About The Warehouse Geelong
The Warehouse Geelong is a family-run event venue in a building that dates from the 1920s, on Little Ryrie Street close to the centre of Geelong. The family rebuilt it as an events space and attached loft apartments. Through a set of black bi-fold barn doors, the warehouse runs long and open beneath a pitched plywood ceiling more than six metres high. Original timber trusses, polished concrete floors and old Geelong red brick, painted white inside, set the tone. The room has no steps or raised platforms, and curtains on tracks can split it into separate areas for a ceremony, a reception and a dance floor. The dance floor sits in front of a timber feature wall that can carry a neon sign or monogram. Catering comes from third-party caterers, who can use the commercial kitchen on site, and pop-up food vans are allowed. The venue keeps a short list of caterers it has worked with and can recommend. The bar is run by the venue's own bartenders, with an unlimited drinks package and the option of a custom cocktail list. A standard booking lasts five hours, events finish by midnight, and there is no noise limit for bands or DJs. Furniture, heating and cooling, a vintage grazing table, wine barrels and a laneway photo spot come with the hire. There are 45 car parks out front and accessible bathrooms, and three apartments upstairs sleep up to 12 guests.

Frequently asked questions
Can we hold the ceremony and reception at The Warehouse?
Yes. Many couples do both inside the warehouse, using curtains on tracks to divide the space and then opening it up for the reception and dancing.
What does the drinks package include?
The unlimited package costs $69 per person and runs for the whole event. It covers two beers from a set list, a light beer, four wines from one winery and non-alcoholic drinks, and spirits or a cocktail hour can be added.
Is there a noise limit or a curfew?
There is no noise limit, so bands and DJs are fine, and the room has built-in speakers and a wireless microphone. Events must finish by midnight.
How long is the venue hired for?
The standard package covers five hours, and longer hire can be arranged on request. Set-up with your suppliers is usually coordinated the day or night before.
Is the venue accessible and is there parking?
The venue and dance floor are on one level with no steps, and there are ambulant and accessible bathrooms. There are 45 parking spaces directly in front of the building.
