Now that Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 has completely wrapped up, our castmates who’ve clawed their way out of the trenches — AKA the commitment ceremonies — are now out and about, making the most of their newfound fame. Many of our brides and grooms have taken on club appearances to extend that star power, but how much do they really get paid for these gigs?

As you might’ve noticed with previous seasons, MAFS participants love to drag out all the fame they’ve copped from appearing on the show.

Some go on to start an OnlyFans, others start a podcast, and some just stay on the IG influencer grind.

Most recently, a bunch of 2025 contestants have gone down the route of club appearances, where they dance around the DJ booth and hang out with fans of the show.

How much for Married At First Sight participants get paid for club appearances?

Taking to TikTok, former nightclub owner Danny Grant (@dannysrants) revealed that “agencies” pick up these participants and “sell them to the clubs”.

“What they [the agencies] normally do is that they package them up,” Grant revealed in his video.

“So there will be alliances, there will be a popular guy or multiple popular people in a group and then they will separate them because some of them won’t get along.”

Grant reveals that these groups (or “packages” as he calls them) can be paid around $3000. However, that $3000 is for the whole group, rather than each participant.

“That $3000 gets broken down to whoever’s most popular down to the person who’s the least popular, they might end up coming for a couple hundred bucks,” he continued.

“When their in the bigger cities — like Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane — they normally do the outer suburban too, so in one night they might be able to make six, seven grand.”

While a club tour might sound a bit iffy, Grant revealed that these gigs were great for the clubs.

“Does it work, does it bring people? It actually does,” he shared.

Speaking to online publication Chattr, one anonymous MAFS contestant revealed that they were paid $3K for a 30 – 120 minute club appearance.

“Some of the better clubs pay less, like $1500-$2,000. But mostly it’s a set $3,000 for 90 minutes,” they dished.

Honestly, if I spent months upon months on a show like MAFS, best believe I am making the MOSTTTTT of whatever fame I’ve made. And to be at the club, partying it up? Yeah, I totally get why these baddies are on the books!
