Prices

Geelong Receptions’ prices are for a Food package combined with a Drinks package.
If you only require an individual service price (i.e. Food only or Drinks only), we are happy to provide a separate quote for you. All listed prices are GST inclusive.All Food and Drinks menus are provided as a simple indication of what is typically supplied according to guests' predicted preferences. However, if you would like to modify anything we are happy to work with you to provide your personalised requirements e.g. different foods, pig on a spit, finger food, BBQ or table service etc.
Generally meals are served by our staff as guests come to the food serving areas and drinks are served from our bar area, or table servcie can be provided. Ample food is served so no-one goes hungry!
We have 5 standard Food packages and 3 standard Drinks packages; however please note that we can be reasonably flexible to meet your special needs. Finger food prices start at $11.00 per guest and seated sytle food starts at $25.00 pre guest.
Food table service is an additional $4.00 per guest; Drinks table service is an additional $4.00 per guest, or $7.00 for both Food and Drinks table service.
Table service is included in the price for the “Alternating" dinner style menu of your choice such as Chicken Kiev, Veal & Chicken Schnitzels, hot veggies etc.
We will also tailor a menu to your special needs and budget. You may want a special ethnic style menu which we may be able to include.

  • Venue Fee

    Each venue has its own fee to cover the costs of the included items described on each of the “Wedding Receptions” and “Functions” pages.
    For example, the standard "Pettitt Park" venue fee currently is $400 and the "Geelong West Town Hall" venue fee is $1,000. When this cost is spread over the number of guests, it is actually a minor cost that removes all the stress and effort out of arranging your own venue and all that needs to be done to make your special night a memorable occasion.
    Venue fees can vary so we will advise the appropriate price at the time of providing your quote e.g. the Pettitt Park venue fee may be significantly reduced if the function is a simple event that can be started and completed on the same day or the Geelong West Town Hall venue could be significantly reduced for a large scale function.
    Apart from the venue fee, all that is required now is for you to select a suitable food package combined with a suitable drinks package.
