Wow. Wedding function fees can be insane.

Like... half my ideal budget insane. and well more than I planned for a dress or anything..

And that was before the cost of food or drink...yipes.

Can anyone recommend a cool old hall, or cafe that would do an awesome casual wedding maybe?

Surely I don't need to spend more than a $1k (!!) on just venue hire??

  1. How many people? Sit down dinner or cocktail-style? I've probably still got my short list of reception venues in a drawer somewhere. We aimed for 100 people sit down and I think we got catering, wine and AV equipment in the package.

  2. Probably around 70 people on my rough estimate.

    We're still mulling over the type, though we're erring towards either a sit down lunch or a high tea/afternoon tea deal. (I like the latter idea, but its dependant on the location).

  3. High tea sounds AWESOME. Alas, all the places I can think of that do that kind of thing are here in Melbourne :(
    We were looking at 100 or so people, so most of my short-listed venues will probably be too big/expensive. If any massive inspirations strike I'll let you know.
