What Couples Say About Mark Your Ceremony
Planning a Coastal or Outdoor Wedding in Fremantle
Fremantle has a mix of wedding venues, from the beach around Bathers Beach to the waterfront at the WA Maritime Museum on Victoria Quay. If you prefer an older, historic setting, you could also look at venues around Fremantle's West End.
Before your wedding day, consider:
Guest seating and visibility: Make sure guests can see and hear the ceremony, including the exchange of vows.
Sound and music: Check what equipment your venue requires and whether music can be played at your chosen location.
Timing and the running order: Allow enough time for guest arrival, the ceremony, signing, and photographs.
Weather and the venue setup: For outdoor ceremonies, discuss a wet-weather alternative and any venue restrictions in advance.
Coordination with your suppliers: Confirm timings with your photographer, venue coordinator, and any other suppliers involved in the ceremony.
I'll discuss your plans with you and coordinate relevant details with your wedding team as appropriate to your package.
Whether you're planning a small ceremony or a larger celebration, the goal is to have a clear plan that suits your venue and gives you time to enjoy the occasion.
