Welcome to Fairbrossen
Thank you for your enquiry regarding to hold your special function with us here at Fairbrossen. We would be very
pleased and honoured to work with you to ensure that your wedding is designed to meet your own unique
requirements and style.
This wedding package will provide you with information regarding the venue, areas for hire, wedding hire, food and
beverages as well as additional notes for your consideration.
The Venue
Fairbrossen is set in a lovely rural area in the Perth hills, only 30min from the city. With a peaceful ambiance, our
cafe boasts views across the vineyard to the state forest. We also have a wonderful outdoor wooden decking area
which overlooks the vineyard that connects to the winery and cellar door. We can cater for small intimate
gatherings, cocktail parties and sit down functions.
Wedding Venue Hire
The ceremony
We have two wonderful areas available for you to hold your romantic wedding ceremony. Saying I Do under the big
gum nut tree with direct views of the vineyard and the valley, surrounded by a rustic tractor and native plants. Or
saying I Do on the lawn by the wishing well with the vineyard in the background.
Our ceremony hire includes hire for 1 ½ hour, 20 chairs (without chair covers & sashes), cream aisle runner, signing
table with 2 chairs (or wine barrel), and musician area (power point available if needed).
The Pre-Reception
Upon your announcement of husband and wife you can join your guests for celebratory drinks and canapés on the
lawn by the wishing well over viewing the vineyard or on the outdoor wooden decking at the winery.
Whilst you’re away with the photographer, your guests will be in good hands with our friendly and experienced staff
enjoying drinks and canapés. Some canapés will be kept aside for you and served when you get back.
The pre-reception is part of the reception hire and includes a trestle table (with black table cloth), service of the
champagne of your choice as well as soft drinks and water.
Wedding Reception
Join us as husband and wife celebrating the rest of your evening in our cafe venue that overlooks our vineyard which
also captures an amazing sunset over the hills and into the valley. We can cater for a buffet, a cocktail style evening
or for a more formal affair, a sit down 2 or 3 course meal. Please refer to the attached wedding menus for our
options which can be personalised.
We have a number of wonderful decorations that can be hired to enhance the aesthetics of your venue room. From
a beautiful ceiling chiffon drape that covers the outer area ceiling, to white lanterns that can used to enhance the
surrounding trees or paths and chair organza’s. Please make sure you ask about what we have to offer at your
