A Saturday function in Bendigo typically has a minimum spend of $1,500, which is the midpoint across the 3 spaces here that set one. The average works out at $1,700. About 67% of them also carry a hire charge, and where there is one it usually brings the minimum spend down rather than adding to it.
| Saturday | Lowest | Midpoint | Highest | Spaces |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum spend | $1,350 | $1,500 | $2,250 | 3 |
| Hire charge | $150 | $200 | $250 | 2 |
| Day | Typical hours | Usual start | Usual finish |
|---|---|---|---|
| Friday | 7 | 6pm | 1am |
| Saturday | 7 | 6pm | 1am |
Ranges from 5 hours at the short end to 7 at the long end. Going past the guaranteed finish usually costs extra.
None of the 3 spaces in Bendigo charge for a security guard, so that cost doesn't apply here. 3 of the 3 will let you meet the minimum spend with a beverage package. Every one of them accepts a bar tab. Costs outside the venue quote usually include DJ hire, entertainment, specialised catering and decorations.
All 3 spaces in Bendigo include a bonus bar tab when you enquire through Partystar. That's 1 at $100 and 2 at $50. The venue adds it to your bar on the night once you meet its stated requirement, which is either the hire charge, the minimum spend or the minimum guest numbers. See how the bonus bar tab works for the full detail.
Mostly not. 1 of the 3 spaces that set a minimum spend have no hire charge at all. The 2 that do charge run from $150 to $250 for a Saturday.
Food, drinks or both, depending on the venue. At a lot of venues drinks alone will cover it, and the venue's own listing says which applies. See how minimum spend works.
