Encore St Kilda Beach

Best For:

• Beach-adjacent corporate events and networking functions
• Casual celebrations and social gatherings (birthdays, anniversaries)
• Small to medium-sized weddings or engagement parties
• Daytime events taking advantage of the St Kilda Beach location

Estimated Budget Range: Contact-based pricing typically indicates mid-range to premium positioning for Melbourne venues. Beachside locations in this area generally range $2,000–$8,000+ depending on guest count, time of day, and season. Actual costs will depend on specific package inclusions and day of week. Request detailed quotes directly from the venue for accurate budgeting.

What planners usually like:

• Prime beachside location on Jacka Boulevard provides natural aesthetic appeal and reduces need for extensive décor
• Accessible business hours (9 AM–5 PM weekdays, 9 AM–4 PM weekends) allow reasonable lead time for planning calls and site visits
• Direct contact line (+61 3 9593 9033) and responsive team reputation simplifies the inquiry and booking process
• Convenient Melbourne CBD proximity makes it accessible for guest parking and public transport

Things to clarify before booking:

• Capacity and space breakdown – Request specific guest count limits, indoor/outdoor space dimensions, and whether capacity varies by event type
• Included amenities – Confirm what's provided (tables, chairs, kitchen facilities, bar setup, audio/visual, parking) versus what requires external vendors
• Seasonal and time-of-day pricing – Establish whether weekend, evening, or peak season rates differ significantly from standard pricing
• Weather contingency – As a beachside venue, clarify indoor backup options, weather policies for cancellations, and any restrictions on outdoor setup
