Wedding Ceremony Hire Perth: Arbor, Benches and Signing Table
Wedding ceremony hire in Perth should answer a simple question: where do we stand, where do they sit, and where do we sign. Great Celebrations delivers a white arbor, benches, a signing table and the bits that photograph around them — LOVE sign, umbrellas, a short aisle rug — then packs it down after the weekend.
The ceremony package is $450: eight benches, white arbor, signing table, 10 m aisle rug. Delivery is typically Thursday or Friday, collection Monday or Tuesday. Call 0405 667 848 or enquire at greatcelebrations.com.au.
What is in a Perth ceremony setup
You do not need a ballroom to have a proper aisle. A clean ceremony kit is:
White arbor (wedding arch) — the frame for vows and the hero photo
Benches — seating that looks intentional, not a raid on the dining chairs
Signing table — a dedicated spot for the register, pens and two witnesses
10 m aisle rug — in the $450 package, so the walk does not disappear into buffalo grass
LOVE sign — usually just off the arbor or behind the signing table
Umbrellas — Perth sun is not a styling choice; it is a health-and-makeup issue
That is the ceremony. Reception layers (dance floor, disco and speaker, festoon, barrels) can arrive on the same truck if the party stays in the same backyard.
Ceremony package $450 — who it fits
Eight benches seat a tight family group plus close friends. If you are at 30–40 seated for vows, this package is the right scale. Larger guest lists mean we talk about extra seating from what is free that weekend, or a standing overflow at the back.
The white arbor, signing table and aisle rug do the visual work even if some guests remain standing. We set the kit facing away from the worst of the afternoon glare where we can — in Perth that often means thinking about west-facing lawns in summer.
Backyard wedding Perth: vows then drinks in the same yard
Most of our ceremony jobs are backyards in suburbs from Ellenbrook to Applecross. The trick is not filling the lawn with furniture. A layout we use a lot:
Arbor at the far fence or under a tree, aisle rug leading in.
Eight benches in two short rows.
Signing table to one side, LOVE sign just behind or beside it.
Umbrellas over the front benches if vows are at 2 pm in February.
After the recessional, guests drift to barrels and stools and, if you want it, the slushy machine and eskies — light add-ons so the ceremony end of the garden can be reset mentally as “drinks.”
Festoon (around 900 m in the kit, reserved by the job, not an open reel) can stay dark during vows and come on for photos. Dance floor, disco and speaker wait until the ceremony photos are done.
The $700 backyard wedding package (four barrels, sixteen stools, lounge, 40 m festoon, umbrella) is the usual reception companion. Ask us to book ceremony $450 plus that package if you want vows and a cocktail hour without inventing a floorplan from scratch.
Beach, park and Cottesloe-style ceremonies
A Cottesloe, Swanbourne or City Beach ceremony lives or dies on shade and wind.
Arbor — still the focal point; we peg and weight for sea breeze
Benches — keep rows short so people can find the horizon
Umbrellas — non-negotiable for summer 11 am vows
Signing table — heavier styling, out of the sand blow if we can
LOVE sign — great in photos with the Indian Ocean behind, so long as it is weighted
Council and ranger rules are your job for public reserves; we hire and set on sites you are allowed to use. Private lawns behind beach houses are simpler.
Engagement-party “mini ceremonies” (promise readings, family blessings) use the same arbor and benches without the full aisle rug if space is tight.
Signing table, LOVE sign and umbrellas as the photo kit
Photographers in Perth will spend a surprising amount of time at the signing table. Give them:
a table that is not also the cake table
the LOVE sign as a backdrop at waist height
an umbrella if you are signing in full sun at 1 pm
The arbor stays in frame for couple portraits; benches give family groups somewhere to sit so not every shot is a huddle on the lawn.
Add-ons after the vows (keep them light)
Ceremony is the hero of this hire. After that, a few pieces earn their place:
Barrels and stools — a drinks landing so guests leave the aisle
Slushy machine and eskies — cold drinks without standing up a full bar
Festoon lighting — for the evening still in the same backyard
Dance floor, disco and speaker — once the formal bit is over

Weekend timing and what we need
Thursday or Friday we deliver and set. Saturday you marry. Monday or Tuesday we collect.
Send us:
suburb and a phone video of the lawn, beach house garden or park corner
ceremony time (sun angle matters)
approximate seated number
whether the same space becomes the reception
gate width and parking for the van
We will not pretend an arbor fits under a pergola that is 2.1 m high. We would rather shift the vows two metres left.
FAQ: wedding ceremony hire Perth
What is in the $450 ceremony package?
Eight benches, a white arbor, a signing table and a 10 m aisle rug, delivered and set for a Perth weekend hire (usually Thu/Fri in, Mon/Tue out). LOVE sign and umbrellas are the usual extras.
Can you do a backyard wedding ceremony and drinks in the same garden?
Yes. We set the arbor and benches for vows, then the same visit can include barrels and stools, umbrellas, and optionally slushy and eskies so guests move off the aisle. Festoon and a dance floor can wait until evening.
Do you hire a wedding arch in Cottesloe or only inland suburbs?
We deliver across Perth, including coastal lawns. Wind and council rules on public beaches are the variables — a private Cottesloe garden is straightforward; a public reserve needs your permits in place before we set an arbor.
