Wedding Reception Venues in the Western Suburbs

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Three suburbs hold the Western Suburbs' listed reception venues, each with a different feel. Cottesloe offers a beach hotel and a heritage pub, Claremont has a restored 1886 hotel with a rooftop, and Crawley has a riverfront restaurant and a campus tavern by the Swan River.

How the reception suburbs compare:

Cottesloe: the Sunsets Room upstairs at The Cottesloe Beach Hotel seats 110 with a dance floor and an ocean-facing balcony, while the main ballroom at Albion Hotel Cottesloe has its own bar, room to dance and a balcony.
Claremont: The Claremont Hotel's Grevillea Room seats 80 with a private bar, and the whole of level one opens to 588.
Crawley on the foreshore: Matilda Bay Restaurant's Roe Room seats 70 to 140 with a built-in dance floor and views over the river and city.
Crawley on campus: UWA Tavern seats 180 across the whole venue, and its courtyard faces the river.
Starting prices: The Claremont Hotel from $40 per person, Matilda Bay Restaurant from $1,500 minimum spend, and a $4,000 minimum spend at The Cottesloe Beach Hotel.

None of the five lists a ceremony space, so ask each whether the vows can be held on site before comparing reception packages.
