Plan a wedding in Western Australia

In the South West you can marry by the ocean near Dunsborough or deep in karri forest near Pemberton. When the weather cools, the Grand Foyer at Pullman Bunker Bay brings the ceremony inside under cathedral ceilings, with the bay still in view.

At Ampersand Estates, dinner is in Oldfield's Barn, a timber barn more than a century old with jarrah bush poles and sliding doors, and the spirits are distilled on the estate. On the coast, couples who want to dance late hold the reception in Kaartdijinup, a pillar-free room named from the Noongar word for knowledge.

Get your guests to Western Australia

Your guests will want to know these before they book flights.

  • Nearest airport: Perth Airport (PER), with Busselton Margaret River Airport (BQB) for the South West
  • Transfer: From Perth, guests drive about 3 hours south to the coast near Dunsborough. Landing in Busselton instead leaves a drive of about 40 to 45 minutes.

Give your guests more of Western Australia

Days around the wedding fill easily:

  • Rottnest Island quokkas: Meet the island's quokkas, then swim in one of Rottnest's sheltered bays.
  • Margaret River wineries: Taste wine along the food and wine trails of the Margaret River region.
  • Caves of the South West: Explore the caves along the Margaret River coast on a day out from the wineries.
  • Cape to Cape Track: Walk a section of the coastal track that links Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin.

Questions couples ask about marrying in Western Australia

Can we get married on Rottnest Island?
Yes. Rottnest Island is in high demand as a wedding location through the warmer months and has Anglican and Catholic churches. Ceremony and reception locations and their approvals are managed by the Rottnest Island Authority, and the ferry operators take group bookings for guests travelling across from Fremantle, a crossing of about 25 to 45 minutes.
Can we have a barefoot beach wedding at Bunker Bay?
Yes. Pullman Bunker Bay holds barefoot ceremonies on the white sand of the bay, with numbers set by the layout you choose. If you would rather be above the water, the Ocean Terrace takes ceremonies of up to 120 looking across the Indian Ocean, and the Garden Amphitheatre sits in native bushland with seasonal wildflowers for up to 140.
Can we bring our own suppliers to a Pemberton wedding venue?
Yes, at Ampersand Estates. It runs as a self-styled venue, so you choose your own suppliers with help from the estate's recommended list, and the estate's own wines are included with the wedding. Pullman Bunker Bay on the coast works the other way: outside alcohol is not permitted, and the resort supplies the drinks.
How many wedding guests can sleep at Ampersand Estates?
Up to 24, across 3 residences on the estate. The Homestead by the Donnelly River has 5 king suites, the 5-bedroom Vintner's Residence sits at the top of the estate, and the Settlers' Cottage dates from the late 1800s. That suits a wedding party staying for several days, with private cellar door tastings for guests in between.
Can we marry among the vines in Pemberton?
Yes. Ampersand Estates holds ceremonies among its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines, and you have the whole estate to yourselves on the day. Other settings include the lake beside the cellar door, where ducks and the odd black swan drift past, a white helipad over the stables and The Terrace in a bend of the Donnelly River for up to 150.
