The Terrace Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne Events & Parties
Birthdays, bridal showers, Christmas parties, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, and more are all welcome at The Terrace, the Royal Botanic Garden’s function centre, but you don’t need the excuse of a special occasion to gather with your loved ones. However, when you’re looking for venues to play host to a truly exceptional celebration, The Terrace is the perfect spot.
Located within the world-famous Royal Botanic Gardens, and just a few minutes outside the Melbourne CBD, The Terrace is described as a glass blank canvas, completely flexible to your decor, theme, and seating arrangement. Working with events management and catering team Blakes Feast, all of your needs will be taken care of.
BYO is welcomed, and inhouse bar staff are available to serve. External caterers must be approved by The Terrace staff before your event.
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows is the terrace, an outdoor area that overlooks the beautiful Ornamental Lake. Home to many species of native wildlife, your guests will enjoy the sweeping views of the lawns and manicured gardens.

Venue Testimonials
We got married here recently, and this is a great venue first and foremost but what makes it an amazing venue is the amazing is the team. From start to finish, the team were professional to deal with. We would highly recommend the venue and catering team for anyone considering having their reception at this beautiful location.

The venue was beautiful and the food was amazing. The communication was really great. We were able to go in and set things up a few days before the wedding which we found really helpful. There were lots of different options on how we could set up the room which was great.

My husband and I got married Wednesday 8th of July at the Terrace. Thanks to the team, we were able to have the most beautiful and intimate wedding. We had the most amazing day and the food was INCREDIBLE!!! We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to help us with our day. Thank you so much again for everything.
