About the function space
When you need a venue that handles serious numbers without sacrificing atmosphere, the Wellington Room at Stamford Inn Hotel delivers. As the largest of Stamford's three function spaces, this room accommodates up to 400 guests for cocktail events or 100 for seated dinners, making it our go-to recommendation for clients planning major birthday milestones, corporate Christmas parties, and large-scale celebrations.
What sets the Wellington Room apart is its relaxed, open-plan layout combined with premium features: a spacious outdoor beer garden (perfect for Melbourne's warmer months), expansive stage and dance floor, and private bar facilities that keep service flowing smoothly even at capacity. The room's L-shaped layout prevents that "packed ballroom" feeling while maintaining an energetic party atmosphere your guests will love.
Stamford's all-inclusive cocktail packages take the pressure off event planning. Decorations, bar tabs, AV equipment, and experienced coordination are all handled.
