Half Acre Weddings

Half Acre occupies a restored historic mill, with an original A-frame timber ceiling and exposed brick throughout — the industrial character is structural to the building, not applied as styling.

The standard wedding configuration accommodates up to 180 seated guests with a dance floor. Broader event layouts using the full venue have been advertised at up to 300 cocktail; couples should confirm the exact figure for their chosen layout.

Yes. Indoor ceremonies are commonly held in the light-filled Glasshouse, with the Courtyard also used for ceremony moments and photography, subject to weather and approval.

Half Acre has substantial permanent indoor warehouse spaces, including the main hall and Glasshouse, providing a genuine all-weather alternative to the Courtyard.

Couples can book a full exclusive venue buyout, or select individual spaces such as the Glasshouse, Chimney Room or Courtyard — exact exclusivity depends on the booking structure.

Yes. Catering is exclusively in-house through Food & Desire, offering Modern Australian menus with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences and broad dietary accommodation, including Kosher options subject to consultation.

Five hours is publicly advertised, with additional hours available at $15 per guest.

Yes. Music must conclude by 12:00am.

No. There's no onsite accommodation, though hotels and serviced apartments are available in South Melbourne, Southbank and the CBD.

Street parking is available on Munro Street, Boundary Road, Governor Road and Johnson Street; there's no dedicated onsite guest parking, so rideshare or nearby commercial parking is worth considering.

Food and beverage are exclusively in-house through Food & Desire. External styling, florals, entertainment and production suppliers are likely permitted subject to venue approval.

Wheelchair access is publicly listed for the restaurant side of the business; step-free ceremony routes, accessible bathrooms and parking should be confirmed directly for wedding bookings.

The venue occupies a historic industrial mill building; its formal heritage-listing status hasn't been publicly confirmed and should be checked directly.
