Why Couples Choose Art of Seafood for Their Wedding

Perth has no shortage of waterfront wedding venues. What makes Art of Seafood different is everything that happens beyond the view.

A Ceremony Setting Unlike Any Other in Perth

Most venues offer a room or a garden. Art of Seafood offers three distinct ceremony settings, including one that no other Perth wedding venue can match.

  • On the jetty, say your vows literally over the Swan River, surrounded by water on all sides
  • In the gardens, a beautiful outdoor garden ceremony with the river as your backdrop
  • Indoors, an elegant riverside ceremony inside our award-winning dining room

Whether you envision a ceremony on the water, under open sky, or in a warm and intimate interior, Art of Seafood has a setting that brings that vision to life.

Arrive by Boat, Perth's Most Memorable Bridal Entrance

Imagine arriving at your wedding by boat. Not as a gimmick, but as a genuinely beautiful, romantic moment that your guests will remember as long as the day itself.

Art of Seafood works with a local jet boat tour company to offer bridal river arrivals, the bride, the bridal party, or the whole wedding group arriving at the venue directly from the Swan River. Step off the boat and onto your waterfront wedding. There is nothing else like it in Perth.

  • Bride arrives by boat along the Swan River directly to the venue
  • Bridal party river arrival options available
  • River tour experience before arriving, for the bridal party or guests
  • Coordinated entirely through our events team

The Food Is the Centrepiece

At most wedding venues, the catering is an afterthought. At Art of Seafood, it’s the heart of the experience. Every wedding menu is built around 100% fresh Western Australian seafood, no imported produce, no frozen shortcuts.

  • All lobsters are live, brought in fresh and prepared to order
  • Oysters shucked fresh daily in our kitchen
  • Fish butchered in-house by our head chef every single day
  • Seasonal WA produce, sourced with sustainability in mind
  • Fully bespoke wedding menus, crafted around your tastes, your guests, and your day

Award-Winning & Trusted

Art of Seafood is a Gold Plate Award Winner 2025, a recognition of the quality and care we bring to every dining experience. Your wedding guests will feel that from the first canapé to the final toast.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many guests can Art of Seafood accommodate for a function?

All three settings have the Swan River as their backdrop. Your celebrant is welcome to work in any of these spaces.

Can the bride arrive by boat?

Yes, and it's one of the most memorable things a couple can do at Art of Seafood. We work with a local jet boat tour company to arrange bridal river arrivals, where the bride or bridal party travels along the Swan River and arrives at the venue directly by boat. Ask our events team about incorporating this into your wedding day.

Can guests arrive by boat?

Yes, and it's one of our most popular additions for special occasions. We work with a local jet boat tour company who can take your group on a Swan River tour before arriving directly at Art of Seafood by water. Ask our events team about incorporating this into your function.

What is the Lam Thi table?

The Lam Thi is Art of Seafood's Chef's Table, our most exclusive and intimate dining experience, seating 8 to 12 guests. It's a fully personalised, chef-led dining experience ideal for milestone birthdays, client entertainment, and special celebrations where the focus is entirely on the food and the company.
