Engagement parties in Brisbane are usually looser than the wedding that follows: a private room at a pub, a courtyard with grazing boards, or a warehouse floor for a crowd that wants to dance. The guest list is often both families meeting properly for the first time, so pick a room where people can move around and talk.
Most couples choose a Saturday afternoon or a Friday night, and a couple of months is enough notice for most rooms.
Choosing the setting:
Add a photo booth from $799, a grazing spread from the caterers or a backdrop from party decorations. Thinking further ahead? The wedding reception guide covers the next step.
Canapé or grazing packages start from $20 per person and $24 per person, and some southside taverns set a private area at a $400 minimum spend.
Warehouse venues in West End and Albion and the larger Valley pubs suit a crowd that wants a DJ and a dance floor.
Yes. Riverside pubs in Toowong and Hamilton host engagement parties, and a private cruise can be chartered for a smaller group.
Allow a couple of months for a Saturday, and longer in spring or in the lead-up to Christmas, when work functions take many rooms.
Decorators and hire companies set up balloon arches, flower walls and backdrops across the Brisbane areas they cover. Ask whether delivery and pack-down are part of the quote.
