Frequently asked questions

How much should I expect to spend?

Venue hire at Maroon Hill Estate starts from $11,700. Most couples spend an average of $35,000–$90,000 on their wedding here, including catering, bar, styling and other vendors. Having full control over your vendors means you can tailor your day to your own vibe and budget.

Do I need to have a formal sit-down reception?

No. Many couples choose relaxed cocktail-style receptions outdoors. Popular options include wood-fired pizza, roving canapés, food trucks or shared platters.

Who provides alcohol?

Maroon Hill is BYO-friendly. You supply your own drinks and we recommend serving through a professional bar service. All alcohol must be served by RSA-certified staff.

What vendors do I need?

Most couples choose: catering, celebrant, drinks service, styling and florals, DJ and/or live band, photographer and often videographer, and transport or additional hire items. We’ll send you our list of recommended suppliers.

Do we need a wedding coordinator?

Yes, it’s an important part of having a great wedding. An uncoordinated wedding is… well, uncoordinated. This is why on-the-day coordination is included in all our packages.

Your coordinator runs the timeline, directs vendors as they arrive, manages the flow of the day through speeches and dances, and handles anything that comes up — so you’re not fielding questions in your wedding clothes. If you’d rather engage your own independent coordinator or planner, you’re very welcome to.

Why don’t you provide food and drinks?

We choose not to include food and drinks in our packages so that you have the ultimate freedom in curating your day. You can create your own wedding festival with food trucks and dessert carts outdoors, or make things formal with an indoor five-course dinner. All our couples are different, and their weddings should be too.
