People often begin planning their event, only to become quickly overwhelmed with the many choices and price points on offer. Sadly, they often overspend their budget by two to three times what they had originally hoped to spend (and could afford).

The Event Depot concept originated from our Melbourne based Store (The Wedding Depot); which began as a local one stop shop for those planning Weddings along the Mornington Peninsula and Bayside region of Victoria. The key philosophy being a fun, efficient way to plan a wedding and control the budget.

Our growth and expansion provided clarity on the need for a broader industry solution to fill a huge gap in the events industry.

What about Venues and Vendors?

Simultaneously we also seek to ease the workload for venues (especially those hard-working function managers out there) and provide greater transparency, equity and security for vendors.

Instantly connecting those looking for stylish and reliable vendors with the right businesses eliminates much of the back and forth process of requesting, preparing and negotiating on packages and costings from all sides. Improving the fundamental back end working of the industry itself (from both a venue and vendor perspective).

Our aim remains to provide a simple streamlined process, facilitating easy planning from start to finish for all parties.
