The Mint Bar & Restaurant

Whether you’re planning a moody winter wedding or relaxed summer evening affair, The Mint Bar & Restaurant is an exceptional choice of venue. This conveniently-located wedding venue is a converted heritage building, and has been transformed into a colourful establishment with character. The Mint Bar & Restaurant, a local favourite among Melbournites, is decorated in brick, while festoon lighting, foliage, and suspended plants complement the intimate feel of the place. Ceremonies usually take place in front of a gorgeous wall of greenery, with the sun naturally illuminating the area.

The laidback atmosphere and intimate design are certainly highlights of this wedding venue, but it’s the delicious food that receives the most compliments from wedding guests. At The Mint Bar & Restaurant, the culinary options are wide-reaching, with this exceptional venue providing numerous catering options. From their BBQ buffet menu and inviting selection of canapes to their delicious seated main options (our pick? The Atlantic salmon with raw zucchini and fennel salad. Yum!), The Mint Bar & Restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy hearty meals. 

These dishes can be enjoyed from inside the establishment or outdoors in the spacious beer garden. In the heritage building’s interior, guests can warm up by the fire, rest and take in the festivities, boogie on the dancefloor, and enjoy your fun-filled wedding reception.

“We recently had our wedding at the Mint and loved it! Nikki & Dan responded to our questions quickly and were very easy to liaise with. Beautiful setup, relaxed and fun - exactly what we wanted! The food was delicious and the ice cream bar was a hit!” Hailey
