About

With 12 years experience in the hospitality industry and 7+ years in events, I have organised my fair share of events but it wasn't until 3 years ago when we opened Aunty Kim's that I started in weddings, and I have never looked back! My speciality is finding ways to bring unique elements of a couple's story into their wedding day and re-imagining what's possible. Whether it's an oyster bar, a bespoke cocktail named after the bride's mum or a dragon dance, I want to hear about it!

Aunty Kim's is simply the best! Both the venue and the team are amazing and went above and beyond for our wedding. As soon as we stepped through the door at our first visit, we knew it was the one for our wedding. The space is just so beautiful and perfect for any intimate event! The food was AMAZING! ALL our guests commented on how delicious every food served was and how full they were! The whole team was fantastic, especially with communication. Our venue coordinator prepared everything exactly as I asked and calmed down all anxiety I had in the days leading up to our wedding. On wedding day, she was nothing short of reliable and reassuring. Aunty Kim's is just a perfect choice to host your event and I'm so glad I had my wedding here.

From start to finish, just everything at Aunty Kim's was a dream. Aunty Kim's offered my wedding so much glamour with such a small pricetag. Staff were just so beautiful to work with throughout. Immaculate attention to detail for food, drinks, and dietary requirements with a suave and elegant charm deisgned into the cosy space without extra decor required by yours truly. My partner and I always knew, the one thing people remembered from a wedding was the food, drinks and merriment you can have in a space. These stay with a person through years. Months on, I have multiple guests continuously raving about the food and the drinks, and continue to talk about how cosy and romantic Aunty Kim's, whilst also promoting so much fun to our event. We are so incredibly grateful for a wondrous time. Aunty Kim's provided the BEST whole package experience :)

We had an intimate wedding at Aunty Kim’s with 32 guests plus 2 children and it was perfect. The wedding planning was smooth and easy with lots of flexibility and fit into our wedding plan perfectly, we wanted a small wedding with great food and amazing cocktails. That’s exactly what we got. Our guests are still talking about the food and one even said it was the best food he’d ever had at a wedding. The day ran smoothly and the staff throughout the day had everything organised so I didn’t have to worry. A lot of venues we went to all seemed to have hidden costs and it just wasn’t the case with Aunty Kim’s. We have nothing but great things to say about our experience and I’d love to have another event at Aunty Kim’s. Thanks guys!

Oh my goodness, where to begin? If I could give Aunty Kim's a 6-star rating I would. Possibly more! From the moment we first visited the venue to check it out, we knew it was the right place for us to celebrate our wedding. So much so that we didn't visit any other venues, and we paid the deposit on the spot. Let's start with the actual venue. Polished concrete floors, velvet curtains and Victorian chandeliers. It’s cool and sophisticated – very inner north! There was also plenty of greenery in the room even before we brought in our own floral arrangements, and candles galore really added to the ambience. Our events manager Maddie was so cool, calm and collected throughout the process. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Her attention to detail was second to none, and she thought of things that wouldn't have even crossed our minds. Our wedding night was absolutely magical. Maddie ensured the bridal party's arrival and entry was seamless and she hit every cue in our playlists throughout the night. The food was DIVINE! Delicious, interesting, modern and beautifully executed. Most of our guests are serious foodies and they all commented on how amazing the food and wine was. There were so many options for us to choose from, but we went with ‘Aunty's banquet’ and a beverage package. Dietary requirements were catered to impeccably and the wait staff and bar staff were so lovely and friendly, and unobtrusive. They made sure the night was all about us. We couldn't have asked for anything more for our special night. Having spoken to friends about their wedding/event spend, we also felt Aunty Kim’s represented great value for money. Not having a venue hire fee meant every cent was spent on the food, drinks and experience. We had a choice to book the whole venue (as we did) but we'd consider booking half the venue for a smaller event like a birthday party or a corporate function. It's also a great location. Those who want to kick on after the event could go straight to Fitzroy St or Brunswick St and find a plethora of cool bars and venues to keep the party going. Highly, HIGHLY recommend Aunty Kim's for ANY kind of function. Seven stars +

My husband and I just got hitched at Aunty Kim's on the weekend and what a perfect event space it is to not only have your ceremony there but your reception too for an intimate wedding. We did look at other places around the Fitzroy/Collingwood area but we were drawn to Aunty Kim's because we were amazed with the beauty and elegance of their space, delicious menu (lots of options to choose from) and wide selection of cocktails and drinks with very affordable prices. We had the pleasure of co ordinating our wedding with Courtney. A woman who made sure she exceeded our expectations and vision. Her bubbly and friendly energy is what kept us calm as we planned this wedding within 3 months of getting married. We originally wanted 20+ guests, and as our numbers increased, she was very accommodating to our last minute changes and hiccups. Our 60+ guests who attended on the day has told us it was the perfect day and walked out with their bellies and hearts full. Every little bit of detail that we may have missed, Courtney made sure that she was on top of it. Her attention to detail and prompt communication is why she is the best in this industry! I can say that with confidence as I've helped plan my best friend's wedding and been a bridesmaid many times and worked alongside with other wedding coordinators. Courtney, you are truly one in a million and any future events that is held at Aunty Kim's or anywhere this life takes you, whomever you work alongside with, we have considered the luckiest people in the world! The staff who were present for service during our reception, were super friendly and precise at getting food out on time. They respected our space when needed during speech times. We loved seeing you get involved and loved looking back to our photobooth photos and loved loved loved seeing your photos taken before service time ;) Some feedback we received from our suppliers is that Courtney should be commended on her great organisation. They have also said that Aunty Kim's was a beautiful and diverse space to have a wedding/any event. Words will never be enough but thank you so so much to Courtney, her team and Aunty Kim's for making this such a special day for us. It's one that we will never forget! Love always, The Velantes.
