Questions, answered properly

For peak-season Saturdays, six to twelve months is sensible. Most dates are comfortable at three to six months. That said, we do hold last-minute availability and short-notice bookings under six weeks are often possible — it costs nothing to ask.

A 30% deposit secures your date, with the balance due 14 days before the event. We hold a quoted date for five business days while you decide, then release it. For bookings more than three months out we are happy to split the balance into monthly instalments.

Approximately 3m × 1.5m of level floor for the bar itself, plus around 1.5m of clearance in front for guests to queue. If your package includes the arched display wall, allow a further 1.2m × 0.6m alongside it.

Yes — one standard 10amp outlet within five metres of the bar, for the illuminated signage and shelf lighting. If your venue cannot provide that, tell us and we will bring a battery unit instead at no extra cost.

Under full cover, yes. We cannot place the bar in direct sun, exposed to rain, or on soft or uneven ground — the fragrances degrade in heat and the unit needs a level base. A marquee, verandah or covered terrace is fine.

Around 90 minutes before guest arrival, and roughly 45 minutes to pack down at the end. We arrange access times directly with your venue so it does not become something you have to manage on the day.

Comfortably 40–50 per hour with one attendant. For guest lists above 150 we recommend The Maison package, which runs two attendants, or adding a second attendant to Signature.

10ml on The Petite and The Signature, 30ml on The Maison. You can upgrade Petite or Signature to 30ml bottles for $6 per guest.

Our standard formulations are alcohol-based eau de parfum. Alcohol-free versions of the full collection are available at no extra charge, but they are produced to order — please request them when booking rather than on the day.

A full ingredient and allergen list for every fragrance is displayed at the bar and we can send it to you beforehand to share with guests. All fragrances are blended to IFRA guidelines for skin application. We recommend guests patch-test before applying broadly.

Yes. We hold public liability insurance and can provide a certificate of currency on request — we are happy to send it directly to your venue, which is usually what they need.

Yes, throughout regional Victoria. Travel within 50km of the Melbourne CBD is included in every package. Beyond that it is $1.20 per kilometre return, quoted upfront as a fixed figure. Bookings over 150km may require overnight accommodation.

Yes. Floral styling is restyled for every booking and colour-matched to your palette, and signage and label typography can follow your stationery. Send us your mood board when you enquire.

Deposits are non-refundable but fully transferable to a new date within 12 months, subject to availability. Cancellations inside 14 days of the event forfeit the balance paid. If we ever have to cancel on you, you receive a full refund including the deposit.
