Alto in Melbourne is the perfect venue if you want a New York loft style wedding.

Located on the top of the newly renovated historic GPO building, Alto is in the heart of Melbourne city. Framed by floor to ceiling windows on three sides, the city skyscrapers provide magnificent views. Alto has an outdoor area and an inside area both with a capacity to seat over 160 guests or 400 cocktail style.

Alto features a wide range of decor options- starting the large chandeliers, mirrored bar and silver gauze curtains, there is also the option of brining furniture in to create lounge spaces. A blank slate, the options are endless to personalise the space and make it your own.

Alto is managed by catering group Damn Fine Food
