A school formal in Melbourne has three moving parts: the arrival, the ballroom and the dance floor. The suppliers here cover all three, and nearly all of them travel across the city, so a formal in the east or the north has the same choice as one in the centre.
For the room, Vogue Ballroom in Burwood is a freestanding ballroom for 100 to 370 seated guests, with chandeliers, a mezzanine balcony and a dance floor measuring 10m by 10m. Manor on High in Epping has three ballrooms, each with a fixed dance floor, a lounge and a courtyard, with a minimum spend from $3,000.
The music decides how the night feels. Tim the DJ mixes live and plays saxophone over his own sets, with packages from $3,490. Entertainment First supplies DJs and MCs with full sound and lighting, plus a 360 booth, and Front Row Entertainment adds effects such as dry ice and CO2 guns run by a trained operator. Top Dog Entertainment books DJs, party bands and dance troupes.
