Good afternoon and CONGRATULATIONS on your Engagement!
Depending on the time of the year and even the day that you choose, will determine the cost of the overall wedding. We can offer discounts during certain times of the year being April - September which can substantially help with bringing the costs down a bit for you. I would be happy to set up a time to chat with you to go through your requirements and we can see what we can do for you also.
Please contact me at your convenience.

Congratulations on your engagement !!
It will depend on the number of guest you would like to have on your special day and also the food & beverage package that you would like to provide.
We always ask our couples what is their dream wedding and how much they ideally would like it to cost. We then go back and work out if we can meet their budget, if yes then Happy Days!
In the case we cannot we would make a few changes and suggestions for you to have a think about, if we are your preferred venue we would continue working on your proposal until we reach a happy agreement :)
CONGRATULATIONS! :) How exciting...
It really depends on how many guests you're expecting to invite and what style of wedding reception you like - it obviously makes a big difference whether you'll have a small-ish wedding with 50 guests or a rather large one with around 150 guests. The cost per guest can be anyway from $40 for just food up to $200 per person for nice food and a drinks package - saying that, upwards is obviously no limit.
I would recommend to staret by thinking about how much you want to spend and then compare venues and locations.

Congratulations on your engagement!
Exciting times ahead of you!
I believe your first step is to figure out a rough number of guests and how much $ per head you are willing to spend, as you have to consider on top of that, a range of things such as venue costs, ceremony costs, wedding dress, celebrant etc.
Or better yet try find a venue that includes some of those extras, which makes it less stressful on yourself, and also gives you an accurate pricing early on in the wedding planning.
We offer a white diamond package which includes the room hire, either a buffet or formal sitdown wedding. Our package also inc;ludes a dj, celebrant, wedding cake, garden or chapel hire for your cermony, photographer, staff for service, setup and cleanup.
This package really helps our brides and also relieves them of stress!
