We recently held our wedding reception at The Chandlery, and the night was nothing short of spectacular. From start to finish, the experience exceeded every expectation. The venue: Photos truly do not do this place justice. Both the downstairs bar and the upstairs space are breathtaking in their own way. The beautiful lighting, charming wooden furnishings, and stunning views of Port Melbourne Beach created the most magical setting for such a special celebration. The food: Simply incredible. Some of the best food we’ve ever had - and our guests couldn’t stop talking about it. The menu options were extensive and thoughtfully curated; choosing was genuinely difficult because everything sounded (and tasted) exceptional. The service: Outstanding. The team on the night were warm, attentive, and highly professional. Their care and attention were noticed and praised by so many of our guests. The communication: Seamless from beginning to end. Our event manager, Emma, was an absolute pleasure to work with -incredibly accommodating, responsive, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life. We truly had the best night of our lives, and we owe so much of that to the incredible team at The Chandlery. If you’re considering this venue for a special occasion, we cannot recommend it highly enough - you will be completely blown away.

My partner and I celebrated our engagement/surprise wedding at the Chandlery. The venue is in an amazing location opposite the Port Melbourne beach and the interior decor is stunning, it's the most perfect mix of modern farmhouse style that we were looking for, for our special day. The range of food/drinks catered to everyone's taste/age, and the multi-level space was great for those that wanted a quieter place to sit or those that wanted to dance. Fran, Emma and the team were a pleasure to deal with and incredibly accommodating to our requests and set up requirements, we cannot thank them enough for making our special day one to remember. We hope to be able to celebrate another special occasion at this beautiful location again in the future.

The staff and service were top tier, everything was just really perfect. Thank you for having us!

My parents had an unforgettable 50th wedding anniversary celebration at the Chandlery. The venue was just the right space we needed for the special occasion. The grazing platter was beautifully displayed and the shared lunch course was sumptious. Francesca and Emma were accomodating with our requests and changes. We received many compliments from guests and family. Overall the event was a success and will recommend to friends.

Recently had my 30th birthday lunch here and it was PERFECT. The venue is open and bright, cocktails were yummy, but the hero was the food! AMAZING.

Thankyou Fran and the team for being SO accomodating, it hasn’t gone unnoticed and would definitely do future events here. Thankyou again!
