The Langham, Melbourne

We had our wedding reception at The Langham, Melbourne recently and everything was wonderful. Here are our highlights of planning and holding our reception at this location. Planning and Preparations A special thank you to our wedding planner Kim Hilbig for her expertise and enthusiasm for making our big day a real fairytale experience! Kim's communication across the multiple layers of the planning stages, from the initial meet and greet to the finishing touches of the evening showed her willingness to go above and beyond to ensure a reception that matched our style of classical, formal, and elegant. Venue Our selection of The Alto Room for our reception was situated on the upper levels of The Langham and overlooking the Yarra and surrounding CBD provided worldclass views, with a sweeping vista from Fisherman's bend to the iconic Flinders' Street Station. An open-air balcony facing these inner-city urban views also impressed our guests on their first arrival into the venue and throughout the evening. A simply stunning backdrop to a simply stunning event. Food & Dining / Catering We were very satisfied with the taste testing from the options provided by The Langham, Melbourne, in-house catering team. The taste testing experience was an experience in itself as we had the opportunity to taste all that selected including beverages, canapes, entrees, mains, and desserts. On the week of the reception the chef's team showed its excellence for fine dining by ensuring that the selected food was to our liking. We had many fine comments from our guests regarding the superb quality of the food that evening. Food Service and Waitering Our team of waiters were super helpful and attentive to the needs of all in attendance, in particular us as the bridal table. We received world-class service with a smile and even some added compliments to our menu. Theming and Decor We were very pleased to find that in addition to our own suppliers that we were arranging, The Langham, Melbourne, shared with us the details of supplier Function Accessories. Paul was very helpful in guiding us through table arrangement styles since he had years of experience in decorating The Alto Room. Additional The accommodation room upgrade and complimentary valet parking were an added bonus to our fairytale package. We would like to recommend to anyone that a wedding at The Langham, Melbourne will exceed your expectations! Words cannot describe how happy we were with our special day! Regards, Jeremy and Bronte

Our wedding at the Langham Clarendon Ballroom was exceptional from start to finish. From our first walk through, our experience felt so personable and high quality. The Langham is classically elegant and has an old school charm mixed with personal touch that creates a tailored guest experience. The cascading staircase meeting guests on arrival and marbled hallways sets the tone for a special occasion ahead. The ballroom and pre-function area facilitated our wide range of family and friends to connect, with the option of long tables and excellent table decor from Function Accessories creating a beautiful aesthetic. The Langham team spent time to understand our vision for the wedding and the elements that were important to us. Planning a high quality buffet style meal with some of our favourite dishes was one focus area for us. At our menu tasting, the chefs and one of the lead waiters met us to discuss the menu and hear our feedback on the food, which gave us tremendous comfort on the day itself knowing there were people we’d made a personal connection with cooking for our family and friends. The Langham’s buffet style menu enabled a variety of high quality options to be on offer, with each of our guests walking away with a special culinary experience. We can’t speak more highly of our coordinator Kim who exuded enthusiasm and professionalism in delivering our special day. Kim brought the best of The Langham to our wedding, co-ordinating across the multiple hotel teams, bringing her knowledge of the hotel’s strengths and a positive mindset to deliver what we saw as a cohesive, seamless client experience exceeding our expectations. Kim’s communication, attention to detail, guidance and handling of logistics made our reception what it was. It was clear that co-ordinating weddings isn’t just a job to Kim, but rather a passion to create truly special days for her clients. Kim was a joy to work with. Our guests walked away remarking about the wedding’s beautiful presentation, incredible food and professional yet personal service.


Kim was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the day we met her, she made us feel comfortable, listened carefully to what we wanted, and supported us throughout the entire planning process. Her communication was outstanding, and she was always approachable, responsive, and organised. On our wedding day, the staff were incredible. They were accommodating, attentive, and truly made our day feel seamless and special. Every detail was handled with care, which allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the moment. A huge thank you to Kim and the entire Langham team for going above and beyond. Their professionalism, warmth, and exceptional service exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend them to anyone planning their wedding.

The Langham made our day so perfect. A special shoutout to Kim who helped us plan and enjoy the day. She carried alot of the load for the day and the whole process. Kim, along with the staff made it seamless and took care of all of our vendors. The food, set up and decor was amazing. We had photo opportunities around the hotel and the team were able to block off the stairs for us to have our photos. Everything was perfect!

My husband and I had our ceremony at the Langham Hotel recently and they did an amazing job to make our wedding day so special. From the moment I reached out Kimberly from Langham, I felt completely at ease knowing we were in such capable and caring hands. Kim was responsive, organised, and thoughtful—especially given how last-minute everything was and my urge to change my wedding ceremony location from elsewhere to Langham. We received a lot of compliments from our guests on how perfect the ceremony was - there was so much peace that was felt in the Alto room and the view was incredible. We felt so calm and supported. Even the little details didn’t go unnoticed, and our stay at The Langham was such a lovely bonus to top off the experience. We’ll always look back on our ceremony with joy and appreciation.
