Venue Testimonials
They were really good! I had a personal assistant throughout the process and she helped us out so much beforehand and then on the day she was just excellent, and it felt really good to have her there on the day to make it as stress-free as possible.
Jaccki P
The most beautiful room with a huge balcony overlooking the Melbourne city skyline and Yarra river. Service was impeccable from start to finish.
Daniel F
We recently had our wedding in late November at The Langham Melbourne - Alto level 25...the view was amazing. We had the ceremony on the balcony and then the reception inside. The Langham team were very accommodating and supportive. Highly recommend this venue.
