Down South Wedding Venues

Down south wedding venues in Perth WA

The great South West; how lucky are we to have it on our doorstep!

Margaret River, Yallingup and Dunsborough have so many incredible wineries, cabins, farm stays and marquee venues and the scenery in itself is to die for!

Tips for a South West Wedding:

Have a clear marquee on standby to be safe in all seasons
Have the ceremony & reception at the same venue to maximise party and photo time
Invest in Fly Spray and lots of it
Book a stylist to keep you stress-free (ish)
Invest in a gorgeous UnReal Fur coat or One Day Bridal Bomber Jacket for those chilly nights
Check out Homestays, AirBnB, and all those luxury rental sites for hiring incredible properties for getting ready/ the after party

CREDARO WINERY

Located just 10 minutes South of Dunsborough in the Margaret River Wine Region, Credaro Family Estate has sweeping views across the vineyards across Wildwood Valley, a Tuscan style Cellar door and terrace.

They have a new brochure out showcasing their two venues on the property. Kristie and the staff are lovely and their wine is delicious.

This beautiful outdoor setting in Busselton is not too far from Perth and makes guests feel relaxed and on holiday overseas. Beautiful for summer weddings under the stars, the sandstone walls around the deck area is perfect for both cocktail and long table sit down celebrations.

OLIO BELLO OLIVE GROVE

I think they only book a limited number of weddings per year but I absolutely love the colouring of Olive Groves!

The European feel transports you to sipping wine in the Tuscany countryside.
