What wedding venues in Victoria cost
Starting prices that Victorian wedding venues publish on their own websites, per person and for venue hire, and why most venues do not publish a price at all.
Most wedding venues do not put a price on their website. Of the 418 venues on Where I Do, 90 publish a starting price, which is about 22 per cent. This guide sets out what those 90 say, and how to read the numbers.

- $150middle starting price per person (54 venues)
- $4,300middle starting price for venue hire (36 venues)
These are starting prices that venues chose to publish. They are not averages for the whole market, and a venue that lists a price is not necessarily cheaper or dearer than one that does not. Always confirm the current price with the venue.

Per person prices
54 venues quote a price per guest. The lowest published starting price is $58 per person and the highest is $299, with the middle of the range at $150. A per person price usually covers food and drinks, and sometimes the room. What is included varies a lot, which is why two similar figures can mean different things. See per person or venue hire for how to compare them.

Venue hire prices
36 venues quote a hire fee or minimum spend for the whole venue. These run from $500 to$18,800, with the middle at $4,300. The spread is wide because a hire fee can mean anything from an empty hall for a few hours to a whole estate for a weekend. Food and drinks are usually on top.

When there is no price
The other 328 venues show "Price on enquiry" on Where I Do. That is not a sign of an expensive venue. Many price by season, day of the week and guest numbers, and prefer to quote once they know your date. We never estimate a price for a venue that has not published one.
When you do ask, go in with a list. Questions to ask a wedding venuecovers what to check so the quotes you get back can be compared fairly.
