Choose Your Perfect Onboard Venue

Mildura Paddle Steamers features two beautiful vessels, each with its own style and flexible layouts to match your wedding vision. A dedicated event manager will work closely with you to ensure every detail is just right. Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony or a lively reception, there’s a space that fits your needs:

• The Paddle Vessel Rothbury: Licensed for up to 175 guests, it comfortably seats 60 at the rear and 40 at the front for a seated dinner. The layout can be adjusted to highlight your bridal table and create the perfect flow.
• The Paddle Boat Mundoo: Licensed for 180 guests, this vessel’s single upstairs dining lounge can host between 60 and 150 guests for a seated reception. It’s also ideal for cocktail-style celebrations with up to 180 guests.

What’s Included in Your Wedding Package

The wedding charter is designed as a seamless five-hour experience, including a four-hour cruise. This schedule allows 30 minutes for guests to board and another 30 minutes to disembark comfortably. Your package covers:

• Exclusive vessel hire with captain and full crew
• Professional bar staff
• Tables dressed with white tablecloths, cutlery, and crockery
• Speaker system with a roving microphone for speeches and announcements

Catering & Drinks Tailored to You

Both vessels are fully licensed, offering a well-stocked bar featuring local wines that celebrate the region’s finest produce. You can choose whether guests purchase their own drinks or set up a bar tab for added convenience. While catering isn’t provided in-house, you have the freedom to select your own trusted caterer—giving you complete control over the menu to perfectly suit your tastes and style.
