The venue hire team works closely with the State Library of Victoria's catering partners to provide seamless event delivery for your function. You can choose from specially designed menus for events held in the Conference Centre, or our team and the caterers will work with you to design the perfect menu for that occasion that requires a little more detail.
We use preferred caterers CNK Food Design, Food & Desire and Mr Tulk to provide all food and drinks at events booked through our venue hire service. These caterers can provide breakfast, morning and afternoon teas, lunches, canapes and dinners. Special dietary requirements can also be catered for.
