We had such a beautiful experience with the Old Court House. We opted for an elopement style ceremony with only our nearest and dearest, and a larger after party nearby. The package was fantastic, inclusive of our gorgeous celebrant, Robert. The whole afternoon was just US. Low-key yet elegant with the beautiful rooms and architecture of the court house. Thoroughly recommend!

On 1/11/2024 we were married by Aisha and had a long table set menu lunch at the Old Courthouse after, 28 people in total. The whole day exceeded our expectations the prep leading up to the big day was easy and stress free and the day went the exact same. any questions were answered fast and nothing was too difficult. Everyone loved the venue and the food. Could not fault the day at all

What a lovely day having our wedding at the Old Courthouse in beautiful Fremantle! Positive experience from start to finish, great communication with both the venue and celebrant. Would highly recommend for either small or large wedding. Ours was intimate and we loved the historic venue, beautiful colours of the room, including flowers and complete set up.

We attended the open day at the end of August and it blew away our expectations. In two months and a few emails the team at the Old courthouse/ Fremantle marriage office pulled together the most perfect and magical day for us. We got married Nov 20th 2024 - everything was included in the payment including our amazing celebrant Aisha. All paperwork was done seamlessly, the day went off without a hitch and even progressing out the back into the beer garden was an ease. They accommodated our every wish including on the day. If you are looking to elope or even a micro wedding like us this is the venue for you! They have a photographer they recommend that comes in and does his stuff, aswell as food and drink packages if you wanted a more sit down event. Beautiful location with the best team - I cannot thank the entire team enough for all their behind the scenes work to make sure our day was perfect. Thankyou ❤️

We had an intimate wedding at The Old Courthouse - the ceremony in the old courthouse itself and then lunch on the verandah area of the bar. It was the perfect setting for an informal wedding. Janine was an absolute pleasure to deal with in organising the details and everything went as requested on the day. The staff on the day were attentive and friendly. Our celebrant, Aisha, was just lovely and all our guests said how perfect the officiating was. The photographer, J.C. (J.C. Bridal) came recommended by the venue and was excellent. All in all, everything about planning the day was so easy thanks to TOC team and the day was exactly what we hoped for.
