Lola Melbourne

I hosted my 21st birthday celebration here in August, and people are still talking about it to this day! From my very first enquiry right through to the execution on the day, the communication was seamless and the staff were so helpful and friendly. Every team member I dealt with was lovely, professional, and genuinely invested in making the event special. The venue itself was absolutely perfect and matched my “touch of pink” theme beautifully. It offered a great space, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and it truly created the perfect setting for an unforgettable night. Thank you to the whole team for making my 21st so memorable, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

My partner and I were looking for a place to host our registration of marriage - one that could host about 80-100 people comfortably a la cocktail style on a public holiday. It was tricky, but by chance, we came across Lola by searching for venues online. On a whim, we went to check it out spontaneously on a Saturday afternoon. From the moment we saw it, we knew it was perfect for our event - it was beautifully styled, accessible (perfect for grandparents who needed wheelchairs), and we got a great feeling from the Lola team who were extremely warm and hospitable - shoutout to Courtney and Mary for being so accommodating and supportive! Over the course of a few months, we planned our wedding party with Lola via email. The team was very responsive and helpful with our questions, and when it came to working with our caterers and vendors. In the lead up to the event, the Lola team also allowed us - and one of our vendors - to check out the space so that we could work out furniture/food placements ahead of time. On the day itself, Lola's coordinator Sarah was an absolute legend and delight to work with - she managed our food, logistics and comms with our vendors about pickups, all while maintaining a beautiful and calming presence throughout the day! In short, we had a fab experience with Lola for our wedding. The venue is top notch and the team you coordinate with are excellent and professional. What more could you ask for? 100% would recommend!

We had our engagement party at Lola and would highly recommend it as a venue for your next event. The team were so friendly & helpful in the lead up and on the night, making everything completely seamless and perfect for us. The flexible catering options, ability to decorate as we'd like, and ease of bump in/bump out were a real bonus for us that sets Lola apart from other venues. The Main Bar & Terrace was the perfect size for our group of 130 with breathing room but not feeling too empty either. The venue itself is beautiful and modern and the location is great if you have people coming from all over. Thank you Lola team!

Wow, I cannot even begin to tell you how much fun we all had on Saturday for our 40th birthday! My husband and I had the best time and it more than exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful we chose to have our event at Lola. The staff were incredibly friendly, the service was amazing and the atmosphere was just fabulous! The venue itself is beyond beautiful. We wish we could do it all over again. All of our guests have been telling us how much fun it was! Sarah and Toby were incredible on the day and were extremely friendly and accommodating. Also Courtney and Mary from the events team went above and beyond while planning our event and were always available to answer any questions. We cannot thank the entire team enough, it was one of the best days we’ve had!
