Catering, included in the wedding package or not, is arguably one of the biggest spendings in your budget.

That is why a lot of couples decide to choose self-catering wedding venues in Melbourne to cut down on expenses, while also adding more exclusivity and uniqueness to their wedding.

While this option contains both advantages and disadvantages, and you should definitely spend extra time thinking through it before making the final decision, it is totally possible to do self-catering.

You will nonetheless need meticulous planning and a huge help from family and friends to accommodate all the people that will attend your wedding. Don’t forget to ask your guests if they have any preferences or allergies.
