What to look for

Love the setting. Check the logistics.

01

The true usable capacity

A room may hold your guest count on paper but feel very different once the dance floor, band, bar and service paths are in place.

02

What the fee really includes

Compare furniture, staffing, security, cleaning, ceremony setup, AV and minimum spend alongside the headline hire fee.

03

A plan B you genuinely like

Melbourne weather can turn. Walk through the wet-weather ceremony, photo locations and guest movement before you commit.

Good to know

Straight answers for the shortlist stage.

When should we book a Melbourne wedding venue?+

For a specific Saturday, region or venue style, many couples begin 12 to 18 months ahead. Fridays, Sundays, winter dates and shorter engagements can open more options.

How do we compare venue quotes fairly?+

Calculate the same scenario for each venue: your likely guest count, required food and beverage, ceremony, staffing, furniture, security, cleaning and any compulsory suppliers.

Should we choose a venue before other vendors?+

Usually yes. The venue fixes the date, capacity, location and many supplier rules, which shapes the rest of the team and budget.

Can PickWed help before all venues are live?+

Yes. Your brief preserves capacity, location, setting and must-haves so suitable verified venues can be assessed against the same criteria as they go live.
