Unique Styling Tips for your Melbourne Wedding Venue

Summary

A wedding is a special event that becomes a cherished memory, so you want to spend time planning a unique and stunning style that reflects who you are as a couple.
• Every element of the wedding contributes to the look and feel, so it’s important to get everything right.
• To help with this, create a checklist of everything you need for the wedding, including your dream venue. Choose your color palette and theme, keeping in mind how they will work together in your chosen location.
• Lighting can be an important but often overlooked element in setting the mood for your day or evening reception. Consider using scented candles or other aromatics to incorporate all five senses into creating an unforgettable experience for you and your guests

 

A wedding is such a magical event, and will become a memory you will cherish, especially if it reflects who you are as a couple. That’s why you want to spend some time thinking about and dreaming up a unique and stunning style for your wedding. 

Every element of your wedding, from the flowers to the food, to the tables, will all contribute to the look and the feel of your wedding. It can be those small things that make that final experience feel supremely special. That’s a lot of things to get absolutely right!

So, now that spring has arrived, here’s how to start planning your dream wedding.

Unique Styling Tips for your Melbourne Wedding Venue

Create a Checklist

This might sound like an extremely practical or uninspiring tip to start off with, but it’s also one of the most essential. A lot goes into planning a wedding, and missing an element or a two, is easy to do.

So, don’t leave things to chance. Instead, start a checklist the moment you start planning, so you have everything written down. And, this can mean starting with your dream wedding venue. Melbourne has so many wedding spots, but if you have your heart set on a special place, it is always good to have that sorted from the beginning.

Choose Your Colour Palette

This is one of the first decisions you need to make because it will determine everything from the flowers to how you decorate your wedding and reception venue. A nice and easy rule to follow is to start with one central colour and two or three complementary colours to complement it.

It is important to take some time with this decision. Think about your favourite colours and how they will interact with your venue location. For example, if your wedding is outside, then how will your colours look against the greens of the garden or the blue of the sky?

Also, think about choosing some contrasting colours. For example, setting light accents against a darker background will make everything really pop!

Find Your Theme

Choosing a theme for your wedding will help tie everything together, and having a direction will also make certain decisions easier. If you’re on the fence about whether you should include a piece of furniture or a floral arrangement, it can be as easy as asking yourself if it will fit with your theme.

Remember to keep your theme consistent throughout your wedding. Including themed styling tweaks in the following can really bring that wedding to the next level.

● Décor items

● Accessories

● Floral arrangements

● Linens

● Stationary for invitations, menus, and anything else you have written for the day

Tips for your Melbourne Wedding Venue

Think About Lighting 

Not many people think about the lighting in their wedding venue, so this idea can make your special day stand apart from the rest. The proper lighting can highlight particular areas or throw interesting shapes around the room as the day goes on.

This means it is important to look at the lighting in the room when you’ve chosen your wedding venue. As well as whether or not your reception will continue into the night. Think about how you can use light to make the space more intimate, expansive and really accentuate your theme. 

But you don’t have to fret if all this feels a bit daunting to you. When booking at Pearl Riverfront you can take advantage of the experienced, onsite event organisers, and it will be as simple as calling up the team and asking. With friendly staff that are ready to help, you can rest assured that your event can run smoothly and without all the stress.

Incorporate the Five Senses

The chances are that you’ve thought about colours, decorations, a delicious menu and music. But if you really want that ‘wow!’ experience, you should consider tickling those other senses. Touch and smell can be very evocative and create a mood and feeling that’s hard to define and will make your wedding unique.

Here are some ideas for incorporating all five senses in your wedding:

● Use scented candles

● Choose flowers with scents that echo your theme

● Think about the textures of your linens, furniture and decor

● Use an aromatic spray for the rooms

● Have unique perfumes created for the bride and the bridal party


These are just some of the additional things that will make your day that extra bit special and memorable for you and your guests.

Bring Spring to Your Menu

Spring is a great time for food, so you should take advantage of it to make your wedding even more special. Spring foods are light, fresh, and truly elegant. So, for the perfect wedding menu, indulge your guests with the freshness of local produce on offer at this time of year.

But don’t worry, whatever season you were looking to have your wedding, the best food choices are always seasonal. So whether it is Winter and you want to warm your guests with rich and decadent foods or Summer, and you need a supremely light and fresh menu, seasonal foods will always be your best option.

Choose the Perfect Venue 

Choosing the right venue for your wedding is one of the first decisions you will need to make. It’s also one of the most critical decisions, as it will determine everything from the theme to the number of guests you can invite. It is good to ask about the capacity and floorplans as this is the best way to map out your space.  

Choose a venue with grand architecture, a unique location, and a great atmosphere that suits the style you’re aiming for is important. And then let all of those elements inspire you. 

However, it is also important to look at what more each venue has to offer. For example, at Pearl Riverfront you can take advantage of the convenient location to the Yarra River. With direct riverside access, you can create such an amazing experience for your guests, letting them mingle and enjoy themselves whilst sprawling out onto the serene riverfront. 

This is how the experts can create the best marriage ceremonies and wedding receptions for you in Melbourne.

Be Consistent

Whether you choose to have a simple, elegant wedding or something big and filled with flowers, consistency is key. This is more complicated than you think because it means you have to have an eye for detail and look at everything from the colours to the textures, the shapes to the size of your wedding spaces.

You don’t want your wedding to be a blur of colours and items that don’t quite fit together. Instead, choose a few elements that recur throughout the wedding and the wedding venue. This is known as a motif, and it can include:

● A shape like leaves, hearts, or curling vines

● A place like the beach, the mountains, or a much-loved foreign location

● Textured fabric that you use in selected spots around the room

● Flowers that you use in your bouquet as well as on invitations or fabric

● Bringing the outdoors into your wedding with wood furniture, twigs, and leaves

How to Choose the Perfect Corporate Venue for Your Hybrid Meeting

Over the last few years, hybrid meetings have become the modern way to get down to business – giving both hosts and attendees more flexibility than ever before. As hybrid meetings are a combination of in-person and virtual attendees, a unique approach to event planning is needed.

One thing that’s as important today as it’s always been is choosing the perfect corporate venue. After all, the venue you choose can have a huge impact on the success of your hybrid meeting as it sets the tone for the entire event. Home to a variety of modern and stylish multi-functional meeting and event spaces in Melbourne, Pearl Riverfront removes the stress from booking corporate venues. 

Whether you’re hosting a small meeting or a large-scale conference, here are some of our top tips to help you make the best decision for your event – ensuring that it runs smoothly and successfully from start to end.

What to Look for in a Hybrid Meeting Space

Hybrid meeting spaces are becoming increasingly important as businesses adapt to remote and hybrid work environments. However, while your virtual attendees are important, your main focus should be on the comfort and convenience of your in-room attendees. When looking for a hybrid meeting space, here are some things to consider:

A Central Location

Picking a central location is an essential component of a corporate event, be it traditional or hybrid. It can help reduce travel costs, save time and money, and helps to ensure the success of the event.

A prime example of a meeting or conference room in a central location in the heart of Melbourne is Pearl Riverfront. With stunning waterfront views and a modern and stylish design, it offers an unparalleled setting that’s guaranteed to impress your guests. 

Featuring state-of-the-art audiovisual technology, versatile meeting spaces, and world-class catering, Pearl Riverfront can accommodate events of all sizes and styles. Plus, it’s conveniently located near some of Melbourne’s most popular attractions, including the Melbourne Aquarium and the Crown Entertainment Complex.

Spacious Meeting & Event Spaces

Choosing an appropriately sized meeting or event room is essential for the success of any business meeting or event. But why is size so important? The size of the room directly affects the overall experience of the attendees, and poorly chosen corporate venues can lead to discomfort and distraction – with natural lighting, online connectivity and business-focussed facilities all playing a vital role.

When a room is too small for the number of participants, it can create a cramped and stuffy atmosphere, making it  difficult for attendees to move around and engage in activities. On the other hand, a room that is too large can feel empty and disconnected, leading to a sense of disengagement and lack of intimacy. Knowing how many attendees are coming will help you pick the right one.

Pearl riverfront has a variety of corporate venues including six interconnecting studios and four bespoke boardrooms and meeting rooms. Modern, stylish and fully equipped with everything you need for a seamless hybrid meeting, this riverfront icon is perfectly positioned directly beneath Crowne Plaza Melbourne.

Innovative Technology

Technology plays a huge role in facilitating hybrid meetings – which makes it possible for attendees to participate in meetings both in-person and remotely. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated hybrid meets as more organisations looked for ways to enable remote work while maintaining collaboration and productivity. 

These changes have become an integral part of the way many businesses now work and look set to stay for the foreseeable. 

  • Video conferencing software
  • Audio equipment
  • Projectors and screens
  • Interactive whiteboards
  • Cloud-based storage solutions
  • High-speed WiFi

Video conferencing software: Video conferencing software allows participants to join the meeting from anywhere with an internet connection. Popular options include Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, Google Meet, and Webex.

Audio equipment: Good quality audio equipment is crucial for hybrid meetings, particularly for remote participants. This can include microphones, speakers, and headsets.

Projectors and screens: Projectors and screens are useful for displaying presentations and videos during meetings. They can be particularly important for in-person participants who need to see content clearly.

Interactive whiteboards: Interactive whiteboards allow participants to collaborate on digital documents and presentations in real time. They can be particularly useful for hybrid meetings where participants are located in different places.

Cloud-based storage solutions: Cloud-based storage solutions such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft OneDrive allow participants  to share docs, presentations and other files during the meeting.

High-speed WiFi: Without WiFi, hybrid meetings would be a figment of the imagination. Choosing corporate venues with reliable, high-speed fibre internet that covers the entire venue is a must. Especially when multiple attendees are joining online.

Pre and Post-Function Facilities

Pre and post-function facilities can enhance the experience of in-room attendees during a hybrid meeting. These facilities, which include reception areas, networking spaces, bars and breakout rooms can provide attendees with opportunities to socialise, network, and engage with other participants before and after the main event. 

In-room attendees can use these spaces to meet and connect with remote attendees, as well as with each other. Pre and post-function facilities can also offer refreshments and some downtime that help create a more immersive and enjoyable experience for attendees. By incorporating these facilities into the hybrid meeting format, organisers can help in-room attendees feel more engaged, connected  and excited about the event.

Pearl Riverfront pre-function area provides 385m2 of space for up to 100 attendees to enjoy, with a fully-stocked bar and plenty of space to relax and take five in. For large-scale meetings and conferences that require multiple rooms and access to the pre-function area, our 6 interconnecting studios can be used individually or as one large space and provide maximum flexibility. Upstairs in Crowne Plaza Melbourne, attendees also have access to a variety of popular bars and restaurants at their disposal.

Getting Back to Business | Meetings and Events in Melbourne

As a familiar sense of normality finally begins to resume around the world, in-person meetings and events are once again taking place. Of course, that’s not to say that things are 100% as they used to be, but the green light is well and truly lit for functions, meetings, conferences and events in Melbourne. 

Whether you’re ready to start holding in-person gatherings or prefer to continue with one of the new normals, the hybrid event – Melbourne’s state of the art meetings and events venue, Pearl Riverfront is the perfect place to step into the world of business. 

Naturally, many of the safety and hygiene protocols implemented during the pandemic are here to stay; helping create safe and healthy spaces for meetings and events. To help you kickstart your first business meeting or event since the end of the covid restrictions, here are a few top tips.

No pressure to go traditional

While it’s great that people can finally get together in person for a business meeting or event, it’s important to remember that not everyone is on the same page. This is where Pearl Riverfront’s hybrid event solutions come into play. 

Before the pandemic, it was standard for attendees to show up in person, with the odd person joining via Skype or a similar platform. During the lockdowns, technology came to the forefront for the majority of businesses around the world, allowing people to attend from the comfort of their homes.

Pearl Riverfront is a leader in hybrid events solutions, partnering with Encore to provide cutting edge technology that helps meetings and events run seamlessly. If attendees can’t make it on the day due to illness, travel issues or personal circumstances, they can still play a vital role and take part via webcasting, live streams, video conferencing, polls, event apps and much more. In fact, this technology can also be used for in-person events to maximise engagement among attendees.

Breakout spaces perfect for relaxing

Whether you’re looking to put on a corporate conference, midweek meetings, or an evening of networking with cocktails and canapes, breakout spaces are essential for a successful event. Providing additional space, you can choose between the beautiful riverside boardwalk and the elegant pre-function area.

The riverside boardwalk is the ultimate breakout space for hosting stylish cocktail parties, alfresco gatherings and spectacular evening events with the ability to include helicopter flybys, celebratory fireworks and on-river projections. Plus, guests have the option to arrive via the river, which adds to the excitement.

Top 10 Tips for a Stylish Event in 2022

Whether you want to put on a show stopping extravaganza, promote your latest product launch, or host an awards ceremony to celebrate the best in your industry –  planning a successful event can sometimes be challenging.

Pearl Riverfront is Melbourne’s premier meetings, conference and event venue that offers maximum versatility for all sizes of events. To help you create the most memorable Melbourne event possible, here are our top ten tips for putting on a memorable event in 2022.

1. Event Location

The event venue and its location are two of the most important steps that will lay the foundations for the rest of your event planning. The venue determines the capacity, along with any limitations on styling, decor and theme, while the location determines who, and how many, are likely to attend.

Nine times out of ten, opting for a central location in a major city, such as Melbourne CBD, will help keep attendance high. The easier it is to reach, the happier people will be to show up. If the event venue is situated in a well-known area, then this will work to your advantage too. 

It’s also a good idea to think about post and pre-events too. What’s in the local area that attendees can enjoy during their free time? How easy is it to get around? Are rooms available for those who want to stay a little longer? Obscure and out of the box may work for some. But for most, a central location in a stylish venue is the way to go.

2. Event Venue

Pearl Riverfront is Melbourne’s premier events venue, perfect for special occasions, product launches, seminars, trade exhibitions and other events. Located on the banks of the Yarra River, dedicated event spaces for up to 452 attendees provide a stylish backdrop that’s certain to impress.

Studios 1 – 6 can be used individually or as interconnecting spaces perfect for up to 452 guests using banquet style seating, while studios 4 – 6 can host up to 410 guests with theater style seating. For exclusive events that require a more private and intimate space, the Atrium provides the perfect setting for up to 30 guests. 

For something a little more relaxed, Dive Bar and Pow Wow provide spaces perfect for an evening of fun, entertainment and socialising. And those looking to impress, look no further than the private glass cube at Yugo. Encapsulated in the heart of a bustling restaurant and serving up award-winning cuisine, it’s a surefire way to have people talking about your event for years to come.

3. Send Out Invites 

As soon as you’ve set a date and location for your event, the next step is to send out those all-important invites. In the past, hand-mailed invites were the most common way to do this. However, over the last decade, email invites and social media pages have taken the lead.

One of the easiest ways to invite guests and give them the option of RSVP-ing is by setting up a Facebook event page. This also makes it super simple to update key speakers, menus, dress codes and any changes that may happen – automatically sending notifications to those in the group.

4. Event Themes

Choosing a theme for your event shouldn’t be too difficult and the very reason for your event should point you in the right direction. 

Once you’ve decided on a theme, everything should fit into it. From key speakers to the menu and entertainment, the theme acts as the glue that brings all of the main event components together. If you’re not 100% sure about how to theme your event, your dedicated events planner at Pearl Riverfront can help you create a memorable one that will fulfill all of your needs.

5. Menu Planning 

Planning the perfect menu for your event can be a challenge in itself. From dietary requirements and ingredient availability to event type and attendee preferences, it can eat away at your event planning time budget, creating more stress than you need. 

Pearl Riverfront has a selection of banquet and cocktail packages that provide a touch of elegance to any event. Indulge in canapes, 2 or 3 course meals, and a variety of beverage packages. Delivering mouthwatering plates of art to your guests, locally-sourced seasonal ingredients are turned into delectable textures and tantalizing flavours that deliver true delight in each bite.

6. Event Dress Code 

A dress code is a great way to inject fun, sophistication or style into any event. As an example, if you’re planning a cocktail networking event, then you could add a touch of fun by setting a Golden Age of Hollywood dress code. Black tie affairs are always a popular choice, as is smart-casual.

7. Event Decoration

The venue decor will reinforce the theme of your event. Think table runners, balloons, props and all things creative! The decorations are always one of the key takeaway points guests remember at events.

8. Event Transportation 

Depending on the event venue location, transportation should be something to consider. How far are people travelling? Is there on-site parking available? How about public transport? The central location of Pearl Riverfront makes your event accessible for all. 

Located just a short walk from Southern Cross Station and with links to the airport via the SkyBus, guests will find it easy to reach the venue, no matter how they are travelling. 

9. Technology & Equipment 

The last few years have changed the way that many people and businesses do events, with hybrid events becoming a firm favourite. Virtual and hybrid events make it possible for those who would likely miss out to be able to take part.

The specialist team at Pearl Riverfront, in conjunction with Encore Technologies, have perfected the art of the ultimate hybrid event. Connecting people in different cities, states, and even countries!

10. Take Your Time

Sometimes, the best events are those spread out over several days – giving attendees plenty of downtime to enjoy a getaway while taking part in all of the important discussions, dinners and drinks. Consider holding your event on a Friday and Saturday to give guests a chance to explore the city, network and take part at their own pace.

Directly above Pearl Riverfront is Crowne Plaza Melbourne, which has 432 guest rooms, an outdoor pool, onsite dining and stunning city or river views. When hosting an event at Pearl Riverfront, you may be able to get discounted rooms and special offers for guests to avail – giving them all the more reason to attend.

Terms and Conditions to Look When Booking Your Conference Venue in Melbourne

In this time of change and uncertainty, choosing a conference venue with realistic terms and conditions can make planning your conference feel much less stressful. With plenty to do and to organise, the last thing you want to be worrying about is extra charges, deposits or rigid rules surrounding flexibility. 

At Pearl Riverfront, we understand and have adapted to the current climate offering our beautiful meeting spaces with terms and conditions appropriate to these uncertain times. So, to help you make the right choice for your event, we’ve created this easy guide to the terms and conditions you need to look for when booking your conference venue in Melbourne.

Flexible Terms 

With travel restrictions constantly changing, it’s important to ensure your booking caters to flexibility. Read your chosen venue’s terms and conditions carefully before you sign anything and look for cancellation or change policies. 

Many venues are becoming more adept to this, however, it’s important to look out for when booking your conference. The most important section when it comes to flexibility is the terms for booking changes. If the situation with COVID-19 or other circumstances change and you need to reschedule your booking, change the number of attendees, or move to a larger room, then you want these terms to be flexible. Otherwise, they could end up costing you as much as the event itself.

Melbourne Venues Terms and Conditions

Booking Deposit 

It’s always best to book your conference venue in Melbourne early. This will ensure that you get the space you want at a more competitive price and will help avoid disappointment. 

However, before you hand over your deposit, make sure you’re getting the best terms possible. You want to ensure you get low-deposit terms because the deposit is usually non-refundable. A reasonable deposit is usually equal to around 20% of the event estimate, all-inclusive. 

You should also confirm when you need to pay your deposit and when the final amount is due as well. At Pearl Riverfront the deposit needs to be paid to the venue within 7 days of booking, with the final payment due 14 days out from the event. The event estimate includes room fees, accommodation, food and beverage hire, and AV equipment hire.

Food and Beverage

Most good conference venues change their menus regularly to keep things fresh and exciting. This means that menu selections may be subject to change dependent on product availability and seasonality. 

As long as you’re aware that these changes may occur, you can plan accordingly and discuss what options there are with the venue. You can also ask the event venue to curate a special menu that will suit the style of your special event, or specify any preferred dietary requirements for either yourself or your guests.

Food and beverage Melbourne Venues conditions

Extra Charges 

Planning your conference can be a fun and exciting time, however, you should always be wary of extra changes when booking your conference venue in Melbourne. When you receive a quote for your event, it should include everything you need for your event. This will help you avoid nasty surprises and allow you to set up your budget accurately and feel confident in what you are spending overall. 

Your event quote should include all the services you require for your event. This may include: 

  • On-site catering
  • Room hire 
  • Cleaning services 
  • Accommodations
  • Audio-visual solutions

So, before you sign off, make sure that your quote includes all of the extras which you have discussed prior. 

COVID-19 Procedures

Every conference venue in Melbourne should now have in place well-established COVID-19 procedures that are in accordance with local government restrictions by now. They should also have a plan in place in case those restrictions get stricter or ease, ensuring the success of your event even if things are to change.

Covid-19 procedures

Varying Circumstances

Your conference venue in Melbourne can plan for and anticipate a lot of events. But there are some circumstances that are beyond their control. 

Before you sign your contract, make sure you check the terms and conditions regarding the impacts and circumstances beyond the hotel’s control. These can include:

  • Blackouts 
  • Fires 
  • Earthquakes 
  • COVID-19

You need to understand what these events could mean for your special day, just in case the unexpected occurs. Checking this ahead of time will help you avoid any hidden surprises and allow you to react quickly when and if something does go wrong.

Book Your Conference Venue
