Encore St Kilda Weddings – Modern Elegance in the Heart of St Kilda
RealWeddings Guide
Set within St Kilda Sea Baths, Encore St Kilda offers a luxe, imagination-sparking backdrop for beachside weddings, with the Bay right at the door. Floor-to-ceiling windows, an outdoor terrace and a built-in dancefloor make the space as effortless for dancing as it is for taking in the view.
Flexible room layouts and operable walls mean the venue scales from intimate gatherings of 50 up to its full capacity, while two private bridal suites keep the day feeling seamless from start to finish. Ceremonies are held inside, with a rooftop upgrade available over summer, and guests can enjoy pre-reception drinks next door at Captain Baxter or Republica.
In-house event coordinators and award-winning catering round out the experience — a venue where the location, service and food all quietly do the heavy lifting.
