Encore were superb in helping organising our wedding in January. This was a short notice plan for a wedding but the team and Emily in particularly were very proactive and helpful in getting it together in time. They catered for everything smoothly and provided a simple 1 stop solution for our ceremony and reception. Our only criticism was our cocktail style wedding not enough seating was provided at first and we had to ask the staff a few times to get items in the room rearranged and chairs brought out for people. Otherwise it was a great experience with them.

My sister had a date on hold - due to covid restrictions was unable to come in and view it. But was on hold for her date. Her coordinator at the venue had emailed her saying another couple wanted to book that date in if she wanted to put down a deposit, in which she was willing to do with only seeing it from the outside.
My sister then emailed… back because no one answers their phones at encore. Emailed back and said yes let’s go ahead and book that in PLEASE. Not even 24 hours later she received an email saying she won’t be able to get married there until April 2023!!!! So encore

Encore is a beautiful venue to get married. My husband and I got married on the 7th of March 2021 at Encore and we have had the best feedback from our guests. The service was fantastic on the night, food was exceptional, and the venue itself was absolutely stunning. Thank you to the amazing staff that assisted us with the planning and the big day. Special mention to Ruby, Amy, Letisha and Locky for going above and beyond to make our day so special. We highly recommend this gorgeous venue. Thank you!

Thank you so much to you and the team at Encore Events for making our brunch event so fabulous. We were in awe from the moment we stepped into the room - it was even better than we had remembered it! The staff were so welcoming and helpful and the food was absolutely superb - a great selection and great portion sizes. It was a magical morning and perfect way to recover after the wedding and to host our guests who were all very impressed.
It was a pleasure working with you - thank you for being so accommodating and helpful throughout the past year as we often had to shuffle things around due to

As a Melbourne based Celebrant, I go to lots of wedding venues but this is one of the best! Super stylish and modern, whist overlooking the beach. I think it's an advantage that they have a perfect wet weather option which is often overlooked by Melbourne couples. (SO important!) At Encore, you will move seamlessly from ceremony to reception! (Oh and their sound system is top of the range!!)

My husband and I had our wedding reception at on Encore on the 25th May 2019.....We were extremely happy with the whole experience from start to finish! Our guests STILL talk about how wonderful the food,… service and ambiance was.
The food servings were large and the table service meant our guests were always with a drink!!
We not only chose Encore based on positive reviews but for also chose for the size (we had just over 200 guests) and accessibility factors (as some guests cannot climb stairs etc.....) Parking is right there too (which is an issue in St Kilda)
Do not hesitate in choosing

What can I say? Encore are the best! Thank you to Amy, Michael and Chris for organising, setting up and running our wedding reception so smoothly. All guests were so impressed with the venue and set-up. We couldn't be happier with how well the night ran. Most importantly our guests commented that food and drinks were absolutely delicious! And the service staff so attentive. We hope to have our future occasions held at Encore again! The best decision we made.
