About Saints Church Melbourne
Located in the leafy suburb of Ivanhoe East, Saints Church Melbourne is a beautifully restored architectural icon now available for wedding ceremonies, creative productions, and community events. Originally built in 1957 as the Church of the Mother of God, this striking mid-century church was designed by the acclaimed firm Mockridge, Stahle & Mitchell, featuring bold modernist design, vibrant stained glass, and soaring timber-lined ceilings.
Following an extensive renovation, Saints Church was reopened to the public in November 2024 as a light-filled, multi-purpose venue that honours its historic roots as a well known beautiful cathedral while embracing a contemporary, minimalist aesthetic. Whether you’re planning a heartfelt wedding ceremony, an artistic shoot, or a community gathering, this unique Melbourne venue offers an inspiring and adaptable setting.
By booking with us, you’re helping preserve the beauty of our historic church building and directly supporting initiatives that give back to our local community. Every event held here makes a lasting impact — both within these walls and beyond them.

“We absolutely loved hosting our event at Saints. From start to finish, the staff were an absolute dream to work with. They are friendly, professional, and incredibly accommodating. The space itself is stunning, with beautiful design and an atmosphere that made our event feel truly special. It’s hard to find an event space like this in Melbourne!
