The venue was Swanbrook Winery & Cafe, which we chose because we know the owners. It wasn't to get "mate's rates" or "pengyou price" - it was purely because I knew they'd take great care of us. Not because we're mates necessarily, but mainly because they're good people. Add on that I love Swanbrook's look and we had a winner here pretty much from day dot. Here's a quick review of our experiences in having Swanbrook as our wedding/reception venue here in Perth.
