Really easy to work with, really tried to give you as much as they can. Didn't have to get to stressed out, if there was an issue I just had to call once and it would be sorted. Everything was covered from food, drinks to decorations.

How do venues cater to children and teens?

I have some kids (under 10) and then 8 cousins in their teens. I'm not sure where the wedding is yet (open to anywhere in Aus), but they make up a large portion of my guests so I don't want them to feel bored! Can venues supply mocktails for them so they can feel part of it and party with us? Should I be asking about kids rooms or somewhere where I can set up an xbox or netflix or something for them to do? Should I hire some games?

The Grand Ballroom

At The Grand Ballroom we offer two children's menus and like to see children at weddings as its almost becoming a thing of the past.

We have plenty of area for children, we can offer a separate supervised area for children under 10 we can even provide them with foxtel (extra charge apply), the teenagers will be fine mingling with other guests.

What kinds of things should I consider when booking a venue?

Also, what is the normal deposit amount? Because one venue said 50% to secure the date but that seems large..

The Grand Ballroom

Find out how many function rooms they have as if they have more than 2 it will leave you wondering which event will they do better.

Deposits can vary any were from $1000 to $4000 depending on how may guests you have.
