About

Overview & Vibe

A private riverside lawn on the banks of the Swan River at Caversham, at the southern end of the Swan Valley and 25 minutes from Perth CBD. The estate describes itself as “a uniquely secluded venue” that “imparts a feeling of remoteness without sacrificing convenience, accessibility, or amenities”, and it is run by operators with over 30 years of experience.

Setting & Style

The ceremony happens outdoors on a lawn ringed by a cluster of old gum trees, then “flows seamlessly into a marquee reception” — a clear- or white-roofed structure with timber flooring, festoon lighting inside and out and a timber dance floor. A 300-tree olive grove is being established across the grounds.

Ideal For

Couples who want a blank-canvas marquee wedding on private riverfront land and intend to bring their own food and drink — the estate is built around that, not around an in-house kitchen.

The Need-to-Knows

BYO food and beverages are permitted. “This flexibility extends to catering, allowing you to supply your own food and beverages, ensuring you can share your favourite cuisine and wines with your guests.” The packages are priced as “Venue Package | BYO” on that basis.
The marquee package is the infrastructure, not the catering. It covers the structure, timber flooring, roof and walls, lighting, dance floor, chairs, timber tables, crockery, cutlery, glassware, napkins, bar, lounges, generator and cabling, toilets, transport and labour.
$9,200 for 50 guests, then $79 per extra guest, with a 25% off offer running at the time of listing.
Capacity runs from 50 to 300. Fifty is a floor as well as a ceiling — the venue package is priced from that number.
Optional catering is a third party. Drinks are “supplied & Managed by Cherry Catering or BYO”, and the per-head food figures on the site carry the venue's own note “Prices as at January 2024” — confirm them before budgeting.
Reverse-cycle air conditioning is included and a cool room is an optional upgrade, both within the grounds.

Standout Feature

A secluded gum-lined lawn on the Swan River, 25 minutes from the CBD, where you can bring your own caterer and your own wine.

Price Notes

THE VENUE'S OWN CHARGE IS A PACKAGE, NOT A PER-HEAD RATE. From the Premium White and Rustic package pages: 'Venue Package | BYO Estate Pricing (Based of 50 guests) $9,200 for 50 guests | Extra guests add $79pp (Standard inclusions listed above | Save $$$ by BYO Drinks + BYO Food)'. Fifty guests is the base, so the entry cost of a reception here is $9,200 before any food or drink.
A 25% DISCOUNT WAS RUNNING AT THE TIME OF LISTING. The banner on every page reads 'Limited 25% Off Wedding Packages Offer available', and both reception package pages repeat '+25% Off' directly beneath the pricing block. The Ceremony Only Package shows the discount applied on its face: '$2,500 $1,875 ... Venue Hire 25% Off'. Treat $9,200 as the undiscounted figure and confirm whether the offer still stands.
CEREMONY ONLY PACKAGE - $2,500, DISCOUNTED TO $1,875. Inclusions as listed: 'Furniture Package / 22 Chairs / Arbour / Signing Table Setup / Venue Hire'. This is a ceremony product with no reception attached.
BYO FOOD AND BEVERAGE ARE BOTH PERMITTED AND THIS IS THE POINT OF THE VENUE. From the About section: 'Whether you prefer a rustic setup, a classic white wedding, a BYO arrangement, or a fully coordinated package, Olive River Estate offers tailored plans to fit your needs and budget. This flexibility extends to catering, allowing you to supply your own food and beverages, ensuring you can share your favourite cuisine and wines with your guests.' The pricing block reinforces it: 'Save $$$ by BYO Drinks + BYO Food'.
OPTIONAL CATERING IS BY A THIRD PARTY AND ITS PRICES ARE SELF-DATED TO JANUARY 2024. 'Roast Buffet Menu + 5hr Drinks Service | from $96pp / Cocktail Menu + 5hr Drinks Service | from $103pp / Plated Dinner | Request more info. *Drinks supplied & Managed by Cherry Catering or BYO and save $$$$ *Prices as at January 2024.' The venue is still publishing these as its catering rates but has stamped them itself; they were two and a half years old when this listing was made.
WHAT THE MARQUEE PACKAGE ACTUALLY INCLUDES, verbatim: 'Marquee Structure / Marquee Timber Flooring / Marquee Roof Cover (White or Clear) / Marquee Walls (White or Clear) / Marquee Lights Inside (Festoon or Fairy) / Festoon Lights Outside / Timber Dance Floor / Outside Chairs / Timber Tables / Crockery, Cutlery and Glassware / Napkins / Bar / Carpet Runner / Lounges / Electricity Generator, Distribution Box and Cabling / Toilets (Porta Loo) / Transport and Labour / Venue Hire'. Listed as optional extras: 'Catering / Marquee Kitchen Equipment / Alternative Furniture Options'.
RUNNING ORDER FOR A RECEPTION WEDDING: 'Bump in from 2pm / 4pm Ceremony / 5-11pm Reception'. For ceremony-only bookings the estate runs up to three slots a day with published gate times - Morning ('8:00am: Gate open for suppliers / 9:00am: Gate open for guests / 9:30-10:00am: Ceremony / 10:00am: Photos'), Midday ('12:30pm: Gate open / 1:00-1:30pm: Ceremony / 1:30pm: Photos') and Afternoon, which is 'Reserved for Wedding held at Olive River Estate' ('3:30pm: Gate open / 4:00pm-4:30pm: Ceremony / 4:30pm: Photos / 5:00: Reception Starts / 11pm: Gate close'). A seasonal note applies: '*1 May - 30 August - All Midday and Afternoon Ceremony times are brought forward 30 minutes.'
AMENITIES ARE ON THE GROUNDS AND AIR CONDITIONING IS INCLUDED: 'Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing all essential amenities, including luxury facilities, reverse cycle air conditioning. A cool room is available and optional upgrade, all within the grounds.' Toilets in the marquee package are listed as 'Toilets (Porta Loo)'.
NO STRUCTURED PRICING DATA anywhere on the site, and no PDF is served from the domain - every figure above was read off the package pages themselves.
A CRAWL NOTE. The package pages return an effectively EMPTY body to an offset-based text extraction, yet each carries sixteen dollar signs in its raw HTML. The inclusions and prices live inside a nested '<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="section"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><ul><li>' block - the markup Canva/InDesign exports produce - which sits outside the main content region. Extract from that block directly. The site is also a four-page site only (home plus three /package/ routes); /gallery/, /about-us/, /contact/ and /weddings/ all 404, and the full image set comes from the venue's own wp-json media library.
