Have you been searching for small wedding venues in Perth? If you want a small wedding of less than 200 guests, there is a whole special feel and ambiance that goes with this. Small weddings are intimate and exclusive and full of tiny details about the couple, their friends and family. More so than bigger weddings, small ones are very uniquely crafted and personalised, and possess a character and personality all of their own.
Choosing the right venue for such a ceremony and celebration is vitally important; you can’t just take a large venue and put fewer people in it. It needs to feel cosy and welcoming, while still showcasing the people at the centre of the day.
