Are you looking at planning an intimate wedding dinner but not quite sure which Melbourne Micro Wedding Venue to choose? Well you’ve come to the right place! As a wedding photographer and a former chef, I’m perfectly qualified to give you the best options for a truly remarkable dining experience. Below are ten of Melbourne’s most sophisticated private dining rooms, perfect for elopements or micro weddings (think 8–40 guests). Each venue has its own personality, making them ideal for couples wanting a dinner that is intimate and totally unforgettable.

Attica — Rippoinlea: a research-driven tasting-room for food-obsessed couples

Attica’s semi-private space is an intimate, chef-led experience. The private dining room is available for small groups, and the evening is all about a considered, ingredient-led tasting menu. If your micro wedding is centered on the finest things in life, Attica is the kind of place that turns dinner into a ceremony. Expect exacting service, seasonal native-Australian flavours, and a room that feels like an extension of the kitchen’s philosophy.

Aunty Kim’s — Collingwood: playful, stylish and customisable private rooms

Aunty Kim’s offers a delicious modern-Australian/Korean-influenced menu. Their two private dining spaces for micro weddings can be combined for sit down dinners of up to . These rooms give you control — playlists, décor, and a separate entrance — which is great if you want the night to feel like your own little party.

Chancery Lane — CBD: atmospheric bistro rooms with old-world charm

If you want moody, European bistro vibes, Chancery Lane’s is the perfect choice. They have a few different rooms suited to intimate wedding dinners. Their menus emphasise classic, seasonal dishes that travel well across a celebratory multi-course meal. The rooms are particularly photogenic and create a cosy, cinematic backdrop for speeches and toasts.

Cutler & Co — Fitzroy: refined modern-Australian dining in a handsome private room

Cutler & Co’s private dining room balances Fitzroy loft-chic with classical dining-room formality. With high ceilings and industrial archways it’s an open yet contained space that feels special without being ostentatious. Cutler offers seasonal menus, faultless service and the sort of wine knowledge couples appreciate for a long tasting dinner. This is a great pick if you want a celebration that’s polished but still rooted in Melbourne’s restaurant culture.

Longsong — Little Bourke St: vibrant Southeast Asian flavours in a historic setting

Longsong serves modern Thai and Southeast Asian-inspired food in a converted 1900s space with a lively, buzzy dining room. For micro weddings, its private and semi-private areas combine relaxed glamour with punchy, share-style dishes. This approach is great for couples who prefer engaged, communal dining over formality. The heritage bones of the venue give a sense of theatre and history to the evening, and the menu’s big flavours keep conversation lively across the table.

Kisumé — Flinders Lane: kaiseki, omakase and intimate subterranean rooms

Kisumé brings a range of Japanese fine-dining formats under one roof. They offer intimate private rooms tailored for kaiseki and tasting-menu experiences. The Hanza private dining room is perfect for micro weddings that want a precise, beautifully plated progression of courses. You’ll enjoy meticulous service, haute-precision cuisine and a hushed, ritualised atmosphere. If you and your partner love omakase or kaiseki, Kisumé is almost unrivalled for a small, ceremonial dinner.

Vue de Monde — Rialto: sky-high views and a minimalist private dining nook

Vue de Monde offers a private dining room and the kind of city-skyline context that makes your photos sing. It’s elevated (literally) and refined — the room is designed for small, memorable occasions and is ideal if you want a dramatic urban backdrop combined with a tasting menu that leans into modernist technique and local produce. The service and staging here are theatrical, which suits couples who want ceremony in every detail.

Flower Drum — Chinatown: classical Cantonese elegance with private rooms

Flower Drum is world renowned, exemplifying the best of contemporary Cantonese banquet-style cuisine. If your micro wedding leans into a multi-course shared banquet (family-style service, made-to-order specialties) and you value a polished, formal dining cadence, Flower Drum’s rooms — which can cater to small groups up to medium-sized parties — are a dependable, elegant choice. The décor and service cadence make it feel like a proper occasion.

Gimlet at Cavendish House — Old-world glamour and a mezzanine private room

Gimlet’s Palm Room and mezzanine private areas marry 1920s-style glamour with contemporary restaurant polish. The private rooms are designed for comfortable intimacy (often hosting up to around a dozen guests), where antique glass chandeliers, leather booths and the hum of the kitchen below give a sense of being tucked away yet connected to the restaurant’s energy. For couples after a refined, slightly theatrical setting with strong steaks and classic dishes on the menu — this is a winner.

Eureka 89 – Dining on the Top of the world

Redefining the term “top of town dining”, the award winning Eureka 89 sits above Eureka Tower’s Skydeck, making it truly one of the most elevated dining experiences in the country. With 360 degree views of Melbourne offering an incomparable wow factor, it’s the perfect venue to impress out of town wedding guests. Eureka 89’s reputation is further enhanced by an award winning menu and carefully selected wine list. After celebrating here, you’ll never want to return to earth!

How to pick the right Melbourne Micro Wedding Venue

• Guest list & flow: pick a venue whose private room capacity and table layout suit your guest number (most of the above cater well to 8–40 guests).
• Food format: do you want a kaiseki/omakase ceremony (Kisumé, Attica, Vue de Monde) or a shared banquet (Flower Drum, Longrain, Aunty Kim’s) That choice shapes the mood.
• Privacy & control. If you want your own playlist and a separate entrance, choose venues that advertise fully private rooms and room-control options.
• Visuals & photos. For skyline or dramatic architectural backdrops, Vue de Monde and Eureka 89 give instant photo drama. For moody interiors, Chancery Lane and Cutler & Co. deliver.

A few practical tips for booking a Melbourne Micro Wedding Venue

• Ask about minimum spends, deposit and corkage policies up front — private rooms often have minimum spend requirements.
• Menu flexibility: confirm whether the kitchen can accommodate dietary requests and whether you can personalise courses or wine pairings.
• Timeline: discuss timing for speeches, cake-cutting (if you’re doing cake), and whether the restaurant will allow a short private ceremony or welcome drinks beforehand.
• Sound & AV. If you plan to have music, slides or a speech, confirm AV access and whether you can control the playlist in-room.

Final Thoughts

Whether you want the ritual precision of a kaiseki tasting, the communal buzz of shared plates or a sleek, modern space with city views, Melbourne’s Micro Wedding Venues have options that let you personalise every moment without losing the hospitality and polish of a full-service wedding.
