RealWeddings Guide
Just two kilometres from Melbourne's CBD in Carlton North, San Remo Ballroom pairs restored 1920s Art Deco glamour with polished contemporary luxury. A six-metre, five-tier chandelier crafted from more than 7,000 crystals hangs above Melbourne's largest circular dance floor, surrounded by twelve waterfall chandeliers, ornate ceilings and a curved marble-topped bar.
The Grand Ballroom accommodates 150 to 450 seated guests or up to 800 for a cocktail-style celebration, while the more intimate Terrazzo Lounge suits smaller weddings of 20 to 70 guests. Ceremonies are held exclusively indoors in either space, making the venue fully weather-protected year-round. A private bridal suite, separate VIP green room and dedicated event coordination team are included as standard.
San Remo Ballroom also supports venue-hire-only bookings with approved external catering, making it a strong choice for Indian, Asian, Kosher and other multicultural celebrations — a versatility reflected in its 2025 Wedding Industry Awards win for Best Melbourne Wedding Venue.
