Magnolia Room

A private, boutique space with its own entrance

The Magnolia Room is Melrose Events’ more intimate space, with its own entrance and foyer separate from the venue’s larger rooms. Modern styling and customisable lighting suit a smaller sit-down dinner, a cocktail function or a full-day workshop, without the scale of a larger event working against the atmosphere.

Connected directly to the Grand Ballroom, the Magnolia Room also extends combined capacity for a larger event.
