WATERFRONT FUNCTIONS VENUE
Functions at Berth
Premier Melbourne event venue. With floor-to-ceiling windows framing Victoria Harbour and the Melbourne skyline, Berth is a purpose-built space that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. Designed for memorable occasions, the venue lends itself equally to seated celebrations and elegant cocktail events, making it a versatile choice for corporate functions, weddings, milestone birthdays and christenings.
Where celebrations feel effortless
At Berth, we believe great events are about more than a beautiful setting - they’re about how the day feels.
From your first enquiry to the final farewell, our experienced events team works closely with you to shape every detail of your celebration. Whether it’s a birthday, engagement, christening or Christmas party, we focus on seamless service, thoughtful planning and warm hospitality so you can simply enjoy the moment with your guests.
Spaces for Every Kind of Event
Berth’s open, light-filled room is designed to adapt to your event rather than dictate it. The flexible layout allows for a range of configurations, from intimate long-table dinners to larger seated banquets or lively cocktail celebrations.
We tailor the setup to suit your guest numbers, style and flow of the day - whether you’re hosting a corporate lunch, private celebration or formal evening event.
Menus designed for gathering
Food and drink sit at the heart of every Berth event. Our contemporary Mediterranean menus are crafted for sharing, conversation and celebration, showcasing seasonal produce with refined presentation. You can choose from tailored seated menus, shared-style dining or elegant roaming canapés, all complemented by curated beverage packages featuring premium wines, beers and spirits.
Our events team will guide you through options to suit your event style, dietary needs and timing, ensuring a seamless experience from arrival to last pour.
Preferred Suppliers & Event Styling
Berth works with a carefully selected network of preferred suppliers, including florists, stylists, audio-visual specialists, photographers and entertainment providers.
These partners are familiar with the venue and work smoothly alongside our team to bring your vision to life. You’re also welcome to engage your own suppliers - we’re happy to collaborate and support logistics to ensure everything runs effortlessly on the day.
