Venues to Hold a European Style Wedding in Western Australia

A European-inspired wedding is less about geography and more about feeling, the grace of structured gardens, the elegance of timeless architecture, and the romance of lingering moments under soft light. Western Australia, with its sweeping landscapes and thoughtfully designed venues, offers settings that echo the spirit of European celebration.

From grand estates with manicured lawns to hidden gardens tucked into the forest, these locations carry the refinement and intimacy that many couples dream of. Here, we explore some of the most beautiful venues in WA that lend themselves naturally to a European-style wedding, sharing what makes each one special and how Aron James Creative can help bring your vision to life.

Caversham House

Set on the banks of the Swan River in the Swan Valley, Caversham House offers a landscape designed with romance at its core. Its manicured gardens, colonnade walkways, and cascading fountains evoke the grandeur of European estates, while wisteria-draped pergolas and crystal chandeliers inside the main house lend French-inspired elegance.

Couples can choose from several distinct spaces: the Colonnade Gardens for a dramatic outdoor ceremony, the Garden House with its French doors opening to lush surrounds, or the permanent marquee complete with silk draping, chandeliers, and a marble bar. The flexibility of spaces ensures your celebration flows seamlessly from one setting to the next. With full catering services on site, logistics are simplified, allowing more attention to aesthetic details.

Why We Love It

We love Caversham House for the way it balances structure with natural beauty, a refined backdrop that needs little embellishment. Our role is to accentuate the architecture and gardens with thoughtful styling, creating cohesion from ceremony through reception. From mapping guest flow to selecting florals and lighting that highlight the venue’s inherent romance, we ensure every moment feels timeless and beautifully orchestrated.

Masonmill

Hidden away in the Perth Hills, Masonmill is an award-winning garden venue that feels both enchanting and expansive. With multiple themed spaces, including the Secret Garden, French Garden, and Crab Apple Garden, it offers couples the opportunity to choose a setting that reflects their vision. Each garden feels distinct yet equally lush, providing endless possibilities for a European-inspired celebration.

The French Garden, in particular, lends itself to a continental theme with structured hedges, gravel paths, and rose beds reminiscent of a provincial estate. Reception options are equally adaptable, with tailored food and beverage packages crafted in-house. This simplifies logistics, ensuring menus, service, and presentation align seamlessly with the overall experience. Masonmill’s greatest virtue lies in its versatility; intimate ceremonies, grand receptions, and everything in between feel at home here.

Why We Love It

We’re drawn to its design-forward canvas, which allows us to choreograph guest movement through winding paths, layering floral installations, candlelight, and refined décor without overwhelming the natural surroundings. Our role is to connect each garden zone into a cohesive story, guiding guests from one space to the next while ensuring the day feels effortlessly elegant and deeply personal.

Margaret River’s Secret Garden

Tucked within Brookland Valley Estate, Margaret River’s Secret Garden is a hidden sanctuary shaped by renowned landscape architect Paul Bangay. Wisteria-clad walkways, serene ponds, and lush garden rooms make it a dream setting for couples seeking the intimacy and refinement of a European estate.

The gardens are secluded within a peppermint forest, offering privacy and a sense of discovery. Ceremony spaces feel naturally framed, and as the sun sets, twilight receptions beneath the trees become profoundly romantic. With exclusive use of the property, couples enjoy privacy and control, while the Iris Garden Guesthouse provides a tranquil space for preparation. The venue accommodates up to 120 guests, with flexibility for round tables, long banquet settings, or cocktail-style receptions under the stars.

Why We Love It

What we admire most about the Secret Garden is how its beauty speaks for itself, a canvas that doesn’t require transformation, only thoughtful layering. Our styling focuses on enhancing the natural architecture with soft florals, classical touches, and lighting that accentuates water features and pathways. We carefully choreograph transitions between ceremony and reception, ensuring each stage of the day unfolds seamlessly within the garden’s poetic embrace.

The Gardens at Bullimah

Located just outside Albany, The Gardens at Bullimah offers ten acres of carefully curated landscape, paired with purpose-built facilities designed with weddings in mind. The Sunken Garden provides a unique ceremony setting, intimate and framed with terraced plantings, while the dedicated reception space, Potter’s Well, ensures celebrations continue in comfort regardless of weather. The balance between sculpted gardens and reliable infrastructure makes Bullimah an especially versatile choice. Packages include bridal suite accommodation, easing the pace of the day, and access to trusted local vendors with a personal coordinator guiding logistics.

Why We Love It

For couples dreaming of a European feel, the venue’s symmetry and structure echo the elegance of formal gardens, while its secluded pathways invite romantic styling with urns, lanterns, and lush florals. We love Bullimah for the way it invites storytelling through movement, guests can journey from one garden vignette to the next before gathering in the reception hall.

Our role is to highlight the natural form of the grounds, designing a flow that feels intuitive and memorable. With refined lighting, floral installations, and an eye for detail, we transform Bullimah’s gardens into a celebration that feels timeless and quietly grand.

Voyager Estate

In the heart of Margaret River, Voyager Estate pairs stately architecture with expansive gardens to create a setting that is both intimate and refined. Its Cape Dutch Manor House, with gabled façades and soaring interiors, is instantly reminiscent of European heritage estates. Mature Marri trees and rolling lawns surround the property, offering natural beauty alongside architectural gravitas. The estate’s restaurant provides a reception space for up to 80 guests, making Voyager ideal for smaller, highly personal gatherings. The curated menus and dedicated team ensure a seamless experience, with the option of intimate ceremonies, long lunches, or twilight garden celebrations.

Why We Love It

We admire Voyager for its architectural depth, the Manor House offers a dramatic yet elegant backdrop, while the gardens lend themselves to soft European styling with climbing greenery, candlelit paths, and layered florals. Our approach focuses on harmonising with the venue’s bones: styling table settings to echo the symmetry of the interiors, highlighting garden features with lighting, and creating a flow between indoor and outdoor that feels effortless. Voyager Estate is a place where every detail feels intentional, allowing couples to celebrate with a sense of grace and poise.
