cocktail parties
Ciao Cielo is a private event space in Port Melbourne, made for celebrating.
From corporate events and milestone birthdays to weddings, engagement parties and larger celebrations, choose from a collection of spaces to host your cocktail party. Pair it with generous Italian dining, exceptional drinks and the kind of hospitality that keeps the celebration going.
Main Dining Room
Up to 90 standing
Soaring arched windows, timeworn walls and original courthouse details give the Main Dining Room a presence that’s difficult to replicate.
Available exclusively for your celebration, it moves easily from a long-table lunch or seated dinner to a lively standing occasion, with the entire historic dining room becoming yours for the event.
Garden Marquee
Up to 100 standing
The marquee offers the perfect space for frivolous afternoons in the garden, whether it’s for a corporate event or a family celebration. With flexibility for seated or standing events, exclusive or shared use, and adaptability for all weather, the garden marquee is the perfect setting for your next event.
EXCLUSIVE VENUE HIRE
Up to 200 standing
For the biggest occasions, take over the entire venue.
Exclusive hire brings together the Old Courthouse, dining spaces and garden for a celebration that can move through Ciao Cielo from beginning to end, with the freedom to create an experience entirely around your guests.
