WELCOME TO
OLIVA SOCIAL
THE PLACE TO BE AND PARTY
CELEBRATE LIKE IT MATTERS
Welcome to Oliva Social - Where Melbourne comes to celebrate
Welcome to our happy place, where Melbourne families remember why they adore each other. A space built for parties that become family legend hugs at the door, sore feet, full hearts. Here, sequins glide past Sunday sugo, and Nonna’s moves meet Gen Z’s beats. Our kitchen tells stories through recipes passed down with love, generous, heartfelt, and made to be shared.
Because the best nights aren’t just parties, they’re memories in motion.
This is the home of proper celebrating.
THIS IS US
WE ARE THE REBELLION AGAINST THE BORING.
We live for legendary.
We started this place the way most great parties begin in a kitchen, surrounded by friends and family, arguing over playlists and stirring one more pot of sugo “just in case.” We built it because Melbourne deserved a space where celebrations felt real again: generous, loud, heartfelt, and a little bit glamorous. A place where your Nonna feels like a queen, your mates feel at home, and your kids discover the joy of a packed dance floor. We don’t just host events, we look after people. We learn your family’s favourites, plate up abundance without apology, and make room for every tradition that matters to you. We’ve watched shy cousins grab the mic, best friends become family, and four cultures find the same beat by dessert. That’s why we love what we do: because every night here reminds us how good it feels to belong to something bigger.
NOT JUST A VENUE

"My 60th birthday party was the most amazing experience thanks to Oliva Social. From the very first phone call with Tijana and meeting with John, to the function with Eros, we had nothing but excellent service. Delicious and abundant food, amazing service and congenial atmosphere! What more could one ask for? Going by all the compliments and praises I received regarding the party, I can 100% recommend Oliva Social for your next function! I would do it all again next weekend if it were possible!"

"...My partner and I had our engagement party at Oliva Social, and we just want to say a huge thank you to all the amazing staff! A very special shoutout to Tijana, our event organiser. She was honestly incredible. From our first walk-through of the venue to keeping in touch during the planning and right up until the end of the night, she was such a gem and made everything so easy for us.
The venue itself is beautiful. So spacious, perfectly set up, and the food was absolutely delicious. We honestly couldn’t fault a thing. We had the best night ever, and all of our guests loved it just as much as we did. Thank you again guys!!

"Thank you to Oliva Social and especially Tijana and Carl for hosting our Gender Reveal party! The team were absolutely perfect and the food was abundant: no guests left hungry! We were especially impressed with how attentive the team were to dietary requirements! Tijana and Carl was fantastic in helping us organise a fun gender reveal and went above and beyond in making the day extra special for us! It will be a day we never forget, thank you team! The venue itself was spacious, clean and trendy, and our guests were blown away by the event! Will certainly be using Oliva Social again for future events!!!"

"Simply the best! Oliva Social is the venue we recently held our wedding at. This venue is nothing short of incredible. Tijana and Carl are two of the most kind and amazing venue owners I have ever encountered. They love their venue and you can tell their heart and souls go into everything they do. From the most efficient communication I have ever received, to the most organised wedding, I could not fault my experience. They also did my styling which was literally my dreams come true. I cannot sing their praises enough. My guests were blown away by the food, the venue, the vibes and every single staff member who helped us on the day.
I would strongly recommend anyone looking for the perfect venue tour Oliva. Meet with Carl, talk to Arianna and fall in love with this beautiful place.
Thank you Tijana and Carl! You made our dream wedding come true!
