Everything about the venue was amazing
We held our wedding reception at Higher Ground. It was fantastic! Everything about the venue was amazing - all our guests raved about the food, no one was without a drink all night and the management was sensational! Out of all the venues in Melbourne, this venue is best on (higher) ground!

The stunning setting
We held our wedding reception at Higher Ground in March ‘22 and it couldn’t have been a more perfect event. Everything detail came together so beautifully - the stunning setting, the warm and accommodating staff, the outstanding food and wine (that guests are still raving about). We owe many thanks to Philippa our event coordinator who was truly outstanding to work with - her responsiveness, planning and attention to detail ensured the whole day’s success.

Higher ground is a fabulous place to host an event
Higher ground is a fabulous place to host an event. We had our wedding ceremony and cocktail reception here and could not have been happier with the process from start to finish. The events staff are extremely organised & personable. The food and cocktails were delicious, and those involved with looking after us on the night were attentive in ensuring everyone was having a great time. And an absolutely stunning venue to go with all of the above. I would definitely recommend Higher Ground
