Adelaide's most beautiful and iconic event and wedding venues has been voted the 2nd most beautiful library in the world!
Step into the Mortlock Library—Adelaide’s most breathtaking heritage venue—where timeless architecture meets contemporary event design. Whether you're planning a wedding, brand launch, or corporate function, Australian Hiring Company transforms this iconic space into a seamless experience of elegance and impact. Beneath soaring arches and iron-laced balconies, our curated furniture and expert event management bring your vision to life, blending historic grandeur with modern sophistication in one of South Australia’s most culturally significant settings.
The Mortlock Chamber frequently draws comparisons to Hogwarts from Harry Potter and its wonderful late Victorian architecture does have quite the spellbinding effect. Decorative railings run along balconies in the central atrium, while golden lantern-light illuminates its heritage wooden bookcases. The Mortlock Wing, dating back to 1884, is just one part of the State Library of South Australia.
Functions in the Mortlock Chamber are exclusively managed by Australian Hiring Company and complimented by the culinary excellence of Sprout Catering. Fill in the enquiry form below, live chat or contact us now to make an appointment onsite or in our studio. See also the Mortlock Insta.

Working with Andrew of Australian Hiring Co to bring our event to fruition was a seamless process.
From the initial brief to site inspection to the event itself, the attention to detail and ability to deliver was second to none.
We hosted one of our most prestigious corporate events at the Mortlock Chamber and I found Andrew and the team to be amazing to partner with and look forward to working together in the future.
"Law Australasia is like many organisations that are too big for a restaurant and too small for a conference centre.
Mortlock Chambers at the State Library was perfect. The venue does everything for styling with very little else required.
Each attendee has commented on the venue being the highlight of the Conference.
However, this doesn’t just happen. Working with Australian Hiring Company and Sprout made it so easy.
Spoilt by menu selections, and the food was fantastic. The set up and pack down was seamless. Every request was considered and the stress of the day was handled by AHC.
Definitely recommend this for your next dinner or function."
"We couldn’t imagine a more perfect space to celebrate our wedding than the Mortlock Chamber. When we first got engaged we set our sights on it, only to be disappointed that functions were no longer held there.
Thankfully our procrastination and a chance meeting meant that nearly a year later we discovered that functions would once again be held in the Mortlock and we were able to make the first booking.
The Mortlock Chamber is an incredibly beautiful venue, a jaw dropping arrival for guests and a versatile space that meant we could take our vows, do photos, eat, drink and hit the dance floor without having to leave the room.
Australian Hiring Company was able to take the worries off our plate, sorting out the venue details, working with us to plan the layout, furniture and lighting, and liaising with our other suppliers to ensure the whole event ran smoothly.
It was a fantastic event with definite wow factor."
"We had a wonderful experience at the State Library in the Mortlock chamber.
Andrew and the team at the Australian Hiring Company, combined with Sprout catering made a memorable that everyone really enjoyed.
They both really went above and beyond to make it very special. Thanks"
"Andrew and the Australian Hiring Co team gave us fantastic advice and assistance for our corporate Annual Dinner event.
Their attention to detail was exemplary and made a difference in the successful running of our event.
The Mortlock Chamber itself is an impressive venue, but Australian Hiring Co knew how to show it off in its best light". - AusIMM Adelaide Branch.
