The food was superb. Duarts did our canapes, entrees and Mains. The canapes were perfect with our after ceremony drinks and the Mains were delicious and great portions sizes, everyone was impressed and raving about the food for days after the wedding. They looked after our cake aswell and served it with cream and berries for our guests. Would definitely have duarts cater for us again.

Do venues charge more for weddings on Public Holidays?

HI All My partner and I are considering getting married on Monday 5/10/20, which is Labour Day in the ACT and NSW. We were wondering if the venue hire would be increased, or if vendors would increase their fees? I understand that many may just charge the weekend rate, which is fine, but I'm just checking. Thanks!

Hi Lauren

Thanks for your enquiry, we do not have extra fees/surcharge for public holidays or Sundays.

Cheers,

Nathan & Natasha
