Wedding extras and special touches in Australia

What to ask before you book wedding extras

  1. Choose a photo booth that suits your reception

    There are a few kinds. A photographer-style booth is a photographer with a backdrop, roaming or in one spot, taking posed photos with prints. The enclosed booth is the classic. Then there are mirror booths, 360-degree platforms and booths in vintage caravans. Choose the one that suits your reception, rather than the one you have seen most online.

  2. An audio guestbook keeps messages in your guests' own voices

    Guests pick up a vintage telephone and leave you a message: a toast, a joke, some advice or their best wishes. You receive the recordings as files after the wedding. Some couples have one instead of a written guestbook and some have both, because a message in someone's own voice carries more of them than a line in a book. Set it up near the bar or the photo booth, where guests are already standing around.

  3. Check any send-off effect with your venue first

    Cold sparks look like sparklers without the heat or smoke, and suit many venues with ordinary ceiling heights. Outdoor sparklers and fireworks need space to cool down and the venue's approval, and a fireworks company can tell you what else your date needs. Petals suit most outdoor and many indoor venues, and biodegradable rice or dried-flower confetti looks better in photos than paper. Whatever you choose, check it with the venue before you book the vendor.

  4. Live painters and illustrators work while your guests watch

    A live painter works through the ceremony and reception and finishes a canvas of the day by the end of the night. A live illustrator works faster, drawing guests' portraits or caricatures as they go. Both give guests something to watch and give you something to keep. Tell the painter the moment you most want on the canvas (the vows, the first dance, the family photo), so the painting is built around it.

  5. Time the late-night food carefully

    A taco truck, a doughnut wall or a roaming canapé cart gives guests a lift when the dance floor slows, and gives the non-dancers somewhere to be. Too early and everyone is still full from dinner, too late and people have started going home. We time it for after dinner and the speeches, when the dance floor first slows.

  6. Choose bomboniere your guests will keep, eat or use

    Bomboniere are small thank-you gifts for your guests. A personalised keepsake (a magnet, an engraved coaster, a small print) or something to eat or drink (mini bottles, a jar of jam, biscuits) is more likely to go home with them than something purely decorative.

Common questions about wedding extras in Australia

How much do wedding extras cost in Australia?

Each is priced differently. Food trucks and dessert carts depend on your guest numbers and how long they serve, live painters and illustrators on the hours they work, and photo booths, audio guestbooks, cold sparks and send-offs on what the package includes. Ask each vendor for a written quote that says what is included and for how long.

Do most Australian weddings have a photo booth?

A photo booth is optional, and there are a few kinds: a photographer with a backdrop, roaming or in one spot; the classic enclosed booth; and mirror booths, 360-degree platforms and booths in vintage caravans. Choose the one that suits your reception.

What is a wedding audio guestbook?

An audio guestbook is a vintage telephone that guests pick up to leave you a recorded message: a toast, a joke, some advice or their best wishes. You receive the recordings as files after the wedding, and some couples have one instead of a paper guestbook, or as well. It is often set up near the bar or the photo booth, where guests are already standing around.

Can we have sparklers or fireworks at our wedding?

It depends on your venue, so ask it first. Cold sparks look like sparklers without the heat or smoke and suit many venues with ordinary ceilings (some couples have them for the first dance), and outdoor sparklers work for a send-off where there is space for them to cool. Fireworks need outdoor space and the venue's sign-off, so ask the fireworks company what approvals your date needs and who arranges them before you book.

Should we have bomboniere at our wedding?

Bomboniere are optional. If you do have them, a personalised keepsake or something to eat or drink is more likely to go home with your guests than something purely decorative, and an eco-friendly favour or a donation made in their name are other choices.

When should we plan late-night wedding food?

After dinner and the speeches, when the dance floor first slows and before guests start going home. Too early and people are still full, too late and the night is already winding down, so give the food truck, doughnut wall or dessert cart your run sheet and they can arrive at the right moment.
