State Library Victoria

The State Library Victoria is a uniquely Melbournian venue that is sure to make your wedding one which guests will not soon forget. A perfect space for all couples, from the bibliophile couple to those wanting to celebrate in elegance and style, there is a sense of magic that emanates from the walls at the State Library Victoria, with an old-world glamour which is hard to find in event spaces today.

“We always said we wanted a unique city venue- well the Ian Potter Queens Hall at the State Library Victoria certainly had it all! Our vintage glamour wedding style matched perfectly with the stately room, that managed to handle a full night club vibe at the end of the night! Just stunning. We were so grateful to be able to gift our guests the experience of this gorgeous venue, ‘after dark’.” Jessica S

There are many distinct features unique to the Library, such as long elegant halls, grand marble staircases, Corinthian columns, galleries and reading rooms, just to name a few. Whether you are looking for a ceremony location, reception location, or both, the venue can cater to both, the State Library Victoria can cater to the needs of your big day. 

Over the last decade, the State Library Victoria has been brought back to life with $88.1 million worth of redevelopments, which has exposed some of the never before seen rooms back to their original grandeur. These restorations haven’t infringed on the historical atmosphere; instead, they have created a seamless combination of new and old. There are now eleven new function spaces within the State Library that can host your dream wedding.
