Venue Testimonials
I photographed a wedding here last year and hands down it's one of the truly unique event venues in Melbourne. From the moment you step inside, you'll be struck by the moody and airy environment, which sets the tone and depth.

Our wedding at Canvas House was absolutely perfect. The team went above and beyond to give us great suggestions, set up all the little details, and even helped us arrange flowers. They were passionate and dedicated, and so easy to work with. The venue itself was so beautiful and special and our guests loved it.

This venue is a hidden gem in South Melbourne. I recently attended our work Xmas party at this venue. Excellent service, the staff were very attentive. The food was amazing/excellent gluten-free options. I can highly recommend this venue.
