Mulberry Estate hosts corporate seminars, weddings, school balls and social events in six function spaces, for groups from 30 guests up to 400 cocktail style. The estate sits at 34 Hamersley Road in Caversham, in the Swan Valley north-east of Perth, with views over the Swan River.
Seminars and company events
The estate markets itself for corporate seminars and events, with indoor and outdoor spaces to choose from. Rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows facing the river and the gardens, which gives seminars daylight and a view rather than a windowless boardroom. Menu packages can be customized. School balls, dinner dances, graduations and staff Christmas parties are also regular business here, and the team can match a room to any guest count. A Christmas lunch is scheduled in several sessions on December 25.
Weddings and receptions
Ceremonies and receptions can both be held on the estate, or the reception alone. The venue states that it handles weddings from 30 guests to 400. Reception inclusions cover a private area for pre-dinner drinks and canapes with cocktail tables, round or long banquet tables with white chairs, glassware, cutlery and crockery, tablecloths and napkins, a bridal table, a dance floor in the function rooms, a cake table and cake cutting. The team coordinates bookings for a DJ, band, photo booth, lighting, furniture, festoon lighting and AV hire. In-house floral and styling and a winter and midweek wedding offer are listed.
