Crystal Palace & Courtyard — Local services in Melbourne

I hosted a family and friends birthday party here on a sunny Sunday afternoon and it was an absolutely delightful experience. Completely stress free! Louise and Lisa looked after our more than 70 guests (ranging from 6 to nearly 90 years old). They catered for people who wanted a nice tea or coffee in the courtyard through to those who were hitting the espresso martinis. A great selection of wine and beer and plenty of non-alcoholic options. Worked seamlessly with the caterers that they recommended. All in all, highly recommended for any type of event where you dont want to be doing everything yourself. Also I must say very handy to have an almost completely flat, wheelchair friendly space with great art everywhere and a cloakroom for interstate visitors to drop their luggage....

Just returned back home (only a 3 minutes walk) from this gorgeous place, it is truly a treasure to behold, my twin sister and I had a martini 🍸 (it was a very good martini) along with some nibbles. The drink menu is impressive as well. We are both enormously grateful that a decent bar is not only beautifully to behold, it is incredibly elegant without being too pompous. The staff (two exceptional ladies) are so attentive and just delightful, how fortunate are we living in North Carlton that this treasure trove has been unearthed. Most definitely we will be...

This is the perfect place to host an event. I hosted my bachelorette party there and we all the best time. The venue has ample space for large groups, is beautifully styled with plants in the courtyard and holds warmth in the front area for the bar and dancefloor. It's also great value for money with flexible options which was great. Louise and Lisa shared all the info thoroughly and answered all my questions, were accomodating with the extra details I wanted for my hens and were excellent, attentive hosts/bartenders for the event.

Thank you so...
