Ten Perth reception venues for a beachfront wedding
Rendezvous Hotel Perth Scarborough
This opulently refurbished hotel offers a spectacular beachside wedding celebration that is unlike anything else in Perth. While the quality and style are upscale and glamorous, the team here can cater for quiet, intimate ceremonies or grand reception extravaganzas. There are four different rooms for your wedding reception, with magnificent views of the Indian Ocean, and a number of food and beverage packages to delight every budget. With heavenly accommodation for all of your guests, no one will ever want to leave.
The Breakwater
The Breakwater has won awards for being one of the best wedding reception venues, not just in Perth, but anywhere in Australia. They are renowned for their levels of service and attention to detail, for food that looks like a work of art, and a wedding planning team that always keep their couples surprised and happy. With an elegant contemporary décor including Swarovski crystal chandeliers and beautiful vistas through the floor to ceiling windows, this is where beach weddings meet true luxury.
The Boatshed Restaurant
One of the many reasons why you might choose a Perth beachfront wedding is because, in any season, the ocean makes a matchless and ever-changing backdrop for your day. At the Boatshed, their windows can open fully to let the glorious summer evening air in or hold back the theatre of a winter stormy night. But it is always a beautiful outlook. With a quaint little wooden boathouse look at the front, leading to a warm, welcoming and stylish interior, this is where your dream wedding becomes a reality.
Indiana Cottesloe Beach
Famous for their contemporary-style weddings with a difference, Indiana has become Perth’s premier coastal event venue. Described as rising effortlessly from the sands of Cottesloe Beach, this vintage-surf club look building has a wealth of hidden décor delights. With high ceilings, vast windows with decorative stained glass panels, rustic timber floors, and an outdoor beach bar and terrace, there are many lovely spaces to celebrate your special day. And to top it all off there are uninterrupted views across the Indian Ocean and of the sunset over Rottnest Island. Bliss!
