Common questions

Where can I hold a wake in Perth?

This guide lists 60 Perth function venues: 25 clubs, 11 pubs, 9 hotels, 6 golf clubs, 2 surf clubs, 2 RSLs, 2 restaurants, 2 community halls and 1 function centre. Of these, 44 mention wakes, funerals or celebrations of life on their own website, and 17 have a dedicated wake or celebration of life page or package. Ten of those publish a wake package, price or free room offer. You can browse them by area: the northern suburbs, the inner city and western suburbs, south of the river, Fremantle, Rockingham and Mandurah, or the east and the Hills.

How much does a wake cost in Perth?

It depends on the room, the day, how many people come, and the food and drink. Some examples from the venues’ own price lists: Claremont Yacht Club’s Function Pack 2026 lists wake packages at $25, $30 or $35 a head. Swan Yacht Club’s Celebration of Life Package is $25 a person (standard) or $30 (premium), with complimentary venue hire. Hollywood Subiaco Bowling Club’s wakes page lists a Gold Package at $19.90 a person and a Platinum Package at $27.90 a person. At Ambrose Estate (Wembley Golf Course), the wake package lists room hire from $600 to $1,750, depending on the room and the day. In all, 50 of the 60 venues publish at least one price. See every published price in our wake cost guide, and confirm current prices with the venue.

Which Perth venues have a wake package?

These 10 venues publish a wake or celebration of life package, price or free room offer on their own website: Ambrose Estate (Wembley Golf Course), Claremont Yacht Club, Hillarys Yacht Club, Hollywood Subiaco Bowling Club, Joondalup Sports Association (JSA), The Left Bank, Marmion Angling & Aquatic Club (MAAC), Sorrento Bowling Club, Swan Yacht Club and Tradewinds Hotel. Another 7 have a dedicated wake or celebration of life page but no published wake price: The Cruising Yacht Club of WA; The Federal Hotel; Fremantle Sailing Club; Hotel Clipper; Nedlands Yacht Club; Royal Perth Yacht Club; and Royal Perth Yacht Club, Fremantle Annexe. See Perth venues with a wake package or wake page.

Can I hire a room for a wake for free?

Five venues say on their own websites that at least one room has no hire fee: Joondalup Sports Association (JSA) in Iluka offers complimentary venue hire for wakes; The Left Bank in East Fremantle offers its Brian’s Bar function area free of charge for wakes; Swan Yacht Club in East Fremantle includes complimentary venue hire in its Celebration of Life Package; Tradewinds Hotel in East Fremantle lists no venue hire for its Heritage Room and Garden Terrace; and The Windsor Hotel in South Perth says all its function spaces have no room hire fee. Food and drink are still charged, and conditions apply. See wake venues with free room hire for each venue’s exact words.

Can I hold a wake at a pub or a club?

Yes. This guide lists 25 clubs, 11 pubs, 9 hotels and 6 golf clubs. Pubs and hotels with a dedicated wake or celebration of life page or package include The Federal Hotel, Hotel Clipper, The Left Bank and Tradewinds Hotel. Clubs with one include Ambrose Estate (Wembley Golf Course); Claremont Yacht Club; The Cruising Yacht Club of WA; Fremantle Sailing Club; Hillarys Yacht Club; Hollywood Subiaco Bowling Club; Joondalup Sports Association (JSA); Marmion Angling & Aquatic Club (MAAC); Nedlands Yacht Club; Royal Perth Yacht Club; Royal Perth Yacht Club, Fremantle Annexe; Sorrento Bowling Club; and Swan Yacht Club.

How many people can a wake venue fit?

It varies a lot. Of the 60 venues, 42 publish a seated figure and 42 publish a standing figure. Of the 42 with a seated figure, 34 say they can seat 100 or more, and 13 can seat 200 or more. The numbers in this guide are the largest each venue publishes, usually for its biggest room, so ask about smaller rooms for a smaller wake. The guests filter above narrows the list by size.

Do wake venues have private rooms?

Most do: 58 of the 60 venues say they have a private room or space; the other 2 do not say. Some spaces are only semi-private, such as part of a bar, so ask whether the room is closed off from the public. Tick Private room in the filters above to see only venues that say they have one.

Can we bring our own food to a wake venue?

Many venues supply their own catering, and some do not allow outside food. These 11 venues say on their websites that you can bring your own food or caterer: Como Bowling and Recreation Club; Coogee Community Hall (City of Cockburn); Melville Bowling Club (Melville Bowls); Morley Noranda Recreation Club; Mount Lawley Bowling Club; Mullaloo Surf Life Saving Club; Perth Football Club, Lathlain Function Centre; Sorrento Bowling Club; Sorrento Surf Life Saving Club; Stirling Leisure, Karrinyup Community Centre (Community Hall); and Swan Italian Sporting Club. Check the kitchen rules and whether drinks must be bought from the venue.

What food is usually served at a wake?

Finger food is the most common. Of the 60 venues in this guide, 30 mention platters and 25 mention canapes, while 23 mention set menus and 19 mention buffets. Some wake packages spell it out: Claremont Yacht Club’s wake packages include sandwiches, platters and a tea and coffee station, and the Celebration of Life menu at Marmion Angling & Aquatic Club (MAAC) lists sandwiches, sushi, bruschetta, quiches and mini cakes.

How soon should I book a wake venue?

Call the venue as soon as you know the date of the funeral and roughly how many people are coming. Some venues in this guide ask for food orders, payment or final numbers some days before the event, so ask about their deadlines when you call. Your funeral director may also be able to help.

What is a celebration of life?

A celebration of life is a gathering to remember someone by sharing stories, photos, music, food and drink. It can follow a funeral, take the place of a formal service, or happen some time later. Many people use the words wake and celebration of life for much the same thing, and some venues in this guide call their wake package a celebration of life package.

How this guide works

Every detail comes from the venue’s own website or price list, linked on each listing, and was checked on 7 October 2026. Guest numbers are the largest the venue publishes, usually for its biggest room. Prices and rooms change, so call the venue before you book.
