An engagement party is often the first time both families share a room, so choose somewhere relaxed enough for mingling with a clear moment for the toast. Adelaide has engagement venues in almost every region: heritage pubs in the CBD and North Adelaide, inner-east corner hotels, seaside rooms at Glenelg, West Lakes and Semaphore, and Hills vineyards at Macclesfield and Verdun.
Caterers, DJs, stylists, marquee and furniture hire all take engagement bookings too, which makes a backyard party a real alternative.
What the money buys:
Engagements range from a casual Sunday afternoon to a full dinner dance, so settle the format first and the shortlist shrinks quickly. Hosting at home? See caterers, DJs and marquee hire.
Per-head menus run from $30 per person to $60 per person. Rooms on a minimum spend start at $500 minimum spend, with many at $1,000 minimum spend.

Yes. DJs, caterers, marquee and furniture hire, and backdrop firms all take home bookings. Most cover the metropolitan regions; check first if you are in the Hills or McLaren Vale.
Traditionally the parents of one or both partners host, but plenty of couples host their own. Agree who is paying before you book, as it shapes the venue and the guest list.
Spring and autumn are the safest bets for gardens and lawns. Summer needs shade, water and an indoor fallback for heatwave days, and winter is the wettest stretch.
It can be. A function boat on West Lakes runs at $750 per hour, minimum 2-hour charter, with catering packages and a fixed guest list.
