Corkage & bar hire

How do the bar and corkage packages work?

A bar is completely optional: alcohol-free weddings are entirely normal here. If you do want one, there are three tiers. Yes, we can supply the drinks, or we can refer you to a specialist bar company.

Tier one

Essential

Corkage plus use of the bar facilities, so you can bring in the drinks you want.

Tier two

Classic

Everything in Essential, plus two bar staff to keep the drinks flowing.

Tier three

Signature

Everything in Classic, plus glassware: the fully looked-after option.

Optional upgrades

Which upgrades make the biggest impression?

We love a showstopping moment. Add any of these and your event manager will help you design them into the day.

Crystal chandelier

A sparkling centrepiece above your aisle, stage or dance floor.

Tiered front steps

A grand approach for entrances, photos and that first look.

LED dance floor

Light up the first dance and keep the party going all night.

Cold sparklers

A dramatic burst for your entrance, first dance or cake cutting.

LED side screens

So guests at the back see every moment, from vows to speeches.

Large LED screen

A 7m-wide screen for slideshows, live video, names and visuals.

Price-match promise

Is there a price-match promise?

Yes. Our price-match promise covers all of our packages and optional extras. If you've been quoted for a comparable package or upgrade elsewhere, show us and we'll talk it through.

Every wedding at Maher Centre is quoted individually and in writing, because no two are the same. What affects your quote:

  • Your date and day of the week
  • Your guest numbers and layout
  • Which banqueting and bar tiers you choose, if any
  • The upgrades you add
  • Whether you're booking more than one day, such as a mehndi or sangeet

Tell us a little about your plans and we'll send a clear written quote within one working day.

Catering, décor & DJ

Who provides the food, décor and music?

Maher Centre doesn't do in-house catering. Instead, you get the pick of an incredible network of partners, or the freedom to bring your own.

Our partner network

Caterers, decorators and DJs who know the venue inside out. After meeting you in person, the team recommends the partners best suited to your traditions, style and guest numbers. Fewer surprises, smoother set-up, calmer day.

Meet our approach to suppliers

The Partner Programme

Already have a family caterer, a favourite decorator or a DJ you trust? They're welcome. Tell us who they are and we'll bring them into our Partner Programme so they know the venue, timings and house rules before the day.

How the Partner Programme works
Good to know

What should we know before booking?

12 hours, all in

Your booking covers 12 hours including supplier set-up and pack-down.

Staging included

Staging comes with every hire, ready for your mandap, top table or stage photos.

No beef or pork

Beef and pork are not served on the grounds of the Maher Centre: reassuring for halal and vegetarian families.
