Enjoy the Savings
Abel Estate provides several cost-effective ways to enjoy a lakeside wedding without the price of a full-day celebration. Compact weddings, weekday dates, winter options and ceremony-only packages all offer a refined experience at a lower cost. The lakefront setting and pavilion layout make shorter or smaller weddings feel elegant rather than scaled-down, giving you a premium celebration while keeping your budget under control.
Bronze Menu Savings
Our Bronze buffet menu of familiar favourites from just $119 pp. Use a bar tab or cash bar for the drinks.
Weekday Weddings
Marry from Monday to Wedesday and save on venue hire, with lower minimum spends.
Compact Weddings
Five-hour weddings with a seated meal, half-price venue fee and lower minimum spends.
Small Weddings
Size matters when it comes to wedding costs. In fact, it’s the number one way to save.
Winter Weddings
As temperatures drop, so do prices. The biggest savings are June-August.
Pop-up Weddings
Ceremony + canapes and bubbles for 2.5-3.5 hours from $2,000. Visit our Pop-up website.
We were extremely happy with the look of the venue, especially after the recent remodel. And the cost fit perfectly within our budget, which was a significant factor.
We couldnt believe that a place as beautiful as Able Estate could be as affordable as it was. We booked a date and placed a deposit the same day we walked in.
Save With A Bronze Menu
By choosing the Bronze buffet menu you can have a classic 8-hour wedding, saving big on the per-person cost of food while enjoying dishes of familiar favourites.
As with our Silver menu, there’s no drinks package. If you want to pay for some or all of your guests’ drinks you can add a bar tab. Beyond that, a cash bar is available.
A number of couples elect to have the Bronze or Silver menu, with a bar tab for non-alcoholic drinks, for religious/cultural reasons or because few of their guests drink alcohol.
Weekday Weddings From $5,250
If you have your heart set on a full 8-hour wedding with ceremony and reception, this could be the answer you’ve been looking for.
By having your wedding on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, the minimum spend drops to $5.250 (2024/25) or $5,500 (2025/26). This weekday rate is available all year round, including summer peak season.
By selecting the silver reception package your weekday minimum spend can accommodate 20 guests in summer, 25 in winter. Extra guests cost from $169-$199 per person.
Ask our team to create you a personalised proposal with all the figures included.
Five-hour Compact Weddings
Enjoy a stylish wedding – the same as the full 8-hour version – except a little shorter and more affordable. A Compact includes seated dining and plenty of time for speeches in a 5-hour package with your ceremony and reception or just your reception. You choose how you’d like to use the time.
There’s no skimping on the food and drink, you can choose from our Silver, Gold or luxury Platinum menus and enjoy the full experience. It’s been known for real foodies to decide on a compact with a Platinum menu so they can have the best of wedding food within budget.
With a low minimum spend and half-price venue fee, Compact Weddings are perfect if you want to limit the overall cost with full dining included. See full pricing below.
