You'll find afternoon tea venues in various sizes, from smaller spots to larger venues; keep in mind that the type of space and your chosen layout will affect the capacity! Below you can see the typical venue sizes in Melbourne, together with the standard prices in each size range, based on Tagvenue data (October 2025):

Small afternoon tea venues up to 45 guests prices average $800 minimum spend per event
Medium afternoon tea venues between 60 and 80 guests prices average $2500 minimum spend per event
Large afternoon tea venues over 110 guests prices average $4000 minimum spend per event

The main difference is the timing and type of food: high tea is a bigger meal later in the day, while afternoon tea is a lighter, mid-afternoon treat. In Australia, high tea is like a hearty dinner enjoyed in the evening, with dishes like meat, bread, and veggies. On the other hand, afternoon tea is a lighter, more social event in the late afternoon, featuring finger sandwiches, scones, and pastries with tea.
