OVERVIEW

Nestled in Blackwood River Valley, boutique wedding venue, Dalmore Farm, proudly showcases the country charm and character of this historic region. Surrounded by expansive paddocks, creeks, and rivers, Dalmore Farm is the perfect place for an elegant, rural wedding: It has two stunning ceremony sites, a rustic ‘shed’ reception space, options for DIY and BYO weddings, and welcomes fur babies.

If you’ve always envisioned a breathtaking country wedding for yourself, complete with rolling hills, rocky vistas, old oak trees, and burbling creeks, then Dalmore Farm will be a dream come true. This historic, farm wedding venue is set on more than 250 acres of diverse land, offering complete tranquillity on your wedding day. More than that, it allows for some incredibly beautiful sights - both natural and man-made. 

While the velvety Blackwood River Valley hills are certainly stars of the show, the newly-restored old buildings and historical sites are positively stunning, too. In particular, the Shearing Shed is divine, with owners Danny and Emilie completely making over this space for their own wedding. 

The beautifully renovated Shearing Shed provides “modern convenience without losing antiquated charm”. Complete with hardwood floors, festoon lighting, cream-white walls with wooden features, and a series of bespoke ceiling fans - it’s a great fit for rustic weddings, country themes, and elegant occasions alike. Ceremonies, on the other hand, are either held in the flowery canopy of the pear orchard or in the back paddock - below majestic gum trees and surrounded by granite boulders. 

Situated just 15 minutes from Bridgetown, WA, this BYO wedding venue is the perfect place to say ‘I do’ and take in a beautiful Australian landscape.

What you’ll love about working with Dalmore Farm for your South West WA wedding:

  • Flexible, BYO wedding venue. Dalmore Farm allows couples to bring in their own choice of caterers and drinks. However, they’re also more than happy to point you in the direction of their preferred caterers if you need some ideas.
  • Quiet country setting. This historic property is absolutely breathtaking, and boasts rolling hills as far as the eye can see, majestic oak trees, babbling creeks, and rocky vistas.
  • Beautiful on-site accommodation. Couples can indulge in plush, on-site accommodation at Dalmore Farm, with the lovely farm estate and historic, renovated Workman’s Cottage available for guests. Glamping packages are also available for up to 40 additional guests.
  • Exclusive. Dalmore Farm only hosts 25 weddings each year and never book back to back.  By limiting their number of weddings, they can put the time and energy into making each celebration truly memorable and ensure that couples can relax and enjoy their time on the farm.

We can also assist couples in arranging their celebrant/ entertainment/ photographer and cake... We have some wonderful locally based vendors here in the SW and can help couples in arranging whatever services they require. 

We are far enough out of town for it to feel like you are the only people in the world but close enough to make your celebration convenient for your guests. We're about 15 kilometres out of town. We work with a superb bus service who can safely transport all of your guests to and from Dalmore so that they don't have to drive. Bridgetown has a great many beautiful accommodation options on offer and we provide our couple with a printout of "Great Places to Stay" that they can pass along to family and friends. 

Of course!

We happen to have a great many photogenic animals here at Dalmore and they absolutely love the chance to pose with you. Except for the geese... The geese hate everybody. Our ducks, horses, goats, pigs and dogs are lovely though and just as beautiful!

Emilie and Dan were fantastic. From the very start Emilie made us feel at ease. We wanted a simple but elegant country wedding and Dalmore definitely delivered. Emilie was great with communication and following up on everything we requested. Nothing was too much trouble for the Dalmore Team. Can not thank Emilie, Dan and their team enough. We had a choice of locations for our vows and we chose on top of the hill, with sweeping views of the beautiful hilly landscape as our backdrop. We have amazing photos. Emilie organised everything down to a tea. From our flowers, catering, cart ride for our guests to the ceremony site and the set up for the vows and reception. could not fault anything. We are so glad we chose Dalmore for our wedding. Thank you so much for making it a stress free lead up and day.

Absolute perfection. We could not recommend Dalmore Farm enough. Emilie and Dan are absolute legends. They made sure everything ran smoothly before, during and after the wedding. It was exactly what we envisioned for our day. The location, the scenery, the decorations, the florals, the staff were perfection! Emilie did such an amazing job to make sure the location was in immaculate condition. Communication with Emilie was always prompt, helpful and she took care of everything. We had so many compliments on our venue and we could not recommend them highly enough!

I had my wedding at Dalmore farm 3 weeks ago and it was absolutely amazing! The venue is stunning and both Em and her husband are amazing people who go above and beyond to make sure your wedding day is beyond perfect! Every single guest commented on how stunning the venue was and how much of a relaxed vibe it gave off. I couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else! Our day was absolutely magical and that is all down to the stunning venue, amazing staff and beautiful owners. I couldn't recommend Dalmore farm enough!

Oh, thank you for this gorgeous review, Tenniele! We so loved every aspect of your wedding. It was such a wonderful way for us to start this years spring season and such a privilege to be a part of your wedding weekend! Your guests were simply fantastic (and fun!) and everything about your weekend was an absolute pleasure for us as hosts. We can't wait to welcome you guys back for that anniversary stay... 😉 xx

May 2021

Dalmore farms offered us the use of their Farm for the reception in a modern shearing shed cum formal venue, and their farming hill top for the ceremony. Emilie organised the most difficult parts of venue setup, decorations, transport around the site, and accommodation for us on the weekend. They are a professional couple (her and her husband) that have a perfect location for those after romantic rustic country settings. High recommend.

What a lovely surprise to find this review here today! Thank you, Tyson and Tala. We loved hosting your celebration and wish you both every happiness in the years to come. We would love to welcome you, Rod and Sogi back anytime. xx

Is it possible to have an all inclusive wedding reception for 100 people for $15,000 or less

Ideally want a cocktail style reception with a DJ for entertainment. Do not want a rustic style wedding venue.

Dalmore Farm

It is always possible for couples to find wedding venues to suit their budgets- the important thing is to be realistic about what your budget will achieve and recognise when your wish list exceeds your reality (which can be hard!). At Dalmore, a $15,000.00 all-in budget would not be sufficient to cover a wedding of 100 people but there are other venues that would certainly suit such a budget. Additionally, while Dalmore is an elegant country estate, it is a heritage-listed coutry estate- and would not suit couples who are looking for a very modern aesthetic or an urban vibe.   

What happens if Covid forces lockdown on the week of our wedding?

Dalmore Farm

This is such a huge anxiety for so many of our couples these days. At Dalmore, we are doing everything we can to assist you in planning your wedding with confidence. If there does happen to be a lockdown enforced during the week of your wedding, we will help you in rescheduling everything for a later date. Should we be unable to find an appropriate later date, we will refund your venue deposit. Weddings are a serious financial commitment for most couples and we understand how devastating losing a venue deposit can be. We want you to be able to book your event at Dalmore with confidence.
