Everything you need to know about weddings in

Busselton is a canvas for your romantic wedding vision. Its diverse landscapes cater to every style, from breezy and casual to grand and elegant.

  • Beachfront Bliss: Imagine saying 'I do' with the calm, turquoise waters of Geographe Bay as your backdrop. Venues along the coast offer stunning ocean views and a relaxed, romantic atmosphere.
  • Vineyard Vows: On the cusp of the Margaret River wine region, Busselton is home to beautiful wineries with manicured gardens, rustic barrel rooms, and award-winning catering.
  • Historic Homesteads: For a touch of timeless romance, consider a private estate or historic property. These venues often feature beautiful gardens, grand architecture, and an exclusive, intimate feel.
  • Rustic Charm: Embrace the region's rural character with a wedding at a charming farm or countryside retreat, perfect for a relaxed yet sophisticated celebration under the stars.

Budgeting for your Busselton wedding involves a few key considerations. As a popular destination in the South West, costs can vary by season and venue type.

Venue Hire:

  • Exclusive hire of a winery or private estate often ranges from $8,000 to $20,000+.
  • More intimate restaurant spaces or community-run venues may offer more accessible pricing.

Price Per Head:

  • All-inclusive packages, which typically include food and beverages, generally fall between $180 and $280 per guest.

Budgeting Tips:

  • Consider an Off-Peak Date: Marrying in winter (June-August) or on a weekday can significantly reduce venue hire costs.
  • Review Package Inclusions: Some venues offer 'dry hire' (venue only), giving you flexibility with suppliers, while all-inclusive packages simplify planning and can offer better value.
  • Guest List: A more intimate guest list is the most effective way to manage your overall budget while still securing a stunning, romantic venue.

Busselton's Mediterranean climate offers beautiful options year-round, but some seasons are particularly magical for a romantic wedding.

Spring (September - November)

Wildflowers are in bloom and the weather is mild and pleasant. It's an ideal time for garden ceremonies and outdoor receptions before the peak summer heat arrives.

Summer (December - February)

Long, sunny days are perfect for a classic beach wedding. Be aware this is the peak tourist season, so booking venues and accommodation well in advance is essential.

Autumn (March - May)

Often considered the prime wedding season. The weather is warm and stable, and the vineyards are lush with stunning golden light for photography. The summer crowds have thinned, creating a more relaxed atmosphere.

Winter (June - August)

Perfect for a cosy and intimate celebration. Imagine a romantic reception with a roaring fireplace at a winery or historic estate. This season also offers the most competitive pricing from venues.

Ensuring your guests can travel to and stay in Busselton comfortably is key to a great wedding experience.

Getting There:

  • By Car: Busselton is a scenic 2.5 to 3-hour drive south of Perth.
  • By Air: The Busselton-Margaret River Airport (BQB) services flights from some Australian cities, offering a convenient option for interstate guests.

Wedding Day Transport:

Consider hiring a charter bus to transport guests between their accommodation and your venue, especially if it's a rural property. This is a safe and convenient option that everyone will appreciate.

Accommodation Options:

Busselton has a wide range of accommodation to suit all budgets and preferences.

  • Luxury Resorts: Several beachfront resorts offer premium facilities and are sometimes wedding venues themselves.
  • Holiday Homes: Renting large houses is a great option for family groups or the bridal party.
  • Hotels & Motels: A variety of reliable options are located in and around the town centre.

We recommend guests book accommodation 6-9 months in advance, particularly for weddings in peak season.
