So many great photo locations, and an al round lovely industrial chic look and feel. The staff were fantastic the event manager was amazing and really helped make our day special.

We recently held an event at the Brisbane Powerhouse and could not recommend the venue highly enough. The catering provider had lots of options and the food was absolutely delicious! From initial enquiry through to the night of the event, Katelyn was absolutely wonderful. Her thoughtfulness and professionalism was much appreciated and she made the entire process incredibly easy and stress free.

My partner Peter and I couldn’t be happier with our experience at the Brisbane Powerhouse. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and professional. The team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and we felt genuinely supported every step of the way. The venue itself is absolutely stunning – a beautiful blend of industrial charm and modern elegance, with the Brisbane River and city skyline as the perfect backdrop. It made for some truly magical moments and photos. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of – fun, relaxed, and filled with joy. The atmosphere was electric, the service exceptional, and the coordination flawless. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you to the Powerhouse team for helping create a day we will never forget. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable wedding destination in Brisbane.
