Post Office Hotel

Post Office Hotel Weddings

Located in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, The Post Office is one of Coburg’s hidden treasures. A beloved relic from the city’s early days, The Post Office has undergone renovations to restore this iconic pub to its former glory. It has become one of Melbourne’s favourite wedding spaces. Coburg is just a 15-minute drive from the CBD.

The Scene at Post Office Hotel Coburg

Featuring art deco finishes that hint at a luxurious past life, The Post Office Hotel evokes a sense of understated glamour. A striking white and black exterior with bold lettering is a characteristic of Melbourne’s vintage architecture, and its prime Sydney Road location making it accessible via tram and rideshare. Parking is available in the surrounding streets.

Inside, the building’s sheer size will strike you; cathedral ceilings and large windows allow natural light to flood into the space, making it feel airy and spacious. Exposed brick and rafters allude to a former life as a warehouse, though they’ve converted it into a modern space with romantic aesthetics.

The Dining Room is the jewel in The Post Office’s crown; a spectacular space that often draws a gasp from guests. Lush green and floral arrangements drape across the red brick, softening the industrial feel and becoming a romantic and organic space. Vintage pendant lights maintain the venue’s connection to the past, and terrazzo flooring in neutral colours is perfect for couples looking to set their own colour scheme.

Post Office Hotel Coburg Wedding Ceremonies

The Post Office staff have a special arrangement for wedding ceremonies. At the rear of the glamorous Dining Room is a leafy undercover decking, the perfect spot for a relaxed, garden-style ceremony. You’ll have private access to the decking via the rear of the building, meaning the bridal car can pull up just outside the door where the aisle begins.

The deck can comfortably accommodate up to 36 guests in a church-style arrangement, with plenty of standing room at the rear of the deck. Whilst you and your wedding party take off for formal photos, your guests can mingle on the decking as music begins to play.

The Post Office offers a specific post-ceremony grazing hour. The Post Office staff will serve roving canapes, a chef’s antipasto selection, and charcuterie to guests out on the deck selection. Staff can also offer these options to guests upon arrival at the venue.

Alternatively, you may be interested in seeking out ceremony options nearby. For a garden wedding, consider the gorgeous Coburg Lake Reserve. If you’re planning a religious ceremony, St Augustine’s Moreland Anglican Church is just down the road, as is the Greek Orthodox Parish Of The Presentation Of Our Lord. For civil ceremonies, the Victorian Marriage Registry is just 25 minutes away on Spring St in the CBD.

Post Office Hotel Coburg Wedding Receptions

Receptions kick off in The Dining Room, though guests have access to the private undercover decking at the rear of the room. Long banquet-style tables create a feasting atmosphere; all your friends and family able to come together to break bread at the same table.

Catering is provided by the venue, with experienced chefs crafting exquisite seated buffets and cocktail-style menus. The meals are seasonal and subject to change, but you can expect a mouthwatering array of Modern Australian dishes regardless of the time of year. Vegan and vegetarian mains are available upon request. Optional extras include an oyster station, cheese stations, dessert buffets, and dessert tables.

When the plates are cleared, it’s time to hit the dancefloor. The Post Office has a fully-equipped DJ station to get your favourite playlist pumping, or there is plenty of room for a live band to set up.

At no extra cost, the venue handles the installation of simple table decorations, the cake table with a white linen tablecloth, personalised food and beverage menus, seating chart, and welcome signage, and all required cutlery and crockery. You will also have two onsite consultations with The Post Office’s dedicated wedding coordinator.
