Choosing from the best wedding venues in Perth comes down to your style, your guest numbers and the feeling you want on the day. I am Norman Yap. Norman Yap Photography is my personal wedding photography label, based in Perth, Western Australia, and after photographing hundreds of weddings across the city and beyond, these are the venues I would genuinely put forward, grouped by the kind of day they create.
Use this as a starting point, then explore the individual venue guides linked below for the detail.
The best wedding venues in Perth span garden estates, heritage buildings, coastal halls, urban spaces and Swan Valley wineries. The right one depends on your guest capacity, whether you want an all-in-one or a DIY venue, and the look and feel you are after.
Every couple is after a different feeling, so here are the venues I would put forward, grouped by the kind of day they create.
For gardens and estates, Caversham House and Mason Mill Gardens are two of the most beautiful, along with Balmain Estate. They give you lush grounds, room to move and natural backdrops everywhere you turn. See our Caversham House guide for the detail.
For heritage character, Como The Treasury and The Melbourne Hotel are stunning, set within Perth's grand old buildings, and the WA Museum Boola Bardip is another striking option. See our Como The Treasury guide.
For a coastal, old-world feel, Cottesloe Civic Centre is hard to beat, with the ocean close by and beautiful grounds.
For something urban and refined, Lamont's Bishop House and The Ritz-Carlton bring a city polish. See our Ritz-Carlton guide.
For a Swan Valley winery wedding, Sandalford and Mandoon Estate are right up there, with vineyards built into the backdrop.
If your priority is the reception, a few venues stand out for larger, editorial celebrations. Como The Treasury, The Ritz-Carlton, The Westin and Lamont's Bishop House all carry big guest lists comfortably and suit a refined, editorial style.
When you are weighing venues up, three things matter most: how many guests it can host, whether it is an all-in-one or a DIY venue, and the styling and features it already gives you. A venue with strong built-in character, like Caversham's colonnades or a winery's vineyards, does a lot of the visual work for you.
Honestly, a good photographer can make almost any venue work, finding the light and crafting unique compositions wherever you are. That said, a strong existing backdrop, like Como The Treasury and the surrounding State Buildings, makes beautiful images even easier to create.
