The Brisbane Powerhouse is a great venue, multiple spots for ceremony, and a great top private area for the reception. 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. Most suprisingly is the powerhouse is very well priced compared to a lot of venues.

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.

We had the most incredible wedding at the Brisbane powerhouse. It was seamless from start to finish, mostly due to how wonderful Anna our event coordinator was, as well as the stunning location. Food was delicious, venue was perfect, and our guests said it was one of the most fun weddings they'd been to. Another bonus is how affordable the venue is for the location and quality in comparison to similar venues. Highly recommend!!
