What does the Woodlands deal cost?

For 50 guests it’s $3,350 + GST, normally $5,715. That covers venue hire, Kerr & Ladbrook catering at $51pp + GST (food only) and seven premium extras worth $2,365. Final cost depends on guest numbers and menu choice; beverages, bar and staff are quoted separately.

How do we secure our date?

Enquiring is completely free, with no payment and no commitment. When you’re ready to go ahead, a 20% deposit secures your date. Normal cancellation terms apply.
