A destination wedding is a superb way to begin a spectacular love story. Betrothed couples sometimes opt for a marvellous venue set out in nature, and if you happen to enjoy the wild forests of Western Australia (WA), Pemberton is a great place to wed. With places like Busselton and Margaret River less than two hours from Pemberton, this old timber town is a beautiful area from which to set out and discover Australia’s South West region after a luxury wedding at Ampersand Estates.
Why Visit Pemberton, WA?
Pemberton is a former timber mill town that has become a popular tourist attraction site due to the ancient Karri and Jarrah trees that are found nowhere else on the planet. The inland town is also near the coastline of the Southern Ocean, making it a wonderful stayover stop for anyone exploring the location. The climate is temperate with high rainfall nourishing the towering forests that form a canopy over much of the area. While the famous Margaret River wine region is located close by, Pemberton is still home to more grapevines. It is within this gorgeous environment that Ampersand Estates is located, a contemporary transformation of the old Donnelly River Wines. Our luxury setting in WA offers couples a DIY winery wedding venue where they can host their dream ceremony.
Our Unparalleled Offerings
If you are seeking a unique and exclusive wedding experience in WA, our venue is nothing short of impressive. Our estate is situated within Pemberton’s Karri Forest along the banks of the Donnelly River. Our luxury wedding venues offer phenomenal views across our Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines, wild bush and old tree growth, ponds, natural bush, and fields. This makes those picture-perfect snapshots possible, from sunset photographs in front of a tranquil lake to rustic and intimate portraits amongst the orchards. For those looking for WA accommodation for their guests, we offer three, luxury residences that are privately situated. Guests can choose between the Settler’s Cottage, a quaint cabin with two bedrooms, the convivial Homestead, and the opulent Vintner’s Residence with five ensuite bedrooms.
