About us

Weddings, celebrations and corporate events in a versatile warehouse venue

Celebrate your wedding, milestone birthday or Christmas party at Canvas House, or bring your colleagues together for a conference, training session or product launch. Our adaptable South Melbourne venue combines a loft-style warehouse setting with event planning support, allowing you to shape the space around your guests and the occasion.

We welcome up to 300 guests for a cocktail-style event. Seated arrangements depend on your chosen floor plan, dining format and dance floor, so discuss these details with our team before confirming your guest list. Our open-plan function spaces can be arranged around the event, with a boardroom, lounge areas and a private outdoor courtyard providing additional settings.

Inside, exposed brick, polished concrete and black steel details sit beneath a six-metre cathedral-style ceiling with skylights. A suspended fireplace and living moss wall add character, while heating and cooling help keep your guests comfortable. You can personalise the decor and work with our team to plan the look, timing and suppliers for your event.

Choose our in-house catering or bring your preferred caterer. Our commercial kitchen, pantry and cool room support a range of food arrangements, and our team can connect you with catering, bar and entertainment suppliers. The venue also includes high-speed Wi-Fi, Bluetooth-enabled audiovisual facilities, microphones, a portable television and a bridal or green room. Confirm your technical requirements and supplier access during planning.

We provide step-free entry and accessible bathrooms. There is no dedicated on-site parking, although on-street parking and nearby tram services offer options for your guests. For weddings and other detailed celebrations, an early venue tour is a useful way to discuss the spaces, styling and arrangements that will work best for you.

Incredible support from venue director Nash and her team. We hosted a brand activation recently and they were accommodating to all requests. The space is a beautiful bright blank canvas !! Very grateful to have worked with this venue. Due to contractual reasons I cannot share images, however, I highly recommend you visit the space and begin planning !!! Thank you Canvas House.

Cant fault this place. Whats not to love?! Simple enough to add your persona, yet enough character to stand alone. The cherry on top is the staff, absolutely delightful to work with and super professional.

Nash and Cha Cha are a brilliant team, super talented and made our dream of a surprise wedding at my 50th Birthday better than we could have dreamed of. So creative, talented and they have a lovely team as well. Not to mention Barry the resident 🐶 ❤️❤️

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Working with Aarron at Canvas House was an absolute pleasure! From start to finish, he was exceptional—detailed, incredibly informative, and always helpful. He went above and beyond, recommending fantastic suppliers and ensuring we had everything we needed to bring our client's vision to life. The venue itself was a dream to work with—a beautiful blank canvas that allowed us to design and create the ultimate party that our client wanted. The space was accessible, versatile, and seamlessly accommodating, making the planning process effortless. One of the highlights was the ability to choose our own caterer, and we were thrilled to collaborate with Luckman Catering, who knows the venue inside out. Their food was absolutely delicious, and their team worked seamlessly within the space, making the night run flawlessly. Aarron is a powerhouse of knowledge—he knows every little detail about the venue, which was invaluable in creating such a seamless experience. But beyond that, he’s just such a wonderful person. I’m genuinely going to miss chatting with him on the phone, and I think I’ll be doing some drop-ins when I’m in the area—just to say hello! I can’t wait to do many more events at Canvas House and to continue working with Aarron in the future. Thank you so much for all your help—you made this wedding truly unforgettable! — Gee, Gee What a Wedding
