Barrett Lane Function centre is one of my favourite venues for weddings in Swan Valley. It’s tucked away down Lennard St in Herne Hill so you wouldn’t automatically know it was in Swan Valley unless you were specifically looking for it.

We’ve photographed weddings there numerous times through different seasons and it is one of the few venues that provides an intimate backyard setting. Probably because it is literally in the host’s backyard. Barrett Lane is situated in the North-east part of Swan Valley which gives us a lot of photo location opportunities throughout the year. We can easily duck out (ten minutes drive) with your bridal party to some spectacular spots if a change in scenery is required…

Barrett Lane Function centre is one of my favourite venues for weddings in Swan Valley. It’s tucked away down Lennard St in Herne Hill so you wouldn’t automatically know it was in Swan Valley unless you were specifically looking for it.

We’ve photographed weddings there numerous times through different seasons and it is one of the few venues that provides an intimate backyard setting. Probably because it is literally in the host’s backyard. Barrett Lane is situated in the North-east part of Swan Valley which gives us a lot of photo location opportunities throughout the year. We can easily duck out (ten minutes drive) with your bridal party to some spectacular spots if a change in scenery is required. Daniel from Showcase Catering is the exclusive caterer for the venue and they always provide the bridal party with an assortment of takeaway canapes. That way your bridal party has plenty to munch on whilst we’re shooting away. We’ve photographed at nearly all the venues in WA and I’d have to say the food Danny put’s out is up there with the very best in Perth. Your guests will not be disappointed.

One thing you’d probably never think of when choosing a venue is the orientation of the property. Barrett Lane’s ceremony space and function building faces west. As we know the sun sets in the west and most receptions start their pre-dinner drinks and canapes just before sunset. That means your guests and family members get an unobstructed view of the sunset overlooking the vines. Photographically speaking, you could not ask for anything better!

Here are a few image sets from past weddings at Barrett Lane. I’ve selected a few images from each wedding to give you a feel of how we capture the day as well as how the venue can look once it is set out for your guests. Most importantly, we want to show you how it feels after the sun has set, the lights dim and you’re sharing the best night of your life with the people you love.

Tom & Anne

Tom and Anne were married at Guildford Grammar School Chapel with their reception at Barrett Lane. Anne had one of the most amazing floral arrangements I’ve ever seen hung on the ceiling beams inside the function room. It really gives you an idea of how you can really dress up the room. The beauty of Barrett Lane is that having a rustic venue you have the freedom to add personal touches and whether simple or elaborate, the result is guaranteed to be beautiful and personal.

Chris & Samantha

Chris is a talented landscape photographer and he married Sam at Barrett Lane with a simpler evening ceremony for about 50 of their closest family and friends.

Hoang & Amanda

Here is an early winter wedding at Barrett Lane in June (before the vines shed their leaves). Most Perth couples are worried about planning winter weddings so they often avoid bookings in June through August. However what most people don’t realise is that Winter doesn’t usually hit hard until July so we often get sunny warm days in June that make weddings very comfortable. In fact most of the rainy weddings I’ve photographed tend to occur in September and October, right in the early spring months when Winter sticks around a little too long.

Amanda and Hoang’s outfits were also a little different to the norm where they swapped traditional outfit colours, something you rarely see at weddings!

Quinn & Connie

Quinn and Connie chose Barrett Lane on our recommendation to finish off a whirlwind series of wedding events. They spent two days with us in Perth for one of our most elaborate pre-wedding shoots, followed by a wedding ceremony and banquet in Hong Kong with over 300 guests. Many of their Perth friends couldn’t make their wedding so they decided to hold a party for about 60 friends at Barrett Lane, complete with freshly shucked oysters and a three course meal. Here is a little snippet of their day followed by a few frames from their pre-wedding shoot!

Finally we’ll end it off with some snippets from their pre-wedding shoot!
