Industrial Character, Hidden Garden Charm
RealWeddings Guide
Tucked down a laneway in the heart of Richmond, Butler Lane is a striking reception wedding venue built from a converted industrial warehouse, paired with a genuinely hidden garden.
A secluded entrance leads guests through a landscaped courtyard, established trees, a living green feature wall and festoon lighting before opening into a dramatic, light-filled warehouse with high-beamed ceilings and polished concrete floors.
Couples can hold both ceremony and reception onsite, marrying beneath the courtyard's green wall before moving inside for the celebration.
As an exclusive Peter Rowland Group venue, all catering is delivered in-house by one of Melbourne's most established caterers, spanning canapés, sit-down dinners, buffets and shared menus.

Testimonials
There were so many things that attracted us to Butler Lane for our wedding; the living green wall, the courtyard, the central location, the modern architecture, the big beautiful windows. We ended up having both our wedding ceremony and reception at Butler Lane and we could have not been happier with our day. The service on the night was fantastic; attentive and careful with dietary requirements. We were really impressed overall and would highly recommend Butler Lane for a private, modern inner-city location, for fantastic food and good service.
Jarryd and I couldn't have been happier with the way the night turned out and couldn't fault the service provided by PRG or the Butler Lane staff. We certainly had an amazing time as did all our guests, we would recommend Butler Lane to all.
