How Wick and Sip works at your venue

We bring the guests and experience. You grow your mid‑week revenue.

A proven plug‑and‑play format that fits seamlessly around your existing service and brand.

Step 1

Choose your slow nights

We align around your quieter mid-week evenings, or Sunday afternoons and reserve a section or room for 40–160 ticketed guests.

You provide: food & drink menu, allow for appropriate service staff.

Step 2

Venue Handles Ticketing; Wick & Sip Co-Promote

The venue will handle the booking platform and sell tickets; Wick & Sip will co-promote the event and support promotion, but the venue is also expected to promote it. You'll still see confirmed numbers well before the event night.

You control: your floor plan and service flow, and manage ticket sales.

Step 3

Host an unforgettable night

We arrive early with all candle‑making materials, set up, host, and break down. Our professional, reliable team provides full bump‑in and bump‑out service and flexible setups for dining areas, function rooms, or courtyards. The service is fully insured and compliant.

You gain: full bar & food sales, new regulars, and organic social buzz for your venue.

Designed for restaurant & bar economics

Turn “dead nights” into your most reliable covers of the week

Our partners see Wick and Sip nights become a core part of their revenue mix—without cannibalising peak Friday/Saturday trade.

  • Predictable pre‑sold covers on historically quiet nights
  • High average check: ticket + drinks + optional food pairing
  • New guests discovering your venue through a premium experience
  • Repeat visits from attendees who loved the night

Tickets average at $40 per guest. Venues keep $10 per head to cover admin and drink costs. Venues also retain all food and beverage revenue.

Sample Thursday night projection

For a 50‑guest Wick and Sip at your venue:

  • 50 pre‑sold tickets at $40 each = $2,000 total ticket revenue

  • Venue share: $10 per guest = $500 (covers admin & drink costs)

  • Average 2–3 drinks per guest

  • Optional fixed menu or small plates to increase ticket price and revenue

  • Opportunity to promote return visits & gift cards

Split summary: For each $40 ticket, venues keep $10 per guest to cover admin and on‑site drink costs. Venues retain all additional food & beverage sales.

“We used to close sections of Riverland on Sundays. Now our Wick and Sip events are fully booked weeks out, and guests ask when the next date is as they’re paying the bill.”

Questions, answered

What venue partners usually ask before hosting

If you have a specific question, include it in your application and our team will cover it on your intro call.

Who provides the candle‑making materials and staffing?

Wick and Sip handles the full candle‑making experience. We bring all materials (soy wax, wax melter, fragrance oils, vessels, tools, protective coverings) and our own event hosts to run the creative portion of the night. Your team focuses solely on food, drinks, and service.

How long is a typical Wick and Sip event?

Most events run 2–3 hours, with guests arriving in a defined window. The candle‑making portion usually lasts around 90 minutes, which pairs naturally with drink service and food before, during, or after the activity depending on your layout.

What nights work best?

We specialise in transforming quieter nights—typically Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday afternoons. If you have another slow recurring night, mention it in your application and we’ll explore whether Wick and Sip is a fit.

How do finances and revenue share work?

We agree on a clear structure in advance. Wick and Sip retains the $30 ticket portion that covers the candle‑making experience, materials, and marketing. Your venue retains revenue from all drinks and food.. There are no surprise fees.

Do we need special licenses or insurance?

You simply need the standard licenses you already hold for food and alcohol service. Wick and Sip maintains its own product, public liability and indemnity insurance for the activity itself and ensures our setup complies with your venue’s safety guidelines.
