THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO

ACKNOWLEDGE IMPORTANT LIFE

MILESTONES, BUT A CELEBRATION

WITH YOUR NEAREST AND DEAREST

MAY WELL BE THE FINEST.

An iconic Melbourne destination, the Prince Deck boasts picturesque panoramas of Melbourne City and Port Phillip Bay, exuding an atmosphere of romance and unpretentious luxury.

Glorious, light-filled indoor spaces spill out onto the expansive timber deck where guests can soak up the sun or enjoy sunset drinks overlooking leafy Fitzroy Street. Incredible food, teamed with exceptional beverages and warm hospitality make it an

unforgettable location for weddings large or small. Whether you are hosting a grand party or an intimate gathering, the Prince Deck’s team will ensure your wedding is truly memorable.

No two weddings are the same, because no two couples are. Working together every step of this journey, we look forward to creating an event that celebrates a love like no other – yours.
