We suggest booking an initial consultation so we can chat you through how each venue works!
We understand how important it is to find the perfect fit for your day, this is why we offer an online consults to talk you through how it all works, each Venue is unique. We offer Tuesday evenings weekly to chat with couples outside of business hours.

It varies at each Venue depending on the requirements. At a base level, we require a minimum spend, which includes your Reception, venue hire fee, Catering & Coordination. Creative Services such as Photography & Videography are an optional service with our team, although we highly recommend it for the full ever after experience... after all this was how it all started! Our coordination service provides our couples with assistance in the lead up to their day, starting at the 10 week countdown. Couples have a dedicated event coordinator for the lead up, finalising menu enhancements, floorplans, vendor management and on-the-day set up & pack down. Our Photography & Videography service includes 6 hour through to 12 hour coverage, with enhancements like 35mm film, second photographers, engagement or pre-wedding event photography. Cassandra has a team of associates that you do have the option to work with as well.
At Ever After Effect we don't go by timelines with this! It's truly up to you, we have had many couples book a mere 4-6 months in advanced and it has worked well. We have a team that can bring together a wedding from the 10 week lead up, including Photography with Cass. Most couples love to plan in advanced & it's normal for us to have 12-18 months of time. There's no right or wrong here... and there's nothing we can't do!
