    About Us

    We are a family run business, with myself, my husband and my daughter who is involved. We originally got into the industry due to my daughter Simone finishing her Double Bachelor degree at Uni in Hospitality & Tourism, my husband Tony’s extensive knowledge in the liquor industry with over 40 years experience & my natural flare for the love of food and design. With all of these factors put together we have created a unique little business that is very busy. Being a family we care about our cutomers who we also treat as family.

    The building was constructed in 1974 from Blue stone originally used in the streets of Port Melbourne. Roomba’s renovated & refurbished the venue in February 2012, creating the perfect setting for a modern/country style function. With our sleek black bars in our classic foyer area, and a touch of French provincial fittings surrounding our warm & cosy fireplace, makes it the perfect back drop for your special occasion.

    The high roof made up of ceiling beams were collected from the Dalgety Wool store established in 1884, giving the venue a spacious feel.

    Our magnificent staircase that once held pride in the Masonic Lodge in South Melbourne Victoria, leads you up from the foyer to our Bridal room furnished with that country French Provincial touch.

    Our large function room draped with classic style mirrors, wrought iron French style chairs adorned at each table which are very comfortable & plenty of room to dance on our timber floors, with a very long bar with your favourite beers on tap along with wines & spirits ready to help you celebrate your special occasion.

    Beach weddings are a favorite among couples looking for a casual, outdoor setting for their big day. Truly, there’s something magical about saying “I do” with your toes in the sand and the ocean as your backdrop. You might think that the best beach wedding venues require a flight and a passport-but it turns out there are plenty of fabulous beach venues right here in the Melbourne, Victoria While these locations are a bit harder to find than, say, barn venues, there are certain Melbourne spots that have an abundance of beaches where you can wed. Whether you’re looking for a local venue or open to a destination wedding, there are plenty of beach wedding venues to choose from.

    Want to have a fantastic destination wedding but don’t want to learn a foreign language or take a 12-hour plane ride to get there? No problem! Some of the best destination wedding venues are right here in Melboure, Victoria, from a ranch to Dandenong ranges, to a beachfront resort in Brighton and everything in-between. The places we’ve included below are not just unique, they’re all gorgeous locations where you’ll love to spend time with your family and friends.

    Few things are dreamier than getting married with your toes in the sands and the sound of the waves in the background, but you don’t need to have a passport to make this dream a reality. There are all sorts of incredible Brighton beach venues right here in the Melbourne, and many of them offer both picture-perfect ceremonies in front of the water and beautiful receptions where you and your guests can dance the night away.

    Having your wedding on the beach? For shore-loving couples, there’s nothing more romantic than the sounds of the surf, the sand between your toes and the sultry, salt-tinged air as you say your vows. And if you want to invite the whole gang, think about a fun-filled wedding weekend and reunion at an activity-rich resort, beach or lakeside town. Whatever you decide, beach weddings are often memorable, unique and offer a plethora of options. But to make sure everything goes off without a hitch, here’s what you need to know.

    Destination Beach Wedding

    Considering a wedding at a beach that isn’t close to home? A destination wedding is a fun way to get married while you, your family and friends are all on vacation together. Unlike a hometown affair, you can’t assume everyone will be able to attend, especially if the journey is far and costly. Planning a destination wedding starts with choosing a destination, of course. Your beach wedding could happen almost anywhere in the world, like the Caribbean, Mexico, Europe, Fiji, New Zealand and South Africa. Once you choose a destination, you’ll want to choose a venue that fits your style, party size and budget. It’s a good idea to take a trip there, in advance, to check out options in person before committing.

    Wedding Planner

    While it may seem like getting married on the beach will be a figurative breeze, we recommend hiring a planner to handle the unforeseen logistics of a beach wedding. Whether you need a permit for a specific area, or you need someone to handle hordes of sunbathers plopped down where your altar will be, it’s good to have a pro on hand to help with these sticky situations.

    Work with a bridal consultant who specializes in beach weddings, since they’ll have the know-how you need to pull of this type of shindig.

    For a destination wedding, it’s important to get a wedding planner based in the area where you’ll be married to help you navigate a particular beach’s requirements (since these can vary by county and within towns). Planners also serve as expert eyes for finding-and overseeing-local vendors.

    Photography

    First off, you’ll want to find a photographer who’s shot beach weddings. Shutterbugs not experienced with beach photography may be unfamiliar with the proper lighting techniques. Also, take advantage of the beauty of your natural surroundings: waves crashing in the distance, a sunset backdrop beside the water’s edge. For great candids, loosen up. Kick the sand, turn a cartwheel or simply stroll hand in hand. In addition, prepare a list of must-have shots in advance.

    What to Wear

    Typically, beach brides don’t opt for a ball gown because they might be too cumbersome and look overly fussy. Seaside weddings call for a gown made of lightweight fabric-anything else and you’ll be weighed down and hot. Also, remember: It could be windy. A long veil and long hair could get blown into your face. An updo could be a good choice to keep your tresses tame.

    Grooms and groomsmen often sport linen suits, but if it’s really hot, guys can forgo the jacket and wear a loose shirt and pants. For the bridesmaids, light, airy fabrics are key; for comfort, try cotton, crepe or linen. We think nothing says “beach wedding” like a simple sarong or sundress blowing in the breeze.

     

    Flowers

    Beautiful blooms add bursts of color to any space, including the beach. Consult with a local florist to choose the right flowers for your fete-some island locales might have limited options.

    Direct sunlight and heat are no-gos for many blossoms, and you’ll want flowers that last. Those that wilt easily, like freesia, poppies and bouvardia, aren’t good choices. But gorgeous orchids, chrysanthemums and plumeria are surprisingly hardy and hold up well in almost any kind of weather. Or opt for non-floral décor. For beach-themed centerpieces for example, fill large conch shells or colorful beach pails with your chosen flowers.

    Food & Drink

    A beach wedding in Hawaii will be quite different from a seaside ceremony in the South of France, and your menu can reflect that. Incorporate foods and customs of the area. Hawaiian weddings, for example, can involve local delicacies such as poi and roast pig. Similarly, Caribbean choices include jerk chicken, and almost any beach locale can offer fresh seafood. When selecting your menu, also consider the temperature-many foods will spoil in the heat. For example, a raw bar is best done inside where there’s air-conditioning. Many fresh fruits and veggies can go bad if left in the sun, and cheese will melt. Cocktails can be made with tropical or local flavors as well. In hot weather, instruct servers to keep guests’ water glasses full so they don’t get dehydrated, and don’t get too tipsy from drinking alcoholic beverages quickly.

    Time Of Day

    Most beaches don’t have much shade so heat is an important consideration. The Australian coastline is also prone to be windy. To counteract these conditions consider getting married early in the morning, or an hour before sunset. Don’t forget to check the tide times – the last thing you want are waves lapping at your feet. Tides are noisier coming in, so pick a time when the tide is going out.

    Beach Wedding Attire

    The beach is not the place for a fully beaded custom made ball gown with a hoop skirt, or a dark three-piece suit. Your surfside wedding outfit should be made of lightweight fabric that will float beautifully without flying away in a gust of wind. A long veil may get in the way, and loose long hair could end up in your mouth when trying to say your vows. Linen suits look casual and elegant and pants and a shirt are a great choice too. Comfort should always be the primary consideration on your wedding day, especially when you’re waterside.

    Beach Flowers

    Pick flowers for your bouquets that will survive in the hot sun. When it comes to decorating the ceremony space (if you need to at all), think about rocks, shells, driftwood or other found objects from nature.

    Couple Support

    A little known trick to assist with the logistics of a beach wedding is to bury a large piece of plywood, carpet or perspex just under the sand where the celebrant and couple will stand. This helps the wedding party feel more secure and supported, and will also save the day if a ring is dropped.

    Speak Up

    Beaches are noisy, with the sound of waves, wind, birds and the general public. Even with a small number of guests, you will need a portable PA system to amplify the spoken words during the ceremony. Your celebrant should have a battery-powered speaker and microphone. Make sure your entrance, signing and exit music is upbeat and loud so it can be heard clearly over the ambient noise. When you are saying your vows, project your voice a little more than usual.
