HALF ACRE EVENTS
Half Acre is a striking wedding and event space in South Melbourne, located in a historic mill in Fisherman’s Bend.
Award winning architects Design Office, (Higher Ground, A. Baker), Sophie DiPasquale
(Studio Pasquale, and formerly head designer at Fiona Lynch) and award-winning florist
and event stylist, Michael Strownix have transformed 112 Munro Street into a singular
urban sanctuary while ensuring the building’s heritage has been maintained, restored and
highlighted.
The grandeur of the old Mill - with its exposed brick walls and soaring stained timber
ceilings, dating to the early 1900s - sets the scene for a relaxed, comfortable, intimate, and
unique wedding and event experience.
Half Acre provides the setting for Melbourne’s food&desire to deliver a distinctive catering
presentation with emphasis on seasonal Australian produce from local suppliers and
growers. Now in its 18th year, food&desire consistently delivers spectacular events on
every scale, with a reputation for excellence that has made it one of city’s catering leaders.
That reputation is rooted in a devotion to the finest food and wine, alongside unparalleled
service.
food&desire will respond directly and creatively to any guest needs by tailoring a distinct
menu and space that best represents you and the spirit of Half Acre.
Welcome to Half Acre.
