HOW DO I BOOK
To book the property for a wedding, request a contract from our team, review and sign and send back with a $2,000 deposit. Email events@thelodgejamberoo.com.au to get a contract.
WHEN IS CHECK IN AND CHECK OUT
You can check-in by 3pm the first day and check out at 10am the last day. This gives you time for your hire equipment to arrive and be set up, as well as time after the event for everything to be set down and picked up.
IN HOUSE CATERING & DRINKS
We are not BYO for food or drinks at The Lodge. We have two full commercial kitchens and several bars around the property and you can email the team to get more information and specific quotes for food and beverage packages.
We also have a styling shed full of deco props for you or your stylist to use. This comes with no extra charge.
RSVP & PAYMENT METHOD
As our venue includes all accomodation, it is customary for your guests to pay their own accomodations costs, we’d recommend to use the website www.eventbrite.com.au for your RSVP & payment method. This is an easy and efficient way of inviting your guests and getting them to contribute to accommodation - which all comes off the overall fee at The Lodge.
