Why You’ll Love a Decoy Wedding
? Simplified Packages
Choose from two thoughtfully designed options:
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.
?? Flexibility
If you are looking for flexibility, our Curated Package lets you bring your own trusted vendors—ideal for couples who value creative freedom. We’re flexible across all elements of your day, so your wedding can reflect your vision, your way.
?? Central Location
No need to whisk your guests away to a remote destination or worry about costly accommodation. The Decoy is moored right in the heart of Perth, with easy access to public transport, parking, and nearby amenities.
