The Refinery is one of Brisbane’s best wedding venues that has been well-thought out and meticulously put together specifically to host magical weddings. Our space was born out of a desire to offer couples a versatile one-stop-shop that focuses on making that wedding planning process so much easier! We’ve created a chic, minimal blank canvas that comes with all of the essentials you need like on-trend furniture, beautiful crockery, signage and stationery.

You have the option of hosting your ceremony on-site in our private garden followed by drinks and nibbles over cocktail hour, followed by either a seated or cocktail reception inside our warehouse. The space is yours!

We pride ourselves in being the most refined in all that we do, offering top-notch service, quality drinks and incredible in-house catering from our sister venue, Rogue Bistro. Our packages have been designed with love so that you can pick and choose as you please and plan an amazing wedding centred around good food, good wine and good vibes.

We would love to meet with you to discuss your special day and show you through the space! Click below to get in touch with us and organise a viewing appointment.

“Thank you to Rach, Amelia and the whole Refinery team for an incredible event. From our first email correspondence it has been nothing but exceptional; planning, communication and details were friendly, clear and well-documented. Questions were met with a positive can-do attitude and requests accommodated or Rach was able to point us in the right direction. Set up on the night was more beautiful than we imagined, you would never have known we were in Newstead, and the event ran very smoothly, all managed so professionally by Rach & Amelia. Service by the staff was top notch with all guests positively commenting on both the incredible service and devine food. We can’t recommend the venue highly enough.”
