Palais-Hepburn

Just an hour and a half drive from Melbourne in the heart of Victoria’s tranquil Spa Country, you’ll find the iconic Palais-Hepburn — a fabulous entertainment venue with more than 100 years of rich history. This heritage-listed building has been recently refurbished and relaunched in all its glory to showcase the perfect blend of 1920s Art Deco glamour and modern luxury. Features of the Palais include stunning vintage decor, a fabulous cocktail bar, state-of-the-art audiovisual facilities, and the oldest sprung dancefloor in Australia.

From the moment you enter Palais-Hepburn, you’ll be swept up by the old-world glamour and opulent Art Deco-inspired interiors. Think rich colour palettes, detailed wallpaper, velvet furnishings, open fireplaces, and ambient lighting. With origins dating back to 1926, the venue has retained much of its original charm and offers a glamorous setting for weddings in the heart of Hepburn Springs. 

Palais-Hepburn offers four stunning spaces for your Hepburn Springs wedding:

• The Theatre Room. This fabulous reception space features the oldest sprung dancefloor in Australia, flanked with state-of-the-art audio and lighting equipment.
• The Salon. Featuring eclectic decor, a cosy open fireplace and a piano, the Salon offers a welcoming atmosphere for more intimate wedding celebrations at Palais-Hepburn.
• The Cocktail Bar. The Palais’ stylish bar area was designed with cocktails and champagne moments in mind, forming the perfect spot for your wedding guests to enjoy arrival drinks.
• The Petite Salon. An intimate, private room away from the Palais’ main social areas, the Petite Salon is often where the wedding party gathers separately for photography shoots amidst quaint decor.

The spacious Theatre Room can accommodate up to 300 standing guests for cocktail-style weddings and 80 seated guests with space for a dancefloor. The Salon has space for 100 standing guests and up to 50 seated.
