Old Broadwater Farm
Old Broadwater Farm is the wedding venue dreams are made of. A few minutes away from Busselton, so not too far from Perth for your guests, the private family estate has some of the most picturesque grounds we’ve ever seen. It’s BYO beverages so you can have exactly what you want, and the marquee is luxurious. If you’re there at the right time of year, we just love the rows of blooming roses for some of your photos.
Wise Wines
Not only is the wine at Wise Winery delicious, but this venue makes for a magical place to host your wedding ceremony and reception. With the winery’s perfect position in Eagle Bay, you can celebrate your day by looking out to the vineyards as well as the turquoise waters of Geographe Bay. It’s a little bit rustic and a whole lotta glam at the same time.
Solitaire Homestead
Solitaire Homestead is simply stunning and will create the photo backdrop you’ve been thinking about your entire life. The bushland reflects this gorgeous place we live in and there’s a number of areas for your wedding reception including dining under the stars, in the world’s coolest Tipi next to the lake or in the wood-lined shed strung with rattan lights.
Meelup Farmhouse
We absolutely adore the aesthetic of Meelup Farmhouse and there was no way it couldn’t make our list of favourite venues. As a working hobby farm, the coastal farmhouse oozes charm and character. You can book a private ceremony overlooking Meelup Brook and have your reception out in the open or within the very stylish boho themed restaurant. Take a look at the photos and you’ll see how pretty this one is!
Bunkers Beach House
You can’t have a list of wedding venues down South without including one of the pristine, white sand beaches. A wedding at Bunkers Beach House means you can say ‘I do’ in front of the crystal-clear water and head back into the stylish restaurant. Imagine your photos at this one – it’s the ideal place for couples who can’t get enough of the beach.
Credaro
There is nothing not to love about Credaro, a beautifully unique family estate overlooking the rolling vineyards of the Wildwood Valley. The setting here is divine and promises to create some very special moments for you and your loved ones as well as incredible backdrops for photography – golden hour, sunset over the vines and a Tuscan-themed cellar door are just some options you can have a think about.
Eight Willows Retreat
The ceremony locations at Eight Willows Retreat are utterly breathtaking. There’s a bush chapel nestled amongst natural bushland with a wooden arbour, an iconic willow tree, gazebo and outdoor alfresco overlooking a lake and parkland gardens. There’s also a heap of accommodation on site making it the ultimate experience for you and your guests.

Eagle Bay Brewing provides uninterrupted views over the Indian Ocean and rural landscape guaranteeing some out of this world photography. This relaxed venue has the flexibility for your wedding to be a casual celebration or something a bit more formal – the choice is yours and Eagle Bay is here to tell the story of you as a couple. The food and bevvies are great – your guests will love the handcrafted beers, ciders, and exceptional wines.
