Do we cater for food allergies?

Yes, we most certainly do and our Head Chef takes food allergies very seriously. When making your choice of food for your wedding, we recommend to not cater for people with allerigies as the chef will ensure they get an entirely separate meal that is specifically prepared for them based on their dietary needs.

We would like to book the Trans Hotel Weddings for our reception. What is required to secure the date?

To secure your wedding reception with us we will require a 10% deposit of your minimum spend along with a signed version of our T & C's. This secures your reception up until 2-4 weeks out when we send off the final invoice, less your deposit, once final numbers are advised. This payment is due 7 days prior to your wedding reception.

Is there a venue hire fee?

No, we work off minimum spends. We always try ensure that the minimum spend allocated for your wedding is easily acheived based on your numbers, month in the year, day of the week, etc. If you are wanting to know what the minimum spend will be for your wedding, please do not hesitate to ask.

FAQ

Is there a Venue Wedding Co-Ordinator?

Yes, there is a venue coordinator. They will work with you to ensure everything runs smoothly on your special day and are there at any point you have questions regarding your wedding reception.

How long do you have to set up and clean up (i.e. bump in and out?)

At the earliest, you or your vendors will have access to bump-in from 9am the morning of your wedding reception. However, you are more than welcome to drop off any styling up to a week prior to this and we can keep it in our storage. We are very flexible with bump-outs and are happy to work with you or your vendors on when best suits everyone.

What will the Venue Wedding Co-Ordinator take care of for you?

The Venue Wedding Co-Ordinator will take of all the knity gritty that we don't want you stressing about. For example, finalising all the detials for the running of the reception approx. 6 weeks out from your wedding, contact your vendors a week out to organise bump-ins and bump-outs plus anything else they need from the venue, set the full table setting for your style of reception (i.e. sit-down, banquet, etc.), layout your place cards/bonboniers if applicable, light all candles and turn on any lighting that is apart of your styling, fully pack down all your styling at the end of the night, and plenty more.

Are you able to taste the menu?

Yes, if you decide to book with us, we organsie a full finalsation for the running of the recpetion approxiamtely 6 weeks out. Prior to the finalisation, we get you and your fiance to choose 3 entrees and 3 mains from our current seasonal menu that you will be able to taste while we finalise with you both. We can also do a wine tasting if you are unsure about what package you are wanting to go with.

Are there any other options besides a Beverage Package?

Yes, if you do not want to go with a Beverage Package you are more than welcome to have a Consumption Bar. There is just a minimum per head cost of $45.00 for this option. You can then customise your drinks menu to suit your idea of the perfect drinks menu for your wedding (for example, having spirits or cocktails available to your guests).

Nicolle and Ashley at the Transcontinental Hotel made sure our wedding reception was perfect. Not only is the venue stunning, the ladies made sure everything ran smoothly on the night. The food was delicious and the service was great. We would highly recommend having your wedding reception here.

'Book this hidden gem of a venue now! Ash, the events coordinator, was a such a bundle of fun to work with. There was never a moment I doubted she didn't have everything under control. The serving staff on the evening were without fault, professional and attentive at all times. The food was of the an exceptional restaurant quality, seriously delicious; with dietary issues a breeze to cater for. The space was a fantastic size for our gathering of 90 people, with lots of spaces for those wishing to rest there feet or to dance. Every guest we have spoken to has said it was one of the best receptions they had ever been to! Seriously consider this venue!

Honestly they were exceptional. Nothing was too hard for them. We just had the most amazing experience with them from the moment that we met them and until the wedding. They couldn't have done enough for us! We were so lucky to have found them! They're very talented and very experienced at what they do. The experience comes from Nicole and Ash has so much passion for the industry so it's just so amazing.

who cleans up the venue after the wedding?

Trans Hotel Weddings

It does vary depending on the type of venue you book for your ceremomy/reception. I would highly recommend to ask any venues you enquire with what the requirements for bumping-out are. Some venues may require you to remove any rubbish from their premise after your wedding. You will find that most dry hire venues ask you to clean up and pack down or they may charge a fee for this service. At venues that are all inlcusive, cleaning is generally apart of their hire/minimum spend. As an all inclusive venue ourselves, we can pack down our couples styling if they wish and will also remove any rubbish and clean the space after your wedding.
