The Space

The verdant beauty of Rupert’s plant filled Conservatory offers a truly breathtaking backdrop for a wedding ceremony. Evocative of an evergreen Cathedral, the length and grandeur of the space makes for the perfect wedding aisle.

With a transparent ceiling reminiscent of an outdoor tavern, waiting guests can bask in the beautiful seasonal shifts in light throughout the year, whilst staying fully protected from the unpredictable Melbourne weather. Couples are welcome to engage a recommended florist to customise a bespoke floral arbour or wedding arch, or simply take advantage of the abundance of potted trees and plants that Rupert has in house to create a personalised ceremony space.

Ceremony

With no extra fee to have the ceremony on site, couples are encouraged to enjoy the convenience of hosting both their ceremony and reception within the one venue, removing the need to travel from one location to the next and risk breaking the magical spell that is cast during this special occasion.

All expressions of love are more than welcome at Rupert on Rupert. Couples can trust their experience will be all-inclusive and hassle free, coordinated with equal parts exuberance and expertise.

Mali and Katie chaperone their clients towards an experience that is as personally meaningful and unique as possible. Whether all the bells and whistles are called for, or something a little less traditional appeals, Mali and the Rupert team ensure excellence is delivered with heart.

Reception

Rupert on Rupert offers an unforgettable location to host your wedding. Whether the preference is for an intimate gathering, or a more opulent bash, this beautiful venue offers several exceptional spaces to celebrate.

The Main Dining Hall can seat a maximum of eighty guests for a shared feasting banquet, or up to two hundred for a standing cocktail style party. With its cathedral high ceilings braced by the modern beauty of criss-crossing steel rafters, the fit out pays homage to the best in inner city warehouse conversions. The space can be uniquely configured depending on the number of tables required, and has the flexibility to accommodate a dance floor if cavorting on the cards.

Celebration

The Conservatory is the natural choice for post ceremony cocktails and canapes. Guests can mingle amidst the lush oasis of trees and plants that enrich the space, savouring the ‘outdoor’ ambiance with no concerns for inhospitable weather.

The Cocktail Lounge, nestled to the very back of the venue, is an unexpected treasure. With its own fully stocked bar showcasing a premium spirit selection, this is the perfect haven for the wedding party to steel the nerves with a pre-ceremony whiskey.

Resplendent with the old world comforts of leather chesterfields, vintage lamps and mid-century cabinetry, the lounge also provides a luxurious refuge for guests to retreat to when good conversation is called for later in the evening.
