Give him a send-off the boys will never stop talking about.
You have been handed the most important job of the wedding: the bucks. No pressure, but the boys are counting on you. The good news? Melbourne is built for a big night, and the best bucks parties all end in the same place: a private room at The Men's Gallery, a line-up of shows and a groom who will be hearing about it for years.
This guide covers bucks party ideas in Melbourne, how to plan the night, our bucks packages and how to lock it all in. Want to skip ahead? Go straight to our Bucks and Functions page.
Bucks party ideas in Melbourne
The best bucks nights build momentum. Start the day strong and keep the energy climbing.
Kick off with something competitive. Go-karting, golf, a sports match or axe throwing gets the banter going early.
Feed the crew. A long lunch or big group dinner in the CBD sets the pace for the night ahead.
Pick a theme. Matching shirts, a dress-up for the groom or a running joke all add to the legend.
Save the best for last. The finale is what everyone remembers, so make it a big one. Book a private room and a show line-up at The Men's Gallery, and the night takes care of itself.
Planning the night
Timing
Six to eight weeks out. Lock in the date and share the plan with the core group.
Four to six weeks out. Confirm numbers and book your function. Weekends go fast.
Two weeks out. Send everyone the run sheet: times, addresses, dress code and a reminder to bring photo ID.
On the week. Reconfirm bookings and transport.
Group size
Our packages are built for groups of 10 or more. Smaller crew? Get in touch and the functions team will sort something out. Whatever the size, appoint one mate to keep time and one to keep the group together.
Budget
Agree a per-person budget early, then collect money upfront for the big bookings.
Decide early whether the group is covering the groom. Good news: the guest of honour gets in free on the night with every package.
Book before 9pm to get discounted entry for the group.
Our bucks packages
Every package is one or more shows in your own private room, and you choose the line-up from our show menu. Here is how they stack up.
Legend, $300. One hour, three shows. Choose any three of our Classic Shows. Simple, fun and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
Elite, $460. One hour, three shows. Two Classic Shows of your choice, plus our Girl-on-Girl show. A step up, and an easy one to say yes to.
Rockstar, $660. One hour, three shows. Two Double Up shows, where your Classic picks are performed by two dancers instead of one, plus Girl-on-Girl. More dancers, more energy, more mayhem.
Ultimate, $1,290. Two hours, six shows. The full experience: our Raunchy show, the other Classics upgraded to Double Ups, and a three-dancer Girl-on-Girl finale. For the crew that wants to go all out.
Build your own. Want to hand-pick the night? Create your own line-up from the menu, from $100 per dancer for a 20-minute Classic Show and $130 per dancer for a 20-minute Duo Show, with a minimum of three shows per function.
The show menu. Picks include Humiliation, where the girls take charge of the groom for 20 minutes and his mates get a story for life, plus Candy, Dominatrix, Raunchy and Wet. Duo options include Girl-on-Girl and Double Up. Every one is a performance, choreographed and delivered by professionals.
Why book with us
Every package comes with the lot:
Your own private room. Your crew, your shows, no one else.
Private bar and waitress service. Drinks come to you all night, with topless waitress service available.
Free entry for the guest of honour, on the night.
Request your favourite performers, subject to availability.
Discounted group entry for bookings before 9pm.
And two big reasons the boys will be talking about this one for years:
Karaoke room. Grab the mic and give the groom a power ballad he will never live down. A karaoke room made for singing, shouting and celebrating with the crew.
Shower rooms. One of our signature features: steamy, glamorous and a highlight of the night.
Add a stage built for a real show, Melbourne's most awarded team of entertainers and a spot in the heart of the CBD, a few minutes from Southern Cross Station, and you have the only finish line your bucks needs. Take a look around on our Venue page.
