Great communication from Kylie throughout the process. Amazing food, drink selection and set up. My guests were all raving about the food, venue and set up.
I would definitely recommend this venue it’s amazing!
Half Acre was the perfect venue for our wedding, and had both our ceremony and reception in the glasshouse. We enjoyed having the greenery of the courtyard for photos and fresh air, with a semi separate bar area for the dance floor. All the staff we communicated with were fantastic, and on the day everyone was friendly yet professional. It was also helpful having smaller details such as candles included, and the space really speaks for itself so you can save money on additional decor. Could not recommend them more!
An amazing venue, with amazing food with amazing staff that supported our every need. The Half Acre event space is what Melbourne wedding dreams are made of
