BYO Venues for Hire in Perth

BYO Venues Hire Guide

If you are looking to host an event in Perth but want to provide your own wine or beer, you will need to find a venue that offers BYO. A time-honoured custom in Australia, BYO allows customers to bring their own alcoholic beverages. Hand in hand with this option though comes the equally traditional “corkage” fee. This is basically a surcharge that is either applied per bottle or per person when you’re using the BYOB option. The cost of this corkage fee can vary widely, so it is important to ensure that you have read all of the fine print when undertaking any agreement with the venue! You might be lucky and find some venues that don’t charge these additional fees, so just use the ‘no corkage fee’ filter and see what’s in store. Self-catering venues can be subject to similar costs, so mark the ‘no buyout fee for external catering’ option to avoid them!

When hunting for self-catering and BYO venues in Perth, you will find a wide range of venues across the city, from intimate restaurants to large halls. Northbridge and East Perth are home to a variety of spaces, including bars, studios, and versatile event venues. You can even hire a museum or science centre for your BYO or self-catering event! West Perth and Leederville are also great areas to check out when looking for venues that allow BYO food and drinks. If you want to head away from the city centre and escape the hustle and bustle, Claremont and Osborne Park are some of the locations you might want to look into. There’s a variety of BYO venues in Perth, from large blank canvas spaces on the outskirts to charming function rooms and unique spots in the centre. Looking through them might seem daunting, but we’re here to help, so make use of the filters to narrow down the results, zoom into your location of choice on the map and start your search!

What kind of events can I organise at BYO venues in Perth?

BYO and self-catering venues are a great option for a variety of events. Parties of all kinds, including birthdays, engagement parties, and hen and bucks nights, are a very popular choice at these spaces. Providing your own food and drinks for a party has many advantages and they aren’t all budget related! While the selection of beverages at bars and clubs can be brilliant, it won’t fit everyone’s tastes, so bringing your own beverages is a great solution to make sure all guests are satisfied! More and more people are organising their weddings and wedding receptions in the BYO style. Many venues might charge more for catering and alcohol when they know it’s for a wedding, which is why self-catering has become so popular.
