FAQ

We’d love to show you around! To book a guided wedding tour, simply give us a call or send us an email and we’ll find a time that works for you.

To help us get your tour booked, please include the following details:

  • When are you looking to get married? (Month & year)
  • What are your anticipated guest numbers?
  • What is your (and you partner’s) full name?
  • What is the best contact number for you on the day?


Once we have these details, our weddings team will be in touch to arrange your tour and answer any questions you may have.

Our tours take approximately 30 - 45 minutes, including time for questions and discussing potential date options.

Absolutely. From the moment your ceremony begins, Boat O’Craigo is exclusively yours.

 

That means no venue guests wandering through your ceremony, no unexpected visitors appearing in the background of your photos, and no strangers sharing the space while you celebrate. From your walk down the aisle through to the last dance, the estate is yours to enjoy with your favourite people.

 

It gives you the privacy and freedom to relax into the day, knowing that every moment — and every photo — is all about you.

No change to your plans — and no change to your ceremony location! From your ceremony through to canapé hour and your reception, all of our wedding spaces are covered, so you can enjoy your day without worrying about the weather.

The Pavilion transitions beautifully in wet weather, with drop-down blinds, heaters and fans available to keep everyone comfortable. So whether it’s sunshine, showers or a little bit of everything, your celebration can continue seamlessly from one space to the next.

Our 2027 and 2028 calendars are open for booking!

FYI: We have some amazing dates still available in the first half of 2027!

If you have a particular date, month or season in mind, get in touch with our weddings team and we can let you know what’s currently available.

Found a date you love? We also offer a seven-day tentative hold, giving you a little time to make your decision without needing to make a payment upfront.

We know weddings aren't simple, but we like to keep the pricing as simple as possible! Your wedding cost is made up of our per-person package price + the venue hire fee. A minimum number of guests applies, depending on your chosen date. Our highest minimum is 100 guests for Friday and Saturday weddings, while midweek weddings are available from 50 guests.

For example:

  • A 100-person weekend wedding in 2027 (Friday to Sunday)
    $24,000 for the package + $4,000 venue hire = $28,000.

  • A 50-person midweek wedding in 2027 (Monday to Thursday)
    $12,000 for the package + $2,500 venue hire = $14,500.


Note: We can host up to 150 guests for a seated reception.

Of course, there are also some optional enhancements available — hello, cocktails! ?? — including the option to add a one-hour venue extension. These are completely optional, and you don’t have to decide on any of them now. Nothing additional is mandatory.

Want to see what’s available? Reach out to our weddings team for our current enhancement price list.

We can't thank you enough for bringing our dream day to life!! As you know I work in events so was incredibly anxious about letting go of the reins for the day but you felt like the safest set of hands and I couldn't be more grateful. We also received so many compliments about you and the team from our guests who said how lovely and kind and organised you were. We couldn't recommend Boat O'Craigo more. Thank you again!

Chloe & Sam, thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! It was such a privilege to be part of your beautiful day, and especially meaningful knowing how much trust it took for you, Chloe, to hand over the reins given your own experience in events. We’re so glad you felt completely looked after and could relax and enjoy every moment. Hearing that your guests also felt so welcomed and cared for means the world to our whole team. Thank you for choosing Boat O’Craigo — we loved celebrating with you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness! 🤍

They were so impressed with your professionalism and how smoothly you led the day. Thomas(mc) said you are absolutely phenomenal!! Thanks again for everything! We truly appreciate it.

September 2026

Dylan and I wanted to send a MASSIVE thank you to you and the entire Boat O’Craigo team for hosting the wedding of our dreams. We truly can’t put into words how incredible the day was and we honestly couldn’t fault a single thing. The service we received throughout the entire experience was absolutely 10/10. A special shoutout to Fred and Alex (bartender) for being amazing, as well as the entire team on the night for going above and beyond (even when it meant clearing the soda water off the local supermarket shelves on the night lol) - please extend our thank you. The whole team was so accommodating, friendly, and fun, and we genuinely couldn’t have asked for anything more. Our guests have all shared glowing feedback, not only about the stunning venue and delicious food, but also about the exceptional service and the atmosphere you created for our wedding. Thank you to you as well for being so attentive, friendly and responsive throughout the planning process, and for helping bring our day to life just as we imagined it! Thank you again - we are so glad we chose Boat O’Craigo and couldn’t recommend it more highly. Kind re

Wedding Venue Hunt - Goulburn Valley Area

Hi! I’m looking for a wedding venue near Shepparton (happy to travel 60 minutes from Shepparton). Our budget is roughly $12,000 (amazing if lower!) all up for food, drinks and ceremony for max 50 guests.

Boat O’Craigo

Good morning,

We're located in Healesville, approximately two hours from Shepparton, and offer midweek weddings (Monday to Thursday dates) for 50 guests for $13,250 (2026 dates). Inclusive pricing - food, free-flowing beverages, venue hire (ceremony, canape hour and reception), plus some beautiful styling items. All you really need to add is a touch of floristry! Feel free to reach out if this is something you are considering - understand the distance is a little further than you'd like (but it's worth the drive)!
