“My husband and I recently hosted our wedding day at Encore St Kilda Beach earlier this month. The food was absolutely delicious, and every course was prepared to perfection. However, what really set this wedding venue apart was the staff. They were friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the entire evening, and they went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly. Overall, we had an amazing experience and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful setting, delicious food, and exceptional staff. Thank you for making our wedding day so special!”
– Carlia & Nick, 1st Apr 2023

“Couldn’t recommend Encore enough for a wedding venue. We organised a beautiful lunch wedding in less than 3 months. From our first call with Jody, to our venue tour with Leticia who then guided us through the rest of our planning, to the hospitality staff on the day, the Encore team are fabulous! We kept our wedding low key, however because of the venue aesthetics it still felt chic and elegant! The standard beverage package was surprisingly tasty and we received tonnes of great feedback on the food, specifically the ravioli and the mac n cheese croquet. Thank you again!”
– Nicola & Simon, 25th Mar 2023

– Maddie & Jordan, 25th Feb 2023

“We recently hosted our wedding at Encore and could not be happier with the experience. Our event manager Leticia was so helpful, knowledgeable, and made the whole process a breeze! All of the staff on our wedding night were so kind and accommodating and the venue looked phenomenal – they truly bought our vision to life. I would 100% recommend Encore for your wedding reception!”
– Dejana & Jake, 18th Feb 2023

“We had our wedding reception at Encore. The venue had a beautiful view, amazing service and professional staff. Niamh, our coordinator was very supportive with our last-minute reception planning. Prompt responses throughout the planning gave us peace of mind. Cannot recommend it enough as we had a great celebration with family and friends!”
– Lakshmi & Srikk, 15th Feb 2023

“Everything you want and need in a wedding venue, amazing staff, amazing venue and amazing food! We had our wedding at Encore and couldn’t speak more highly of it. We have received so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the venue was and the food especially, I was too busy mingling to eat any food which I am so disappointed as it was amazing at the tasting! Our event coordinator Niamh was an absolute joy to deal with and responded to all my questions and requests promptly. The venue itself is a beautiful setting with a beachfront terrace to top it off. Definitely recommend!”
– Caitlin & Emanuel, 28th Jan 2023

“We celebrated our wedding ceremony and reception at Encore and were just blown away with how amazing it was! The location, the view and the overall space and layout (and flexibility) was just amazing and we definitely recommend Encore for a wedding venue. We had to postpone our wedding due to Covid and it was handled so well by the team, and even with a change in event coordinator the handover was easy and everything was smooth. Niamh, our event coordinator was superb and responsive and really thought of everything to help make our day so special. It really took some of the stress out of planning to have her! Our day was really exactly how we wanted it! I highly recommend a ceremony on the rooftop if the weather allows. Thanks again to Niamh and everyone at Encore for making our special day one to remember.”
– Jessica & Fabrizio, 6th Jan 2023

“We had our wedding at Encore and it was PERFECT! Leticia was a superstar and made the entire process stress free and made sure that every detail was considered and taken care of. The whole Encore team is fab. This place is epic.”
– Jordana & Joel, 22nd Dec 2023

“We had our Wedding Ceremony and Reception at Encore and we had the most incredible time on our big day! The location is brilliant, the sunsets/views are amazing, and the inside/outside area of the venue is beautiful. From the point of putting in an enquiry, the experience with Encore was so easy and enjoyable – we always received quick responses, our event coordinator helped us through every step of the way– explaining everything clearly and coordinating with our suppliers on our behalf. On the day, the staff (led by Ed) were kind, attentive and patient – never an empty glass! Food was delicious and dietaries all catered for. We had a number of performances to pay respect to our different cultures and the venue size and space easily catered for this. We also had a gelati cart that was able to fit into the space too. All our guests commended on how wonderful the entire day was and we can’t thank the team enough for the most special day! We are so very grateful. We highly recommend Encore to anyone looking for a wedding venue or a venue to host a big event.”
– Lina & Tama, 13th Nov 2022

“Absolutely no complaints, the wedding and the lead-up to it, Leticia and Niamh were constantly in contact and checking up on us. The food was amazing, the location, the space! Eddie and Jess on the day of the wedding were a great help, always looked out for us! Our guests had an amazing time and everyone has told us how great the food and the service was, we also had a few dietary requirements which were well looked after! You guys are AMAZING!!! Thank you! Thank you! Let’s do it all again!!”
– Danielle & Paul, 5th Nov 2022

“Our dream wedding day. The staff at Encore are so invested in seeing you have the best day of your life which is so genuine. The day ran seamlessly thanks to Leticia and Niamh. Niamh was incredible during our planning process, communication was quick and efficient which is everything you could ask for when planning a wedding. Thank you to everyone who helped on the night. Our family and friends raved on about the food and the service, some said it was the best wedding food they have ever eaten. I would highly recommend Encore to anyone looking for a wedding venue.”
– Rebecca & Jack, 28th Oct 2022

“We experienced 2 cancellations due to lockdowns, then our event coordinator left for a new job, and through all these inconveniences our dealing with the team at Encore couldn’t have been any clearer and smoother. Leticia took over the roll of coordinator for our 3rd wedding date and did an exceptional job. She was very easy to talk to and made the planning process so easy. Many of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and how amazing the food was! Thanks to all the team at Encore for creating our most memorable wedding day!”
– Sophie & Jesse, 21st Oct 2022

“We held our Primary School Parent’s Party here and it was just brilliant from start to finish. The venue is stunning and it had been prepared so beautifully for us by the staff. Our coordinator, Jody was legendary. So professional and always providing the best advice to get the most out of our event. We have had so much great feedback from attendees who thought the venue was perfect, the food – canapes – were sensational and the welcome cocktails were perfection. Staff were on point the entire night and kept everything flowing brilliantly. Can’t recommend enough.”
– Brighton Primary School, 14th Oct 2022

“Sam & I had the best experience with Encore and the team for our wedding. Food was a really important factor to us, not only taste but also ensuring it was plentiful for our families. The feedback we received from our families about how amazing the food hasn’t stopped. The drinks kept flowing, and everyone had an amazing night. Encore and the Team made the whole experience so easy, everything was just perfect. Not to mention the stunning sunset photos we got cutting the cake! Literally wouldn’t change a thing, would recommend Encore to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue.”
– Danielle & Sam, 8th Oct 2022

“I cannot recommend Encore enough. We had our wedding here and everything from the service, the prompt responses, and the professionalism – everything for us was 10/10. Encore ensured our day was exactly what we wanted and it was. Nothing was a problem. The ceremony on the rooftop was absolutely stunning and the event space was perfect also. Thank you so much to all of you for the perfect day for Luke and I. We will forever be grateful.”
– Jessica & Luke, 8th Oct 2022

“We held our corporate function at Encore followed by an evening event upstairs at Captain Baxter and were impressed with the level of service we received during the planning process and on the day of the event. We are always looked after by the team at St Kilda Venues and will definitely be returning!”

Jody, Nicole and Jenny were absolutely incredible to liaise with and guided us both through the planning process and on the day. They were all so accommodating to our requests and allowed us to personalise the wedding reception. A huge thank you to all the staff at Encore for all their help and wonderful service!”

“My partner and I had our wedding here at Encore in September and would highly recommend it for your upcoming event. The staff were professional and attentive. The food was amazing and all our guests commented on how good the food was. If you’re planning on getting married here I would highly recommend the rooftop for stunning views and a wow factor.”
– Raquel & Jonathon, 9th Sept 2022

“We had our wedding at Encore at the start of September. The team ensured that we had the most amazing day. From the moment we booked we knew we would have support. Leticia went above and beyond to make sure that everything ran smoothly. From the decorations to the food to the staff, there is not one thing I could I could fault. All our guest have said it was the best wedding they have attended which you know is saying something. We can’t thank the team enough for making our wedding so perfect.”
– Natalie & Matt, 2nd Sept 2022

“We had our wedding reception at Encore and absolutely loved everything about it! The food and gorgeous view were our particular favourites. Jody our wedding coordinator was just incredible, she was so prompt in her responses and had an answer/solution for everything! Her attention to detail and constant updates were so very appreciated. Felt like we were in good hands throughout the whole lead up to our big day and the staff on the night were so lovely and helpful. Definitely recommend having your wedding at Encore if you are considering them as an option!”
– Allie & Perry, 20th Aug 2022

“We had the pleasure of working with the team at Encore for a few years now as we were one of the first couples to be affected by our wedding date due to Covid.
Despite the setbacks due to lockdown, Amy, Antonia and Leticia were incredibly friendly. They were attentive, understanding and very helpful in planning our special day. If anyone is thinking of getting married at Encore, I highly recommend. Our guests were impressed with the food and the beachfront view!”
– Katherine & Peter, 3rd July 2022

“Encore is such a beautiful venue for whatever time of year you decide to get married. We had a winter wedding and it was wonderful. The fireplace, the spacious floorplan, the fairy lights and the candles made it such a stunning day. From our first meeting it was clear that all of Encore’s staff were professional, organised, passionate and had everything under control. The entire lead-up to our wedding was seamlessly organised by Encore, and the evening itself ran incredibly smoothly, on time and exactly as we had planned and discussed. Encore staff took the time to get to know us, our relationship and our vision for the wedding, and ensured that they helped create a unique wedding that was absolutely perfect for us. Our friends and family were blown away by the delicious food and the service on the evening, and we are still receiving compliments today. We cannot thank Encore and their team enough!!”
– Kara & Peter, 25th June 2022

“Encore St Kilda was the perfect venue for Anthony and I, with its relaxed beachside vibe and modern, chic interior! Our ceremony ended up being inside due to poor weather, however, it made the ceremony more intimate and the beach backdrop was stunning. All our guests raved on about the food and the music, many saying it was the best wedding they’ve been to in a long time! We couldn’t have chosen a more perfect venue that better suited us as a couple.”
– Stephanie & Anthony, 3rd March 2022

“Centrepoint have held events at Encore for many years and we keep going back because the service standard is unmatched. During the COVID period, the landscape of events has drastically changed and to have a venue that works with their client in ensuring the best outcome is like gold. Encore have been there every step of the way, from bookings to re-scheduling, to facilitating the events with COVID-safe plans. It’s great to know you have someone on your side working with you to deliver your event even in the most uncertain times.”
