Corporate Functions & Events at Aerial in South Wharf Melbourne
Nestled on the banks of the Yarra River in South Wharf within walking distance of Melbourne’s CBD, Aerial is a convenient, exclusive hire venue that serves as an exceptional space to hold your next corporate function. Walk through the ground floor entrance and up the large floating staircase to a bright, cavernous room flooded with natural light from the tall windows that offer 180-degree Melbourne city views.
With modern, neutral décor, Aerial can be decorated and designed in a way that suits your event best – including an elegant curtain system that can divide the space to create distinctive areas. It’s a great space for something as extravagant as an annual gala or Christmas party in Melbourne or something as casual as a workshop or corporate training event.
Aerial boasts integrated AV, lighting, and a PA system, with the option to hire extra equipment for conferences and presentations.
The fare at Aerial is perhaps its biggest point of difference from other corporate function venues in Melbourne. The renowned Showtime Event Group runs the venue and offers tailored, modern Australian menus from experienced chefs.
