Venue Testimonials
If you're lucky enough to host your event at Alto, then you're a winner. Not only was the venue absolute perfection, but the staff also were exceptional, not an empty glass present; they were so attentive! But it all wouldn't have been possible without the help, constant communication, understanding and just all round joy of dealing with Caroline. I cannot recommend this venue enough for any event, a divine space. And the Damn Fine Food team are perfection.

We just hosted our wedding of just under 300 people at Alto on the weekend, and we are so happy we chose this venue. They over exceeded all expectations. The night went so perfectly, the service from all the wait and bar staff was impeccable, and we could not be happier. So many guests later told us how incredible their experience at Alto was also, how good the food and service were.

I recently had my engagement party at Alto and could not recommend them enough! The venue is so beautiful, the wait staff and service throughout the night were incredible, and we received so many compliments on the food. Nothing was too much trouble to organise beforehand, with quick responses from Victoria throughout the lead-up to the event. We had the best night and so did all our guests. Thank you!
