The name ‘Merrimu’ comes from the original colonial homestead built on this site in 1882. It is a local Koori word that appropriately means, ‘meeting place’. The original homestead was converted to a reception venue in 1955, now known as the Merrimu Room. Following a successful 12 years of trading, what is now known as the Grand Ballroom was constructed onto what was the sprawling grounds and circ

ular driveway of the original home. The Merrimu Room, still is complete with many of the original Victorian era features, seating up to 140 guests, while the Grand Ballroom can seat up to 400 guests. Centrally located at 1300 Dandenong Road, Murrumbeena, (opposite the popular Chadstone Shopping Centre), Merrimu is handy to main roads, easy to find and has ample off-street parking. Inside the spacious rooms: Rich wool carpets, ornate ceilings, opulent drapes, gilded mirrors and grand staircase helps create an ambience of glamour and grandeur. The elegance of Merrimu can only be appreciated after a personal inspection.

To all our loyal clients and followers......We refuse to let COVID-19 break our spirit – even though it has brought the events industry to a halt for now….
Our world needs a little rest so that it can better, and MERRIMU will be here when that day comes.
It is business as usual but not as we all know it –Due to the current restrictions imposed on us by the Government, we will now be open Monday – Friday during office hours to answer all calls and emails however, we will not be open Saturday and Sunday until further notice.
MERRIMU has been here since 1955 delivering exceptional service and personal attention to detail for over 60 years and will continue to honour this.
We will continue to support all our current clients and work hard to find appropriate new dates for all weddings and events. In addition, We want to thank all our clients who have taken the time to ask if we are ok – it is in times like this when you realise that we are an amazing community banding together to get through this thick fog, but rest assured the fog will lift ! We thank all our affected clients for working with us and being patient as we navigate through these uncharted waters.
For all clients who are now planning events end of 2020 and beyond we are still here to take your enquiries.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and we invite you to join us on our next journey.
We look forward to seeing you soon so that we can celebrate with you !
Most importantly – The team at Merrimu wish you all good health – and remember, we are all in this together.
