Modern entertainment at Studley Grounds
Tucked away in the beautiful, leafy surrounds of Kew, Studley Grounds is a spectacular choice for couples seeking a seamless blend of natural parkland beauty and contemporary urban style. Boasting floor-to-ceiling windows, bright open spaces, and a gorgeous alfresco deck, this venue offers a completely fresh backdrop for a wedding. As local regulars, we know exactly how to work with all of the venue’s spaces for a seamless flow to your day.
We pair the venue’s effortlessly bright and modern vibe with a premium lineup of modern DJs and live musicians who know how to throw a proper party. We set the right vibes early in the day, before shifting gears to drop your favourite bangers on the dance floor.
Why we love Studley Grounds
-
A dream location for your vendor team
All of your vendors – from your DJ and live musicians to your florist and stylist – will absolutely love working here, as the venue has a smooth, easy bump-in with ample parking and plenty of room to set everything up. The venue also gives plenty of time to bump in, which means they won’t have to rush. Plus – for couples and guests – the after-party venues in Abbotsford and Collingwood are close by and plentiful!
-
The sun-drenched alfresco deck
The expansive timber deck just outside the main room is the ultimate spot for your pre-ceremony arrival drinks and post-ceremony cocktail hour. Surrounded by towering trees and lush greenery, it has an incredibly relaxed, open-air feel. The ceremony is just a short walk down the grass, overlooking the beautiful Melbourne city skyline.
-
Built for a great flow
The floor plan here is incredibly well thought out, keeping the bar, the dining (or cocktail!) tables, and the alfresco deck completely connected. This seamless layout means your guests never feel segregated from the main room. Whether they are grabbing a drink, chatting on the deck, or hitting the dance floor, the energy stays consolidated and high all night.
-
No sound limits for the dance floor
This is the holy grail for Melbourne DJs. So many beautiful garden venues have strict decibel limits that kill the dancefloor vibe, but Studley Grounds’ indoor reception space lets you actually push the volume when it’s time to transition to the dance floor.

What do our clients say?
On the wedding night the music was amazing, the vibes were high, I am so happy we booked her as our MC as the flow of the night was perfect.
Really candid and natural ceremony and she was an amazing celebrant.
Would definitely recommend booking for all three services if you’re getting married
Aleks completely understood the brief: gay divas party vibes from start to finish! Her expertise in reading the room, choosing the right songs, and keeping the dancefloor full all night was honestly incredible. We had guests telling us afterwards how much fun they had dancing, and that’s a huge credit to her.
We also loved the extra services she offered. The dancefloor lighting completely transformed the space and created the perfect party atmosphere, and the audio guest book has become one of our favourite keepsakes from the night. Being able to hear heartfelt (and hilarious!) messages from our family and friends is something we’ll treasure forever.
If you’re looking for a DJ who is organised, easy to work with, genuinely cares about creating an amazing experience, and knows exactly how to keep the party going, we couldn’t recommend One More Song and Aleks more highly. Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!

She completely understood our slightly tricky mix of music tastes and somehow managed to create the perfect soundtrack for the night. She played such a big part in making our wedding feel so special and memorable.
Thank you so much Aleks!
We couldn't recommend you more highly for anyone planning their wedding.
Eddy was also kind enough to film our first look as he was setting up during the moment, a moment we will forever have on video now. Thank you so much, Eddy!
From our very first meeting, Aleks totally got our vibe. In the lead-up to the big day, her communication and support were excellent, and we felt like we were in very safe hands the entire time.
On the night itself, we genuinely had the absolute best time and everyone (and we mean literally EVERYONE) was raving to us for weeks after about how amazing the tunes were. From the moment the dance floor opened, it was packed, and it stayed that way all night. Our siblings slipped downstairs for a bit and told us they could see the ceiling vibrating from the dance floor absolutely popping off. It got to the end of the night and we even had to arrange an impromptu wedding exit just to get people off the dance floor...we reckon everyone could have kept going for hours more! The vibes were unreal and we had an absolute blast 💥
We can't recommend Aleks and One More Song highly enough!

We got so much positive feedback from our friends and family, with lots of people asking if we had made the playlist ourselves because it felt so perfectly “us.” On the day, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Eddy took care of everything and coordinated with our venue seamlessly, which made the whole night completely stress-free. He was an absolute highlight and helped make the party one of the best parts of the day.
From our very first enquiry we knew we were in good hands. Everything was so easy and straight forward which was a big help during the wedding planning process, knowing that you have professionals who have your back and care about providing the best possible experience!
We booked DJ and MC services and we loved how effortlessly the night flowed.
The dancefloor was everything we wanted and more, the music was perfect with all of our favourite songs. Everyone is still talking about how good the dancefloor was!
Thank you again Aleks, we hope we'll see you at another wedding soon!
