The marquee set up with long tables during the day

Budget Planner

What would your day actually cost?

Adjust every figure to match your own quotes. You bring your own caterer and drinks, with no corkage.

There are two tools here: a budget calculator, and further down, a to-scale marquee layout that shows how your guest count fills the room. Catering and drinks are usually the two biggest costs, and you set both. Neither tool is a quote from us.

Our four most-booked caterers range from $80 to $100 per head. Adjust to match your own quotes.

Based on what couples typically spend pre-ordering through Dan Murphy's, delivered to our cold room. You buy your own, and we don't charge corkage.

Optional extras

Only available above 150 guests. The standard 10m × 25m marquee fits up to 150.

Your estimated total

Venue hire is our published price. The catering and drinks figures are estimates you can change, and the real costs will come from the suppliers you choose. See our recommended suppliers.

How this compares

Estimated from published 2027 and 2028 package pricing at comparable venues in the region, for the same year, day and guest count, with each venue's own drinks packages and guest minimums. Package prices usually include bar staff, linen and glassware, and some include a night's accommodation. These are estimates, not quotes.

Lay out the marquee

Enter your numbers to see a to-scale plan of the marquee: where the tables sit, how much dance floor is left, and where the band and bar go.

Treat this as a starting point. You can arrange the marquee however suits your day, and we'll work through the final floor plan with you.
