Melbourne’s city skyline, Carousel is operated by caterer’s

food&desire. The ‘Bel Air’ style entry with white courtyard,

has been revived within the white terrazzo dance floor,

while a warm sophisticated blend of fine textures and

natural tones are used to create a minimalistic space.

Operable walls, elegant linen curtaining, automated

blackout blinds, tailored furniture and a state-of-the-art

audio system, enhance the versatility of the venue for

events from 50 to 1000 guests. Floor to ceiling sliding

doors open onto Carousel’s balcony where cocktails,

wedding ceremonies, and outdoor entertaining is held.

At Carousel, food&desire offers you a dedicated and

highly skilled events team who ensure that every facet of

your event at Carousel is executed with the highest level of

creativity, integrity and attention to detail.

Most importantly, food&desire understands and embraces

your request to be original and make your wedding come

alive!
