Margaret River is less than 15 minutes away so, if you’re planning a destination wedding, your friends and family will have plenty to explore and discover. For proximity, we partner with Margaret's Beach Resort as a great accommodation option only 400m to the venue. Perfect walking distance after the wedding!
We are also within super-easy reach of Busselton Airport, to fly all your guests here with ease.
More so, the best part isn't just your wedding day with an array of activities to enjoy throughout the Margaret
River Region.
Explore world-class wineries, beaches, breweries, coastal hikes, caves and guides tours throughout your stay.
Our beach ceremonies take place on Gnarabup Beach, Margaret River with the reception venue just steps away (no saying your vows in one
place and having guests have to break the mood by driving somewhere else for the party!).
At 1.6km, Gnarabup is one of the longest swimming beaches in the Margaret River area. The featured limestone cliff also makes Gnarabup
the most protected beaches from the prevailing south-westerly breeze. If you grew up spending your holidays on the sand & in the
sun, Gnarabup will bring those easy summer days flooding back.
Although Gnarabup is a public beach, most beach goers will have packed up for the day by mid-afternoon. By 4:30pm when our ceremonies kick
off and your guests begin to arrive, the beach will generally be pretty clear. However, nothing wrong with extra good wishes from a
passer-by or two on such a joyful occasion!

Summer brides (from about November to April) will be happy to hear that the average daytime temperature is in the high-20s and rainfall is at its absolute lowest for the year (if a random passing shower does come through, we roll with it. A little water is no reason not to get married and have a fantastic party). The sunshine is also at its peak, with about 14 hours of daylight.
If you’re thinking of a mid-year winter wedding, no problems. We have an extensive indoor area with an open fireplace for up to 70 guests, perfect for dates in May to October. In fact, the wild waves and dramatic clouds make for incredible photos.
Our location at The White Elephant Cafe is the perfect beachside location for a wedding. We have a convenient car park and bus drop off/access area for your guests.
The large deck overlooking the sea also has wheelchair access for everyone to enjoy the party.
The staircase from the venue to the beach, means you and your guests can easily stroll between the sandy beach and the venue, making it easy to mingle around photos.
In fact, the piles of heels, sandals and loafers left on the deck inspired us to name ourselves Barefoot Beach Weddings.
