Testimonials
We had the most amazing experience hosting our wedding here in March '25. Paul from Yumcatering was fantastic to work with and helped us create the perfect night from beginning to end. The space is perfect, lots of space with beautiful sea views and a beautiful blank canvas for whatever vibe you like. Food was delicious, all our family and friends raved about it!! Highly recommend for anyone considering a beachy wedding.
We celebrated our wedding reception at Harbour Room in St Kilda this past January, and it was an unforgettable experience.
From the outset, the team at Harbour Room made us feel like our day was their top priority. Paul, in particular, went above and beyond—his meticulous attention to detail and genuine care ensured everything ran smoothly both in the lead-up and on the day itself.
The food was exceptional, with guests praising the quality and presentation of each dish.
One of the highlights was the golden hour on the rooftop—capturing sunset photos with the bay as our backdrop was gorgeous.
We couldn't have asked for a more memorable wedding day.
Very beautiful place for intimate functions. Awesome service and great food and ambience
I honestly don’t have enough words to describe how incredible our wedding was, and a huge part of that is thanks to our stunning venue and the incredible team behind it. From the very first time we visited, we knew this place was special – but it absolutely exceeded all our expectations on the night.
The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. The space was elegant, warm, and magical in every way. The marble bar and fireplace were two of the most stunning features and became real showstoppers on the night. The marble bar added this touch of modern sophistication and luxury, while the fireplace brought a cozy, romantic ambience that tied everything together perfectly. These two elements alone created such an atmosphere of beauty and warmth – they elevated the entire aesthetic of the evening and made our photos look incredible.
The entire team on the night was nothing short of amazing. Every single staff member was professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful. They worked like clockwork behind the scenes to make sure everything ran smoothly, and they did so with such calmness and grace that it put us completely at ease. From the smallest details to the biggest moments, everything was handled with care, precision, and genuine passion for what they do. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how smooth the night felt – like everything just flowed perfectly without any hiccups.
Now I absolutely have to talk about Paul – the real MVP of the entire day. Paul was incredible. From the moment we viewed the space, he made it his mission to ensure everything was perfect – and he delivered beyond our wildest dreams. His organisation, attention to detail, and calm, reassuring nature made such a difference. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing on the night because I knew Paul had it all under control. He kept everything moving beautifully – from the timing of the ceremony, to coordinating vendors, to making sure we had a drink in our hands and a moment to breathe, to tying over 130 bows on each table setting. He genuinely went above and beyond at every stage, and his presence gave us so much peace of mind. It felt like having a best friend, coordinator, and guardian angel all rolled into one. I can’t thank him enough.
This venue was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The space is absolutely stunning, the staff are phenomenal, and with someone like Paul at the helm, you know you're in the best possible hands. If you’re considering this venue – do it. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a seamless, beautiful, and unforgettable wedding experience. It was truly the most magical night of our lives.
