RealWeddings Guide
Tucked within the historic Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron in St Kilda, Harbour Room offers a rare combination: a private rooftop ceremony terrace and a light-filled reception space, both looking directly out over Port Phillip Bay, St Kilda Pier, Catani Gardens and the Melbourne skyline.
The rooftop is the venue's signature feature, ideal for a sunset ceremony or open-air cocktail hour, with a permanent indoor alternative in the Harbour Room itself should the weather change. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows, American oak floors, an onyx marble bar and a generous dance floor create a refined, contemporary backdrop for the reception, accommodating up to 210 seated guests or 300 for a cocktail-style celebration.
Catering is managed exclusively in-house by Elizabeth Andrews Catering, an established Melbourne caterer known for plated, shared and cocktail-style menus, personalised tastings and thoughtful dietary care. With a private bridal suite, dedicated event manager and a setting that needs little additional styling thanks to its uninterrupted water views, Harbour Room suits couples wanting a boutique, design-forward waterfront wedding close to the city.
