Mardella Meadows is situated on a family farm of over 100 acres in the peaceful area of Mardella, 35 minutes from Perth CBD. The land is a long-established plot and has been a family farm for many years, with its official papers dating well before local shire records.
The property has a long and diverse history of farming. At one time, it was a successfully run horse training stable. The property’s farming history has been retained as much as possible and the original horse barn has been refurbished to what is now known as the ‘Mardella Meadows Barn’. All other outbuildings have been retained in their original form as much as possible.
Secluded Celebrations at the Meadow Venue
Available exclusively for hire, Mardella Meadows promises complete privacy and tranquillity for life’s very special events. As one of Perth’s most unique function venues, we are set within the heart of our property’s farmland and offer an experience that is intimate, relaxed and perfectly tailored to your celebration. While we may be tucked away from the hustle and bustle, at Mardella Meadows we provide everything you would expect from a city events venue… and more.
Couples drawn to a meadows venue usually want the same things: space, privacy, and a setting that feels genuinely rural rather than styled to look that way. Our wedding catering Perth team works regularly at this property, so we know the grounds, the access points and the timings well enough to keep service running smoothly from the first canapé through to the last course.
Perfect Backdrops Across the Mardella Grounds
Our expansive grounds are encircled by picturesque gardens, mature trees, romantic hedges and beautiful established buildings. Alpacas, cattle, sheep and horses roam the neighbouring meadows. Perfectly positioned on the western border of the West Australian coast, our sunsets are simply breathtaking while after dark – the starry skies are your canopy and feature trees are illuminated by accent lights, creating an ambience that is elegant and romantic.
That rural setting shapes how we build a menu here. Long summer evenings suit grazing stations and share plates guests can return to between speeches, while cooler months call for something heartier served closer to the barn. Either way, the food is planned around the way people actually move through an outdoor property, rather than a fixed sit-down format.
Catering at the Meadow Wedding Barn
The refurbished horse barn is the natural centre of most celebrations here, and it shapes the practical side of catering just as much as the atmosphere. If you’re planning a seated reception inside the Meadow Wedding Barn or a relaxed cocktail evening spilling out onto the surrounding lawns, our team handles the setup, service and pack-down so you can stay with your guests. We can also supply hire equipment for the day, from tables and chairs through to glassware and styling.

Common questions
What does catering at Mardella Meadows typically involve?
Menus and service are shaped around the property’s rural setting, moving between the Meadow Wedding Barn and the surrounding grounds depending on the season and time of day. Our team plans logistics like access, power and timings specific to an outdoor venue like this, so there’s less for you to coordinate before the day.
How many guests can the Meadow Venue hold?
Mardella Meadows accommodates up to 250 guests. We build menus and service styles to suit the full range, from smaller gatherings through to larger receptions using the whole property.
What catering styles suit a farm property like this?
Very well, though the right style depends on the season and guest count. Warmer months favour lighter, shareable formats that hold up outdoors, while cooler evenings usually move service closer to the barn, our team can talk through what’s worked best at previous events here.
How far is Mardella from Perth CBD?
The property sits roughly 35 minutes from Perth CBD in the Mardella area, which is close enough for guests to travel easily while still feeling genuinely removed from the city.
