Indian & Hindu celebrations in Melbourne's south-east
Indian & Hindu Wedding and Sangeet Venue in Bentleigh East, Melbourne
A grand, pre-styled ballroom for every joyful function.
One venue for every vibrant moment
Built for scale, colour and celebration
Big celebrations deserve a big, beautiful room — and that's exactly what Whitestone offers. Our ballroom holds up to 300 guests beneath a permanent silk floral canopy and crystal chandeliers, giving Indian and Hindu weddings the scale and glamour they call for, whether you're planning a Sangeet full of dancing, a Baraat entrance, or the main reception itself.
Multi-function celebrations are what we do best. Our event specialist works with you across the whole journey — coordinating caterers, entertainment and styling so that each function, from the Sangeet to the big day, comes together without you having to manage it all yourself.
Why Whitestone
Why Whitestone suits your Indian or Hindu wedding
From the Sangeet to the reception, the space and support flex around your traditions.
Built for a Sangeet as much as a reception

Catering that reflects your cuisine
Bring in your own caterer, or let us connect you with our network of trusted suppliers who specialise in South Asian cuisine.

Catering, beverages & cultural touches
Your menu, your traditions
We don't run an in-house kitchen for events, which is good news for your menu — it means our commercial kitchen is simply handed over to your chosen caterer, whether that's a family favourite or one of the South Asian catering specialists from our trusted supplier network. If you're planning a Sangeet, mehndi or multi-day celebration, let your event specialist know early so we can help plan catering and styling across each function.
On the bar side, we offer both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage packages, so however your families like to celebrate, it's covered.
One practical note: if your day includes a Vidaai, petal shower or rice-throwing moment, flag it with your event specialist ahead of time — a small number of items, including confetti and loose flower petals, aren't permitted, to protect the venue's finishes.
