Zinc at Fed Square
About
Overview & Vibe
Zinc sits at the cultural heart of Melbourne — inside Federation Square on the banks of the Yarra, where Birrarung Marr's elms meet the city skyline. Recently refreshed in speckled marble, Italian travertine and soft grey-green tones, it's the CBD's big-occasion wedding house.
Setting & Style
Ceremonies take three forms: The Edge's architectural glass theatre suspended over the Yarra, the alfresco Riverside Deck beneath the elms, or an intimate Studio 2 gathering with its own outdoor deck. Receptions then scale from Studio dinners to the full Zinc room — 500 seated or 1,100 cocktail — driven by in-house chefs, seasonal menus and an award-winning beverage program.
Ideal For
City couples and large cultural celebrations wanting riverfront ceremony drama and serious capacity minutes from everything.
