Room for the whole family
Our ballroom comfortably holds up to 300 guests, ideal for the larger, multi-generational guest lists that come with celebrating a Nikkah.
Nikkah celebrations in Melbourne's south-east
Nikkah & Muslim Wedding Venue in Bentleigh East, Melbourne
A beautifully styled ballroom with room for family, tradition and everything that follows.
A celebration shaped around what matters
Beautifully framed, entirely yours
Whitestone is a pre-styled ballroom in Melbourne's south-east, built to hold a room full of family for your Nikkah — from an intimate ceremony to a full reception with all the joy that follows.
Beneath our permanent silk floral canopy and crystal chandeliers, your celebration is beautifully framed from the moment your guests walk in.
We know a Muslim wedding isn't one-size-fits-all, so our team works around what matters to you — a halal caterer of your choice, an entirely alcohol-free event, or a Nikkah and reception held back-to-back in the same space. Whatever the shape of your day, our event specialist is there to help plan it.
Why Whitestone suits your Nikkah
Designed around family and tradition
Flexible catering, thoughtful transitions and one dedicated specialist make it easier to celebrate in the way that feels right for your family.
A space that flexes to your traditions
Whether you're holding your Nikkah ceremony and reception in the one room, or keeping them separate, our team helps plan the run sheet and room transitions around you.
Catering on your terms
There's no in-house kitchen dictating your menu — bring your own halal caterer, or let us connect you with one from our trusted supplier network.
A beautifully neutral, elegant backdrop
White gloss floors, soft florals and crystal chandeliers suit any colour scheme or styling you bring in, from traditional to contemporary.
One dedicated point of contact
Your Whitestone event specialist coordinates vendors, timing and details so your family can simply be present on the day.

Catering, beverages & cultural touches
Halal catering, your way
Food and drink are two of the biggest questions we're asked by Muslim couples planning their Nikkah, so let's answer them upfront. We don't operate an in-house kitchen for events, which means you're completely free to bring in a halal caterer — or ask us for a recommendation from our network of trusted caterers who specialise in Middle Eastern and South Asian cuisine.
On the bar side, our non-alcoholic beverage package covers a full range of soft drinks, so a completely dry celebration is just as easy to arrange as one with a bar. Either way, your venue hire, styling and event support stay exactly the same.
One practical note: if your celebration includes a flower petal shower or rice-throwing moment, flag it with your event specialist ahead of time — a small number of items, including confetti and loose petals, aren't permitted, to protect the venue's finishes.
