The Grand on Princes is a family-run reception centre on the Princes Highway service road at Mulgrave, in Melbourne’s south-east. The building is art deco in style and has been refurbished: the grand ballroom has a parquetry dance floor, a sweeping staircase, chandeliers and a balcony, and holds 180 to 380 guests depending on the layout. There is a decorative garden with a gazebo, bridal and groom suites for getting ready, and an outdoor rooftop used for ceremonies.
Veri has photographed two weddings here. Zulfia and Muizz held their ceremony, portraits and reception at The Grand on Princes, and a second couple married and celebrated here in November 2016. The staircase and the balcony give the two frames that matter in a ballroom like this: the entrance from above, and the first dance seen from the same spot.
