Melbourne’s Award Winning Events Venue

Fenix Events is Melbourne’s newest, unique wedding venue, owned by Maple Event Group. Previously a restaurant, Fenix was put through a million dollar make over and transformed into a contemporary, food-focused venue now specialising exclusively in private events, for Melbourne’s inner-east.

Featuring a contemporary, modern design, Fenix is famous for its waterfront location overlooking the Yarra River and its nationally award-winning menus. Including unique features such as heated outdoor areas, off-street parking, floor to ceiling windows and a staircase alongside the venue leading directly to the river, Fenix is a Melbourne events icon that is here to stay.

Comprising of two event spaces and with the ability to cater for as few as 80 people and as many as 350 people, Fenix is sure to impress as a Melbourne event venue with true wow factor.

Weddings and Ceremonies

Fenix Events is a beautiful option for unique wedding ceremonies in a natural, riverside setting. With a spectacular view of the river, surrounded by greenery, your ceremony will be one to remember!

Wedding ceremonies at Fenix Events can be held outdoors or indoors, both with beautiful views and modern comfort. Couples can marry outside on our River Terrace and then move indoors for their reception as the sun sets. Or, if you’re just after a ceremony only location, you can say ‘I do’ inside the venue with up to 300 friends and family looking out through floor to ceiling windows at the Yarra and treetops.

Fenix’s riverside setting creates an effortlessly beautiful ceremony backdrop. The architecturally stunning building will impress guests as they approach, whilst our experienced team will ensure your friends and family are well looked after and ready before you arrive at the ceremony.

Beverages

Fenix offers an extensive and premium beverage selection.

Local, and internationally sourced wines, beers and cocktails designed to enhance the flavours of our food, and to inspire the senses of our guests. All our beverages are carefully selected based on their versatility and their ability to be paired with your menu.

The Fenix beer selections are varied, premium and come from both local and international breweries, offering a recognizable and inspired list from which to choose.
Our cocktails have been created to be the showcase item at your event. From familiar classics to signature selections which are quintessentially Melbourne, our cocktails will give your guests an exciting night that they will never forget.

My husband and I highly recommend Fenix Events for your wedding or any event. Aimie and her team are friendly and the consummate professionals. They have excellent attention to detail. They accommodated many dietary restrictions without batting an eyelid (gluten free, vegetarian, low fructose). I had total confidence in Aimie and her team which meant I could completely relax and enjoy the day. (Note: We had both our ceremony and reception at Fenix Events).
