Once your engagement news is out, everyone you love will want to congratulate you—and let's be honest, and a party's a lot more fun than a phone call. An official engagement party is also the perfect time to introduce key loved ones (like your parents) who are about to be seeing a lot of each other—and possibly helping plan your wedding together—over the next few months (and years!).
On the lookout for the best engagement party venues in Melbourne? You've just found them! We've listed a wide choice of engagement party venues available for private hire. No matter if you're keen on a big boozy bash or a low-key, relaxed celebration, we're stoked to help you find just the perfect spot. So, why not have a look at our collection and see what Melbourne has to offer when it comes to engagement party venue.
The Venue
For a more casual affair, a family member's backyard or a public space like a park or a coastal wedding venue by the beach is a great place to host your event. For something more formal, a private dining room at a restaurant or small function venue is the perfect way to go.
According to our research, however, a budget of about $1,000 to $2,000 would be enough for an engagement party attended by mostly family, some relatives and close friends. If you want to price “per person,” then it's safe to budget $15 to $30 per person.
Traditionally, the engagement party is hosted by the bride's parents, but friends of the bride and groom and other relatives may want to organize the gathering as well. The couple may opt to have two or more parties: one for relatives and family friends, for instance, and another for their own friends.
Engagement parties typically consist of socializing, enjoying food and drinks, and a game or two. The goal of an engagement party is primarily for loved ones to say congratulations and give a personalized gift or engagement card. You'll want to make sure there's music, appetizers, and casual seating.

Tips for Hosting an Engagement Party Venue
Work with the couple to build the guest list.
Typically, all of the invited to the engagement party are also invited to the wedding. Make the guest list accordingly, so that there are no surprises for anyone down the road.
Decide gifts.
Decide ahead of time whether or not guests should bring gifts to the party for the couple. Gifts for an engagement party can be a source of confusion for guests. They often wonder about the etiquette regarding bringing gifts to an engagement party. To avoid messy situations, explicitly state "no gifts please" on the invitation OR list where the couple is registered. Either way, guests will know how to handle the gift situation.
Keep the decorations simple.
Flowers are perfect for a table centrepiece. Something as simple as sunflowers would add to this sunny occasion. Another nice touch...set up a table with framed pictures of the couple at various stages of their relationship.
Be prepared to give a toast at the party.
As the host, you should be prepared to welcome everyone and thank them for coming to share in the celebration of the couple's happy engagement. There may be other guests that are interested in making toasts. Try to find out ahead of time if others are interested in making engagement party toasts so you can allocate time.
Take lots of photographs.
As the host, you may be busy doing other things during the party, so delegate another guest to do it for you or leave disposable cameras out for people to take their pictures. You can also hire a professional photographer for a few hours to provide the photography for the engagement party.
