What Falls Under Party Services

A celebration around Corio Bay usually means pulling several people together: someone to feed the room, someone to record it, someone to dress it and, for a wedding, someone to marry you. The suppliers on this page come to you, so the venue you pick decides how much you need to bring in.

Where to start depends on the kind of event you are planning:

  • A wedding on the Bellarine or down the Surf Coast: secure the celebrant and photographer early, since summer weekends on the coast fill first, and ask each one about travel to the venue.
  • A farm, barn or private property: you will need a caterer who brings staff and equipment, plus furniture and a marquee in case the wind or rain arrives.
  • A corporate night on the Waterfront or in the CBD: an event stylist can theme a gala room, and a video crew can film the speeches or the expo floor.
  • A backyard birthday in Newtown or Grovedale: a canapé or grazing caterer and a coffee van crew look after most of what guests need.
  • A small elopement on the Great Ocean Road: several celebrants and photographers here offer micro weddings and short legals-only ceremonies.

Most of these suppliers cover the city and its northern and southern suburbs, while fewer list the Moorabool Valley, so raise travel costs early if your event is out among the cellar doors and farms to the west.

Five things to settle before a deposit

  • Is travel to the Bellarine, the Surf Coast or the Moorabool Valley in the quote, or added on top?
  • If an outdoor plan meets a strong wind or a wet afternoon, is there a marquee, an indoor room or a later start to fall back on?
  • Can the caterer work without a commercial kitchen at a farm, barn or private home?
  • How far ahead does the celebrant need the marriage paperwork lodged?
  • Who is the contact on the day, and what time do they arrive to set up?

Frequently Asked Questions About Party Services

Which party suppliers should I book first for a Bellarine or Surf Coast wedding?

Start with the celebrant and the photographer, because coastal Saturdays in summer go first. Then line up catering and styling around what the venue already provides.

Do caterers and stylists travel out to the Moorabool Valley?

Some do, but fewer suppliers list the Moorabool Valley than the city, the Bellarine or the Surf Coast. Ask about travel charges before you compare quotes.

What do wedding and event services cost around Corio Bay?

Celebrants on this page start from $500, wedding photography and film from $1,950 and florals from $3,000. Caterers and stylists price each event separately.

Can I hire a coffee van for a workplace function in the CBD?

Yes, one catering crew runs vintage and modern coffee vans with baristas for work functions, weddings and private parties.

How should I plan for the weather at an outdoor party on the coast?

Wind and quick changes are part of life on the Bellarine and the Surf Coast. Ask suppliers what they need if the event moves under a marquee or indoors, and budget for heaters once the sun goes down.
