Is it likely our wedding quotes could change because of the cost of living?

We are starting to get prices for our wedding reception, for our wedding that's 18 months away. If we make a booking and pay a deposit, is the price guaranteed, given the cost of everything keeps going up?

If you have paid your deposit and signed all contacts you should not be charged any more.

All venues will have their own policies and T's and C's. At SkyHigh, we give you a quote and once the date holding payment and booking agreement has been signed, we honour the price per person until the day of you wedding.

Congratulations on your engagement!

Most venues will have clauses written into their contracts specifying their policy on increases to pricing. With Tiffany's Maleny, our contracts will stipulate the agreed upon price for that wedding within that year, with a clause to state that if needed we are able to increase the per head price if required. We have annual increases to try and cover these expected rises in cost of living and produce/goods, which are agreed upon at booking. It is rare that we would have to raise the price outside of these increases, unless a significant unforeseen increase in goods occurs, in which case you would be notified and we would attempt to work out a solution with you.

Hopefully this helps. Every venue and contract is different. So it would be best to consult with your chosen venue to discuss this if it is a concern you have.

All the best with your planning and your day. And if you haven't already confirmed a venue, we would love to assist you in making your wedding dreams come true!

Yes we say in our T&C that the food cost for any booking more then 12months out may be subject to change due to CPI increases.

Hi there, 

Thank you for contacting us.  Our current pricing is valid until the end of 2024 however we can provide you pricing for a 2025 wedding which will be guaranteed once the deposit has been paid to confirm the date.

Please contact us if you would like to make an appointment to discuss your wedding and view the Nepean Belle.
