What Falls Under Party Services

Booking the room is only half the job. The rest is people: someone to cook, someone to dress the tables and hang the flowers, someone to film the vows or write the ceremony, and someone with a camera catching the speeches. Those are the businesses grouped on this page, and almost all of them will travel to any Melbourne region, from Bayside up to the Northern Suburbs.

Food is priced either per head or per spread. Neale's Spit Roast Catering starts from $23 per person, Big Flavours from $27 per person and Catering By Chefs from $39 per person, while Happy Belly Grazing lays out grazing tables from $450. Going Gourmet and Complete Catering Co both run canapés, seated menus and food stations, and Mamalyn Catering brings a Vietnamese buffet with halal and vegan choices. On the flower side, Little Stag Floral Couture does bridal bouquets from $300 and Urban Antidote designs sculptural installations from $3,000, with Blooming Events, from $740, covering the South East.

Weddings bring in two more trades. Celebrants such as The Stellarbrant (from $550), Melbourne Cityside Celebrant (from $605) and Alana Tran Celebrant (from $1,199) write and lead the ceremony, and filmmakers like Film My Wedding, ENA Wedding Films and Artistic Films record it. For birthdays and work functions, Moment 2 Moment Event Photography starts from $350 and Matt Hrkac Photography from $385.

Questions that sort a shortlist quickly:

  • Does the quote include delivery, set-up and pack-down, or just the product?
  • Which dietary needs can the caterer plan for – vegan, gluten-free, halal?
  • How many hours does the photographer or videographer cover, and when do the files arrive?
  • Will the celebrant bring a PA and microphone to an outdoor ceremony?
  • Is the florist or stylist working with fresh flowers or silk?

Once the date and headcount are fixed, enquire with two or three suppliers in each trade at once. Specialists are listed separately under caterers and event stylists.
