Luna Park Melbourne hosts corporate events, conferences, gala dinners, product launches, team days and weddings, in spaces for 100 up to 900 guests or in full park hire for up to 2,500. It is a heritage amusement park on the Lower Esplanade in St Kilda, and an in-house Events Team plans each function.
Seminars and company events
The park markets corporate use for end of year parties, product launches, team building days and conferences. Luna Palace is the main option for business. It is described as a conference and events centre with a pillarless design, so sightlines are not interrupted by columns. It opens onto two covered terraces at either end, each with second floor views across the park. The indoor area can be split into two separate rooms, which suits a plenary and a lunch at the same time, or a smaller meeting on one side. Audiovisual support is offered, and the park notes that capacities are approximate and change with audiovisual needs and room layout.
Smaller groups can use the Carnival Room (up to 150), the Moon Deck (up to 100) or small reserved areas for groups of 10 to 25 adults, used for corporate cocktails, private dinners, product reveals and team celebrations.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are listed among the main event types. Luna Palace is described as suitable for weddings and gala dinners, and the Rooftop gives an open air setting for cocktail style receptions with bay views. The Events Team coordinates the planning. Couples can also look at the Pavilion for a more relaxed celebration. A function pack can be downloaded from the park's event pages.

Catering

Menus listed include gourmet buffet, elevated canapés, funfair finger food and a rooftop barbecue, and the team adapts them to dietary needs and the style of the event.

History and setting
Luna Park is a heritage amusement park, with a historic Scenic Railway and a restored Luna Palace that has recently opened. The site sits on the bayside in St Kilda, so evening events have water views and the lights of the rides as a backdrop.
Getting there
The park is at 18 Lower Esplanade, St Kilda, Victoria 3182. The site has a Getting Here page covering transport options. Because the park has set opening days, confirm event dates and access arrangements with the Events Team when you enquire.
