From intimate celebrations to grand gatherings, Rupert offers an elegantly authentic point of difference from the ceremony right through to the speeches. Boasting cathedral high ceilings, polished concrete floors and peppered with modern copper accents, Ruperts’ warehouse conversion is one of jaw dropping proportions.

As a family owned venue Rupert exudes an intimate hospitality and warmth, akin to a family home. Guests are enticed by the intimate ambience of this inner city sanctuary offering a combination of expansive spaces and cosy nooks. From The Conservatory to The Cocktail Lounge, every inch of the venue has been thoughtfully styled, savouring the ‘outdoor’ atmosphere. Nestled at the rear of the venue, The Cocktail Lounge houses its very own selection of premium spirits to calm those pre wedding jitters or to retreat in an intimate prelude to dancing.

Rupert’s culinary offering is yet another draw card of this divine venue, showcasing a Mediterranean menu thats both unpretentious and authentically delicious. Head Chef Samuel Wilson offers an exciting selection of canapés alongside an enticing feasting banquet for guests to enjoy in either a sit down or cocktail setting. The menu is perfectly accompanied by Ruperts’ extensive beverage offering. With a focus on beer and wine sourced both locally and throughout the world, Rupert’s beverage selection would impress the greatest of aficionados. Push the boundaries with a signature wedding cocktail, created alongside the enthusiastic and talented bar team, an original element to your day for guests to savour.
