Why You’ll Love a Decoy Wedding

? Simplified Packages

Choose from two thoughtfully designed options:

• The Petite Package (3 hours)
• The Luxe Package (6.5 hours) - full day access

Both offer outstanding value and generous inclusions.

?? One Place, One Price

Everything is included—venue hire, wedding coordination and styling, trusted vendors, MC/DJ, food and drinks. One easy package, with absolutely nothing more to pay.

?? A Floating Venue Like No Other

Exchange vows on the scenic Swan River, with the Perth skyline as your backdrop. The romance of the water creates a magical atmosphere that no land-based venue can rival.

?? Scenic Click & Cruise Adventure 

Each package is full of photo opportunities — from the glistening vintage steam engine, the classic paddlewheels, and the ship’s famous steering wheel, to candid moments with the captain at the helm. Enjoy ever-changing views of Perth CBD, the historic Swan Brewery, and the iconic Blue Boat House.

The Luxe Package also includes an optional stop at Applecross, ideal for capturing serene shots in the riverside park.

?? Exceptional Food & Beverages

From gourmet canapés to live-cooked paella, indulgent buffets to abundant shared banquets, choose your ideal dining style.

Beverage packages include premium bottled beers, ciders, acclaimed Margaret River wines, soft drinks, tea and espresso coffee.
