Post Office Hotel Pub & Dining Hall

We recently had our wedding at the POH and it was better than we could have dreamt of! We couldn’t believe how easy wedding planning felt with the help and guidance of Aja. She had everything we needed and organised the schedule/timeline with us. Communicating was easy, frequent and responsive. One the night, we can’t thank the staff enough for their incredibly kind, helpful and friendly manner towards us and the guests.

Our guests also raved about the food! We had a family style meal and the food was superb. We had the best night and thoroughly enjoyed everything the POH team delivered.

Thank you so much Aja, you are amazing!

During Covid & during the night while I had a new born sleeping on me, I decided to fill my time searching for our perfect wedding venue. Social media is where I started, I actually saw another venue which was also quite stunning, this setting, along with being in lock down unable to simply go to a dinner or pub with friends or family set the vibe for what we wanted for our special day. I had an idea in my Pinterest board for years of an industrial brick look for my venue, so after shooting out a few emails and receiving the package books from the venues it was once I received the Post Office Hotel wedding packages and saw ‘family style roast’ was when I took a more detailed look at the venue, and it was truely stunning! What was even crazier, years before I had a screen shot of the venue in my wedding idea folder along with my dream dress and I ended up with both of them, talk about manifesting my dream wedding.
I showed my hubby to be, we organised first contact with the venue pretty much 16/18 months? For a tour (with a then blob of a baby), POH was the first and only venue we looked at, we knew instantly this was us and our vibe. It was also on this date we for the first time threw out actual dates for our wedding and like that we were locked in for the 14th of October 2023, my step son would be 13 and our daughter 2.5.
We visited two open days to taste the food & wines then lock in what we wanted based upon our menu selections and there were so many different options to choose and tailor to what suits you. We knew we wanted canapés, two sit down hearty meals and our cake as dessert. And boy did we receive sooooo many compliments about the food from older to young. No one was hungry not one complaint, even from the kids!
We loved the fact that we could have our ceremony and reception in one venue, we had two kids to consider, we loved the idea of getting our photos and formalities done first so the kids could arrive and relax, which the lounge area was great for, what was unexpected was the kids were having so much fun, they joined the dance floor and the dance floor went off! It was awesome having the different areas in the venue to cater to the different types of mingling. But all in one and no travelling!
My favourite part of the day was the ceremony and cocktail hour, we had organised drinks during the ceremony and this created a super chilled, fun pub vibe, which is what we were going for, especially with an acoustic guitar player during that time. If only I could relive it over and over again!
And the staff, WOW! We mostly had contact via email in the lead up to the wedding, I’m extremely organised so they might have thought I was a little extra, I rather over prepare so I could relax on the day. Which I did, I knew getting to the venue on the day then we could relax as the lovely coordinator Meg, would take care of everything else, which she and her team truely did!
I was also my own florist and stylist, and unfortunately I wasn’t able to do my favourite part and set up on the day, but the staff (with my cute diagrams) executed my styling vision and made it all come to life, the room looked stunning!
My other vendors also had high praise for the POH staff and the venue itself.
I can not highly recommend this venue for any function or just a pub (fried chicken burger and Parma are to die for) enough, everything ran smoothly and perfectly from the time we first received the wedding brochure, our first visit, to our final face to face meeting & emails, until the actual day itself. If you choose POH guaranteed it will be a wonderful experience, your photos will look stunning, your guests will have high praises, you vendors will want to work there again and you will have the most everlasting happy memories of the the most magical time in this wonderful space!

This is a long one, but bear with me. It’s worth the read! My husband and I recently had our wedding here and we want to let everyone know how amazing POH is.

To Aja, I genuinely don't know what I would have done without you. You matched my vibes exactly and nothing was too much trouble. You were so great at answering all my questions and working with us to make the day exactly what we wanted it to be. I knew from our finalisation meeting that everything was just going to go so smoothly and that you and the team would do whatever was needed to make the day as great as it could be. Your communication was excellent and your understanding that we were looking for much more of a party feel, than a traditional wedding, made the day come across that way. We won't ever be able to thank you enough - our wedding day was what it was because of you. You're amazing, truly.

We have had so many rave reviews about the venue and the staff, and in particular, the food. This cocktail concept that you have is so perfect because I find with traditional sit-down, you either get stuck with a meal you don't like or there isn't enough, but this way, everyone could have what they wanted and as much of it was they wanted. Mitch said the food was absolutely amazing and there was no stand-out because everything was so good!!! Thank you to the chefs and the kitchen staff - we have heard from some people that it was the best food they've had at a wedding. You've put together an amazing menu that can meet every guests' needs and it is beautiful food. A huge thank you to the staff at well, they were so accommodating and so helpful, and I hope that none of our guests were hard work or made their jobs hard. I know I was annoying constantly ordering vodka raspberry shots at the bar!

The venue is so versatile with so many set-up options, you can have exactly what you want for your wedding. Our wedding was perfect because we got to have it at POH. Love Mitch and Em 09/12/23 xxx

We had our wedding there in March and the venue is awesome! Jen, Meg, Caitlin and the team were great to work with and the day ran absolutely smoothly. If there were any issues, we did not know about it!
The venue itself is full of character and we did minimal styling. The great thing was we were able to hire some items like candlestick holders, the neon sign amd the arbour for our ceremony which worked out really well! They also took the hassle out of having to organise my own printing and did our seating chart, table numbers and menu (I wasn't too fussed about that stuff).
All the guests raved about the food and there was plenty to go around and the quality was great (shared plates to the table).
It was a great day/night and all our guests had a great time!

I had my wedding at the Post Office Hotel last weekend and it was absolutely amazing! Our Event Manager Caitlin was a dream to work with, she supported us from the beginning of our wedding planning journey to the very end and she was very accommodating with our needs. The venue itself was stunning and the food was impeccable! So many people came up to us on the night (and even after the wedding) to praise the food. This venue was exactly what we were after and we highly recommend it!

We had our wedding reception here in July 2023 and couldn’t have been more delighted! Meg and her team were excellent at running the evening - everything went so smoothly. The food was AMAZING and plentiful (guests are still commenting!), and all dietaries well catered for without any hassles. Meg was great to work with in the lead-up to the event and everything came together how we’d imagined! Would 100% recommend having an event here!

We recently held our wedding at the POH and we would 100% recommend having a wedding here! The staff were amazing to deal with in the lead up to the wedding, nothing was too difficult, and they made the whole process of planning a wedding super easy. The food was absolutely amazing, as was the service on the night. If you are after a relaxed and fun wedding venue, this is it! Special shout out to Meg for ensuring our day went off without a hitch!

Giles and I are so overwhelmed by how magical our wedding at the post office hotel was. I would recommend it to anyone (and already have). Our guests can’t stop raving about the food and the attentiveness of staff on the night was incredible. In addition Caitlin and the events team were phenomenal- very communicative throughout the uncertainty of rescheduling due to covid as well as supportive throughout our planning process, nothing was too much trouble. Helps that they are also all round good humans! The venue itself is beautiful- relaxed, industrial and green so if that is your vibe then look no further! We can’t thank the venue and staff enough, it will be a day we treasure forever.

The Post Office Hotel couldn't have been a more perfect venue for our ceremony and reception. All of the staff there were so incredible to work with and thought of everything! When we had to change our first look venue at the last minute Jen was so accommodating and helped us change it to have it there which was wonderful and so memorable.
We heard nothing but how incredible the food was at our reception and how much they loved the relaxed vibe with the outdoor decking space.
Thank you to all of the staff especially Jen, Caitlin and Meg xxx

We had lunch here recently in the beer garden and had a great time!
We ordered the Fish and Chips and the Chicken Parmigiana and both were delicious. Side note: the coleslaw in particular with the F&C was really tasty!
The vibe was great and the staff were friendly. Will definitely be back!

My husband and I had such a magical day celebrating our wedding with loved ones at the Post Office Hotel. I would recommend this venue to anyone, particularly if you are looking to have a relaxed and intimate wedding. The venue vibe is very much rustic / industrial aesthetic with lots of greenery, as soon as we saw it we were like this is so us. Our guests kept praising the delicious food and the superb drinks they had on the day and gushing about what a great time they had and we can’t agree more. Our day also went relatively smoothly thanks to our amazing wedding co-ordinator Caitlin and her team. They were very supportive throughout the planning process and were super understanding about our need to reschedule our wedding due to Covid. They helped us prepare a timetable of what the day would look like and even co-ordinated with our vendors for on the day setup. You cannot ask for a better team to back you on your wedding day. We can’t thank the venue and the staff enough for helping to create such a special and memorable day for us.

I apologise for the delay in getting this review in, it's been 3 weeks and I'm still dreaming of how perfect my brothers wedding was. I want to thank each and every one of the staff for a smooth flowing evening. Everyone was super attentive and great attitudes to match such a friendly and fun environment. The food. Omg. The food. Please pass on to kitchen staff that it was thoroughly enjoyed. Was there a special Salt used? Even the table salt was out of this world 😂🤌 also coffee, please let us know what coffee beans you use because that was the smoothest and tastiest coffee we have had in a while. Thank you again for putting together such a great venue. We had a fantastic night, and we have enjoyed many nights in the beer garden too with the same love for the place x

My wife and I were married at the Post Office Hotel in April 2023 and we could not have picked a better venue! The entire team (especially Meg and Jen) made sure the planning was made simple and stress-free and our big day ran perfectly! The food was to die for and all of our family and friends cannot stop telling us how much fun they had.

The perfect location for a wedding and reception! Full compliments to the staff, especially Jen who went above and beyond at my niece’s wedding!
Indoor space, outdoor space and some great details for the perfect photos.
Food was 👌. Loos are unisex, which the older attendees weren’t keen on, but the toiletries such as deodorant and hand sanitiser were a nice touch.

We had our wedding here in July, if you're considering this venue just book it, you will not regret it at all.
Meg was so incredible to work with in the lead up to the day, made it so easy for us to bring our vision to life.
We brewed a beer with Aled, and this will always be a highlight of our wedding!
Our guests could not speak more highly of the venue, we've had multiple people mention it was probably the best food they've ever had at a wedding!

Went in for Melbourne Cup Day - had lunch with a few families. Great food and great atmosphere, awesome staff too. I had the teriyaki chicken burger, and kids had the cheeseburgers. Smiles all round.

Great pub, great vibes. Especially bartender Ruby! Best service I’ve seen in my travels in Melbourne so far. She was very accommodating and great with recommendations. Will be making this my new local.

A massive shout out to the staff at the Post Office Hotel. On Tuesday night we had our Staff Xmas Party and Aja was so accomodating and extremely helpful. We had Piers & Ella serving us throughout the night and they could not have been more helpful. No request was too small.
All of our staff are keen to have our next function here again!

We were lucky enough to have the incredible POH Events team run our wedding, and I’m so grateful to be able to say I’m a bride who actually enjoyed their wedding thoroughly. Everything was done perfectly from the day we chose the venue. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend X

Had an awesome steak and Caesar salad. Was delicious, worth the money. And service was relaxed but good
