Best Wedding Venues Perth for Hire

The question popped and the answer was a sweet yes! And now you’re at the part where you figure out where to make it official. Perth’s not just about beaches and sunsets; it’s got waterside spots, terraces, pubs, and suburban places. It’s easy to find a venue that aligns with the kind of day you’re picturing, whether that’s a twilight toast over Elizabeth Quay or a relaxed gathering at your local pub.

When you’re choosing a venue, start with guest numbers. Even a rough idea helps you avoid tight corners or huge halls that feel empty. 

Next, the timing. Perth really shines in spring or autumn. You get warm afternoons and cool evenings. Weekends in those seasons fill fast, so it’s smart to book early. Weekdays are usually calmer and lighter on the budget. Summers are hot unless the venue has air-conditioning, and winters can be surprisingly moody which is perfect for indoors and pretty aesthetic too

Figure out your day’s flow too. Do you want everything in one spot or a ceremony here, reception there? If people need to travel between spots, you’re looking at shuttles or taxis, so picking a single venue often makes life simpler.

Where to say “I do” in Perth

The city centre is the obvious choice if you want convenience. Hotels, rooftop bars, and function rooms are all within walking distance of hotels, trams, and restaurants. They’re great for guests who don’t want to drive around.

East Perth adds riverside charm, it’s natural, light, and feels more relaxed. West Perth leans toward heritage. Old buildings with courtyard spaces, greener backdrops, and that cozy charm. 

Victoria Park is where local pubs and boutique hotels offer smaller, friendlier reception rooms. It’s perfect for groups, casual plates, craft beers, and good conversation. Claremont brings quiet elegance. Garden-lined venues give it a calm, Sunday-lunch-invite feel. If you love nostalgia and natural light, this is your vibe.

Wembley and Nedlands have suburban venues like pubs and community halls mostly, with enough room for 50 to 100 guests. Ideal if you want a laid-back evening focused on food and company rather than fluff.

Let’s Talk About The Menu

Most venues offer simple but solid packages: welcome drinks, canapés or starters, mains (usually shared plates or alternate drop), dessert, plus a drink package that runs for three to four hours. Some spots throw in a welcome cocktail or let you upgrade the bar later in the evening. 

Most venues are pretty flexible when it comes to dietary requirements. Vegan, gluten-free, halal, just flag it early so the kitchen knows what to prepare. If you’re thinking of something different, like a gelato cart, food truck, or even a sushi stand, those are often an option too, especially at venues with outdoor space like riverside lawns or converted warehouses. Just be clear from the start as some places have a preferred supplier list, while others let you bring in your own vendors, usually for an extra fee.

How Much You’ll Likely Spend For A Wedding in Perth

Your budget will likely land around_$120 per person. Simpler daytime events can be as low as $95, while full-on dinners with upgraded drinks might hit $145+. Minimum spend options are common and this lets you decide whether you want a smaller crowd and bigger experience or a larger group with simpler food.

Sunday, midweek, or winter dates are usually cheaper. Also consider shorter receptions. A three-hour cocktail event can feel just as meaningful as a full meal, without the spend.

Helping Your Guests Reach the Party

Getting guests where they need to go shouldn’t be an afterthought. City venues close to hotels, tram routes, and public transport make logistics easy. Suburban venues like Victoria Park, Claremont, Wembley, Nedlands are usually car-dependent. That’s fine, but do share parking details or public transport options in your invites.

Add a QR code to the invite linking to a map with nearest parking, pick-up zones, and venue entrance. It’s a small thing that cuts down on confusion especially after a few toasts.

If you’ve got clusters of guests coming from the same area, say, out-of-towners or friends at the beach, organize a simple group ride-share or bus pick-up. It’s friendly, practical, and people don’t get stuck wondering how to get home.

Let the Details Carry Your Story

People remember small gestures. A playlist with bands you love or songs you both giggled about. A photo montage of trips or funny moments. Guest messages on video or voice notes make great keepsakes.

Your wedding site, if you have one, can double as a story site where you share why you chose your venue, a mini playlist, or even a confession about your favourite coffee spot.

Experience registries are especially smart too. Like tours, memberships, or weekend escapes. They’re meaningful, unique, and usually better used than another coffee maker.

Before You Commit, Just Double-Check These Details

When you’ve found a spot that feels right, pause and ask for clarity: what furniture or equipment do they provide? Do you need to hire in anything extra? What are the bump-in and bump-out times, can you drop in early for styling, or are you boxed in to a specific window? 

If there’s any outdoor space, ask about plan B for bad weather. What can move inside, how quickly, and will that change the feel of the day?

Check if you can use your own suppliers like photographer, florist, DJ or if you’re locked in to a venue-approved list. Confirmation on that matters so put this on top of your planning list. Seeing the venue in person is also non-negotiable. Walk the space and feel if it suits you.

Finally, understand cancellation or postponement policies so you’re prepared if plans shift.

You don’t need every detail now. Just prioritise who’s there, the season you love, and the vibe you want. Once your venue is sorted, the rest will find its place. Perth gives you coastal hues, city glam, suburban ease, or river views just pick the backdrop that feels like the perfect backdrop to your new beginning, and everything else will fall into place.
