How to choose a wedding venue

Our tips for choosing a Melbourne wedding venue are focused on creating a great atmosphere and killer dance floor. In this blog we discuss what to consider when choosing your wedding venue.  We also answer this frequently asked question in the video below!

Sit down vs. cocktail

Think about the type of wedding you’re having. Is it a sit down or a cocktail? This may help you determine a space that’s appropriate.

Choosing your suppliers

Do you want to bring in your own suppliers? If you want more flexibility, it is important to ask your venue if they allow clients to bring in their own suppliers.

Keep everyone in one place

How far is the bar from the dance floor? The closer the bar is to the dance floor, the better. You don’t want to lose people for long periods of time while they duck out to get a drink.

Drinks on the d-floor

And finally, if you’re after a big party, make sure your venue allows people to bring drinks onto the dance floor!
