Weddings If you are looking for something really spectacular, where every wedding is as different as the changing view, a place to leave your guests with magical memories of your special day, then SkyHigh Mount Dandenong is for you! The sunsets are picture perfect and as the night falls the whole of Melbourne unfolds into a sparkling carpet of diamonds, scattered across the horizon. SkyHigh Mount Dandenong has superb landscaped gardens, a modern curved function space and a private viewing deck designed to showcase the breathtaking views. Our professional staff and contemporary menus ensure that dreams do come true! Testimonial Firstly... Thank you soooo much for EVERYTHING you did to make our day full of special memories! The room looked absolutely stunning - it was perfect! We couldn t have asked for anything more. You and your staff were so welcoming and extremely helpful. All our guests were utterly impressed with the entire day/night. They loved the venue, being so diverse they could go out onto the balcony for fresh air without feeling like they re stuck in the back alley. It didn t matter where they went, whether it be the reception room, balcony or gardens - they still had an amazing view. They loved the extra touches, such as all the staff surrounding the table during meal times and serving each guest on the table at the same time. Every guest commented on this. It made them feel special. They loved that you took charge, and made sure everything was perfect. You made everyone feel so welcome and at ease, it was just another reason for them to fall in love with the place. Please give a big thank you to your chef, again all the guests commented on the divine food served. They all LOVED the canapés stating that each single one tasted insanely awesome and they loved the variety. All our guests stated it was the best wedding they ve ever been to. They had an absolute ball. We couldn t have achieved this without the team at Sky High. Samantha & Matt King
