If you and your fiancé don’t envisage yourselves saying ‘I do’ to a soundtrack of the hustle and bustle of Perth’s CBD, a wedding venue located outside of the city may be more to your liking.
Situated on 50 hectares of golden meadows in the Yallingup region, The Tiller Farm is one of the most breathtaking and unique wedding venues in WA.
Easily one of our favourite South West wedding destinations, The Tiller Farm gives couples the choice of two ceremony locations - The Natural Amphitheatre and The Lawns. Both spaces overlook the farm and paddocks, so you’re guaranteed a beautiful backdrop in your ceremony photos.
For receptions, The Tiller Farm boasts its own purpose built dining room that was inspired by the architecture of English country barns. Its north facing design means late afternoon sunlight is abundant, and glass frontage allows the venue to be opened up to bring the outdoors inside when weather permits.
The dining options at The Tiller Farm are as varied as they are delicious, with paddock to plate style menus available for alternative drop style dinners, banquets, grazing tables and stand up cocktail-style functions, as well as beverage packages that highlight the finest drops in the South West.
Cherubino

A slice of Tuscany situated in the South West, Margaret River’s Cherubino Cellar Door is loved by photographers and couples alike for its phenomenal vistas featuring vineyards as far as the eye can see.
From the moment you cross over the threshold into Cherubino’s estate, travelling down a picturesque avenue lined with trees that leads to a lake embraced by vineyards, you feel like you’ve been transported to the Mediterranean, albeit only a three hour drive from Perth.
Couples can select from three charming spots for their ceremony at Cherubino and from a garden style reception (either under the stars or in a marquee) or dinner at Barrel Hall - a rustic indoor space that comes with an exclusive upstairs wedding party retreat.
Led by chef Ben Jacob, Masseria Restaurant at Cherubino delivers a menu that seamlessly marries the finest West Australian produce with Italian flavours, elevated with the perfect Cherubino wine pairings, to satisfy even the fussiest of foodies.
To make life easy for couples and their bridal parties, Cherubino offers on-site accommodation for up to 24 guests across three guest houses on six acres of gardens. These contemporary country farm style homes make it easy for VIPs to get ready on site on the morning of the big day.
