This incredible building is a unique piece of Australian world history, maintained and enjoyed for its intended use and special events, like gala dinners, cocktail parties and now weddings with the launch of the spectacular Dome Promenade.

Head upstairs and experience all the Dome Promenade has to offer. With an unmatched outdoor view of the picturesque Carlton Gardens and Melbourne’s whimsical city skyline, the Dome Promenade is a special and spectacular location that will make you feel on top of the world.

If you’re looking for a special location for filming and photography, a unique venue to celebrate your wedding or corporate event, the Dome Promenade is the perfect space for you. Under the soaring dome, enjoy the open-air decking that provides magical panoramic views of the city skyline.
