The size - Consider the number of people you’re inviting and find a location that can accommodate everyone.
Availability - Check to see if the venue is available on your preferred wedding date, especially if you're planning to get married during the peak season (which usually falls between October and April).
Services - Check what services, like catering or decorating, are included in venue hire fees. Some venues may offer all-inclusive packages that include these items; other venues will require you to arrange them yourself. If you have to arrange them yourself, ask if the venue has any trusted providers. This can help you find vendors who are already familiar with the space, which will make your planning process easier. They may also offer some discounts.
Location - Check whether your guests will not have any issues reaching the venue. Consider the transportation links and available parking space. Make sure the venue is also easily accessible for guests with mobility issues.
Cost - Consider your budget and ensure that the venue hire fee and any additional services fit within your budget. Ask for a breakdown of the costs and ensure that there are no hidden fees or charges.

How much does it cost to hire a wedding venue in South East Melbourne? We can answer that:
- Hire fee – This fee is usually only applied if you are planning on hiring an external catering company. For a small affordable wedding venue, you can expect to pay around $500 - $1000 in venue hire fees. This fee will either be for the entire day, half day or a set amount of hours, so be sure to clarify this before booking the venue. A dry hire is another option which allows you to bring in your own decor, furniture and catering. This could be an inexpensive solution if you have access to these services for free or reduced rates. Dry hire rates start at $595 for the wedding venue. Keep in mind you might also be liable for cleaning the venue after the event. Again, be sure to clarify the terms before booking the venue.
- Minimum spend – This is a common fee structure when hiring a restaurant venue or a pub with a function room. You are obliged to spend a minimum fee for food and drinks and a deposit might need to be paid in advance. Minimum spend fees in South East Melbourne start at $500 to $3,500 for small venues and $6,000 - $18,000 for larger spaces.
- Bespoke packages – Most function venues which cater for weddings offer bespoke package deals. There are various types of packages, some will be for food and beverages, while others might include things like chair covers, balloons, use of extra space, a DJ etc. A time limit might apply to certain bespoke wedding packages so be sure to clarify that before booking.
For cocktail packages, expect to pay $22 to $120 per person while a multi-course meal ranges from $50 to $195 per person. Most of the more expensive packages will include a bar tab and canapes, as well as other extras. Don’t be afraid to negotiate on the terms, especially if you have a tight budget.
