Aunty Kim's in Collingwood, Melbourne, hosts company events for up to 100 guests standing or 72 seated in the full space, plus a private dining room for 30 seated or 45 standing. The venue is at 92-94 Johnston Street and takes corporate functions, weddings and private celebrations, each handled by a dedicated events planner.
Seminars and company events
The corporate offer is built around a flexible floor plan. The room can be set theatre style for presentations or in a U-shape for workshops and discussion. It can also be divided into two separate spaces, which gives you a main session room and a breakout room under one roof. A pull-down screen and a projector are installed, a microphone is available for speakers, and wall-to-floor blinds let you darken the room for slides. Wi-Fi is on site and laptops connect directly.
Every client works with one events planner from first enquiry to the day itself. You can choose one of the venue's event packages or ask for a custom offering. A brochure is available as a PDF download from the website, and enquiries go through the contact page. Year-end formats such as end-of-financial-year drinks and Christmas parties are listed among the event types, so the venue is used to hosting whole teams at once.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are part of the offer. The venue pairs the space with a menu it describes as first class, and it publishes a partners page listing the wedding and event suppliers it works with. That page is useful if you need a florist, photographer or entertainer and prefer to start from people who already know the room. Celebrations of life, birthdays, hens and bucks parties and private dinners are also hosted.
Rooms and capacities
There are two main configurations. The Private Dining room holds 30 seated or 45 standing and has an industrial look that suits a board dinner, a client lunch or a small leadership offsite. The Full Space holds 72 seated or 100 standing and is the choice for a plenary session, a seated dinner or a cocktail reception.
The interior combines exposed concrete walls, polished floors, large chandeliers, silver velvet acoustic curtains and floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in daylight. If you need two sessions at the same time, split the space and keep the screen and projector for the larger group. If you need one open room for a reception after the sessions, ask the planner to reset it between the two parts of the day.
Catering
Food and beverage is organized through the venue, and a dedicated Food & Beverage page sets out the offer. Menus and drinks selections are agreed with your planner, and guest feedback mentions meals, canapés and drink choices. Tell the planner early about dietary needs, headcount by session and whether you want food served during or between sessions.
Getting there
Aunty Kim's is on Johnston Street in Collingwood, an inner suburb north-east of Melbourne's city center. The venue's website gives the address and a map link but no transit or parking details, so ask your planner about access for large groups and about arrival times for suppliers when you book.
