We want to extend our deepest gratitude to the entire team at Ultima Function Centre for allowing us to celebrate not one, but two special events with you. Our pre-wedding Roce on 6/09 in the Glass House and our wedding on 8/09 in the Pearl Ballroom were absolutely unforgettable!While there were a few hiccups initially, the end result of the wedding day was nothing short of perfection—a solid 10/10! The team did a fantastic job, and we’d like to especially thank the chef, event coordinator Trinh, event day supervisor Pari, and of course, the big boss Jimmy, for your incredible support.Some highlights from the day that we absolutely loved:• The breathtaking floral arrangements on the ceiling, which added a heavenly touch to the Pearl Ballroom.• The generous and delicious entrée served, leaving our guests more than satisfied.• A thoughtful bottle of sparkling wine and a lovely greeting card that made us feel so special.• Personalized service by Pari, who checked on us throughout the day and ensured every detail was followed to perfection.Our guests also raved about the food, and we highly recommend these dishes that were a hit:• Paani puri shots (the best and #1 favorite!)• Fish Amritsari• Malai Chicken Tikka• Palak Paneer• Butter Chicken• Karachi KormaWithout a doubt, it was the best Indian food we’ve had in Melbourne! You all made us feel so special, and as the happiest bride on my special day, I couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you, Ultima, for catering to our needs and making our wedding truly magical.With love and gratitude,Laveena & Mel

I have had the pleasure to visit Ultima Function Centre as a musician for weddings. Having visited many different venues around Victoria, this site definitely is one which can hold your dream event all in one place (ceremony, canapés, reception) with spacious and well-designed ballrooms. The team goes above and beyond to help and nothing is too much to ask. Thank you and looking forward to being back at Ultima again!

Nice big venue. Service was nice.Catering (not sure if it’s in-house) but was so underwhelming. Wish function venues such as these would invest more with their food, especially charging such an exorbitant amount per seat. And the seats felt like they were made of legos, squeaky and unstable. Speakers felt like it’s all busted base, and sounded like someone blowing, screaming and scratching on the mic.Btw the photo is a lasagne, which was cold in the middle, and tasted less friendly than the ones I bought from Coles.Sorry 😢

I had to pickup a guest but getting out of the parking area was problematic and took so long since it does not have a dedicated exit. The route for arriving cars for pickups interferes with those cars which need to leave the venue. It makes long delay.

Hosted a birthday here in the Pearl Ballroom which turned out to be the best birthday celebration I've ever had.The room was modern, tidy, and in a great location. Staff were friendly and attentive. Internal catering was excellent. Would recommend this venue for any celebration.Special thanks to Kim, one the managers who was very responsive and easy to deal with on such short notice. Thank you again for the wonderful night!

We had a wedding last week and were very enjoyed. Me and my partner were very worried everything as it was our first time, but Kim the coordinator who connect with us does fixed all of our worries. The team done a great job especially Casandra, she does and fix our request by all night long. Ceremony and reception were happens together but everything runs smoothly, we worried about the weather on the day as heavy rain the day before but we had a wonderful and great day! The food and canopies were amazing, not salty and very delicious. But the service of serving food might need to be improve, we do understand after the pandemic time, we believe that it will getting better after this;) At last, a big applauses to Kim, the team and chef at Ultima Function, will definitely recommend to others.

Venue Size and Capacity

Venue size and capacity is an important consideration when planning a charity event. A large number of guests can create a challenge when it comes to finding a venue that can accommodate everyone comfortably. Choosing a venue that is the right size for your expected number of attendees is important. The venue should also have the necessary amenities to make your event a success. When selecting a venue, be sure to consider the size of the space, the capacity, and the available amenities. With careful planning, you can find a venue that will perfectly fit your charity event.

Celebrate Your Next Event With Ultima Function Centre

Great location for great events

When deciding on a location for your charity ball venue, it’s important to consider Melbourne’s unique layout. The city is divided into a number of distinct precincts, each with its own character and charm. Whether you’re looking for a sophisticated setting or a more relaxed atmosphere, there’s sure to be a perfect venue for your event. Location is also an important factor to consider, as you’ll want to make sure that your guests can easily get to the venue.

Public transport is a great option in Melbourne, with a comprehensive network of trains, trams and buses that can take you anywhere you need to go. And with so many things to see and do in the city, there’s no shortage of places to explore after the event. So when it comes to choosing a venue for your charity ball, be sure to keep Melbourne’s many charms in mind.

Event planning made easy with parking facilities

Parking facilities are important for any large event. For charity balls, this is especially important as guests will be coming from all over the city and may not be familiar with the area. Having adequate parking will ensure that guests can easily find a spot and get to the event on time. It will also help to prevent congestion and traffic jams around the venue.

Hire the perfect catering service for your charity venue

Food and beverage options are essential for choosing the right hall for Melbourne charity balls. The right caterer will be able to provide various options to suit your event’s needs, whether it’s a sit-down meal or a more casual buffet. They should also be able to work with you to create a menu that is within your budget. In addition to the food, it’s important to consider the type of beverages you’ll serve at your event.

Will you need a full bar service? Or would a more limited selection be sufficient? Be sure to ask about any special requirements, such as kosher or halal options. With careful planning, you can be sure that your event will have the perfect food and drink to keep your guests happy and hydrated.

Room hire costs: what you need to know

Room hire charges for charity ball venues can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, such as the size of the room, the location, and the time of year. However, there are a few general tips that can help you get the best value for your event.

  1. First, try to book well in advance. Venues are often willing to offer discounts for early bookings, so it’s worth checking availability when you have a date in mind.
  2. Second, consider alternatives to traditional ballroom venues, such as art galleries or converted warehouses. These types of venues can often be hired at a fraction of the cost of more traditional locations.
  3. Finally, remember that the venue is just one part of the overall cost of your event. Try to negotiate terms with other suppliers, such as caterers and DJs, in order to keep costs down. By following these tips, you can ensure that your charity ball is both memorable and affordable.

Facilities available for charity events

The venue’s additional services for charity ball events are many and varied. Some of these include decoration, music, catering and event management. Venue staff can help with all aspects of your event, from planning to execution. They are also experienced in working with charities and can offer advice on how to make your event a success.

In addition to these services, the venue also offers a range of facilities that can be used for charity events. These include a large ballroom, a stage, a dance floor and a bar. The venue is also available for hire at reduced rates for charity events. For more information on the services and facilities offered by the venue, please contact the venue manager.
