Alcohol:

If you are looking to DIY your wedding then work out what you expect to consume based on the number of guests and your budget then fax or email this for a quote to local hotels, you may be surprised at the difference in quotes, Be sure to check the brands quoted, you also may be able to save some money by substituting some brands for a less expensive brand. Don't forget to calculate into your purchasing decision delivery and setup (if you want kegs) plus the tidy up.

Some hotels may even provide you with a bar person if you purchase everything from them.

Don't be scared to consult "the boys" or even delegate this to them as they have that way with "mate, mate, mates rates" as well as you may find that many of your fiancees friends are MORE than willing to throw in.

We are not beyond a BYO wedding in Australia, your guests are there to celebrate with you NOT send you broke, BUT there is a significant advantage to ALL to buy from the one location.
