Our Wedding Day

Saturday 20 May 2023

Everything you need to know

Dress code

Cocktail attire. 

Pretty dresses and suit jackets. Cocktail attire translates to semiformal. Think elegant party dress and a great pair of heels. We will be providing dancefloor appropriate thongs for when the dancing gets vigorous. 

Food & drinks

An Italian vibe, with everyone catered for. We will have gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options. There will be lots of food, make sure you don’t eat before hand! 

Along with the usual celebratory drinks, non-alcoholic options will be available along with barista coffee and tea throughout the night.

Uber or Didi are quick and easy in Perth. 

There is parking available at the entry to Perth City Farm.

Continue the night

Anyone interested in kicking on, we suggest The Court in Northbridge. It has a few bars and an upstairs nightclub and is 1km from the wedding. We will see you on the dancefloor.

Accommodation

Here’s our pick of the best places to stay close to the action. Perth is quite an easy city to get around, and most things aren’t more than 20 minutes away. Generally anywhere in Claisebrook Cove, East Perth or the CBD will be close to the action and easy for transport.

East Perth Suites

Walking distance to the ceremony, a waterfront bar and close to shops and cafes of East Perth. Views of Claisebrook Cove. 

Fraser Suites

Serviced apartments with beautiful views over the Swan River. Convenient to the City and beautiful surrounds. 

DoubleTree by Hilton

Within the recently built Elizabeth Quay. Picturesque and across the road from the city. Also the pool looking over the river is beautiful.
