Milestone celebrations in Melbourne's south-east
Anniversary & Milestone Celebration Venue in Bentleigh East, Melbourne
An elegant ballroom for celebrating how far you have come.
A milestone worth remembering
The same elegance as the day itself
Whitestone is a pre-styled ballroom in Melbourne's south-east, built for the celebrations that mark how far you've come. Beneath a permanent silk floral canopy and crystal chandeliers, the room brings the same elegance to a 25th anniversary as it does to a wedding day — without you having to style a blank space to match the occasion.
Whether you’re marking a milestone anniversary, renewing your vows, or gathering family for another kind of celebration worth remembering, our team is with you from your first walkthrough through to the night itself — sourcing vendors, building your run sheet, and making sure the evening runs exactly as planned.

Catering, beverages & personal touches
A menu that feels like you
We don't operate an in-house kitchen for events, which means your menu isn't dictated by us — bring in a caterer you already love, or ask us for a recommendation from our curated guide of trusted caterers who specialise in a range of cuisines, including the cuisine that reflects your own family's traditions.
Our beverage packages cover both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, with BYO arrangements also available — the exact corkage and package costs depend on what you choose, and your event specialist will walk you through the options. Because the space is already styled floor-to-ceiling, you're free to layer in your own touches, from a milestone-specific colour palette to photos marking the years, without needing to build a look from scratch.
