About Alto Event Space
Set on the top floor of Melbourne's landmark GPO building, Alto Event Space brings couples a rare mix of heritage grandeur and city-centre convenience. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the room with natural light by day and frame panoramic views of the CBD skyline as the celebration moves into the evening.
The venue is designed to flow effortlessly from ceremony to reception and from dining to the dance floor within one connected space. Couples can exchange vows in the light-filled hall or on the open-air rooftop terrace — a private garden oasis wrapped in sweeping city vistas — before guests move seamlessly through to the main reception.
A polished brass feature bar anchors the room, serving an elegant selection of cocktails and beverages, while a 1am licence lets the party continue well into the night. With chef-created catering by Damm Fine Food Co. and rigging in place for draping, floral installations and chandeliers, Alto suits couples wanting a stylish, contemporary celebration in the heart of Melbourne.
