The Extra Costs

---

You might have noticed at the bottom of each package page the little disclaimer about how Kiva Jane Weddings pricing can vary. Factors like distance from Melbourne, guest list count, or, for the Partial Planner, the number of aspects you need us to plan, can all affect this. At Kiva Jane Weddings, we take pride in our transparency, ensuring you have all the information necessary for making an informed decision about choosing us. Here’s everything you need to know about how this works!

**Wedding Distance Charges:** $0.50/km

We're more than happy to travel out to rural Victoria for your wedding—rural venues are often some of the most beautiful! For destinations that are 2 hours from Melbourne CBD or less, there are no additional wedding distance charges. However, if your wedding location exceeds this distance, we do apply a charge to cover petrol and our labour.

**Accommodation Fees:** Negotiable based on location

For any celebrations over 2 hours from Melbourne CBD, it’s impossible for us to be there from start to finish for you without staying close by. To ensure safety and efficiency, there may be an accommodation fee for 2 nights: the night before to ensure we’re fresh and ready for your big day, and the night of to rest after a long day. This accommodation charge will be tailored to each event based on average rates for basic and clean stays in the area.

**Large Guest Count Fee:** $50 per additional person

When your wedding has a large guest count exceeding 150 people, this leads to increased expectations and additional work. As a result, we’ve created a large guest count fee. There’s no extra charge for weddings with fewer than 150 guests. On average, weddings host between 70-100 guests, so the additional fee should only impact a few couples, but it’s necessary to cover the extra work involved in planning large guest lists and the need for additional staff on your big day, especially when dealing with invitations, RSVPs, and catering. The maximum guest count we can organize for is 200.

**Consultation Without a Package:** $80/h

For all our wedding packages, we offer unlimited meetings to discuss your plans and logistics at no extra cost. However, some couples may just need advice or reassurance rather than full coordination or planning services. We provide an hourly rate for those individuals looking for guidance on their plans. Let us help give you peace of mind that your day will go smoothly.

**Partial Planner Pricing:** Customised

Providing specific pricing for the Partial Planner package is challenging due to its custom nature. Generally, if you seek services similar to our Full Package, you can expect your final pricing to reflect that. Conversely, if you require less assistance, the costs will align more closely with the base pricing. The final figure will depend largely on the extent of work required, as smaller tasks will incur lower fees compared to more intensive responsibilities, so keep that in mind.
