Questions about wakes in Perth’s northern suburbs

Which venues in Perth’s northern suburbs have a wake package or wake page?

Five venues in Perth’s northern suburbs publish a wake or celebration of life package, price or free room offer on their own website: Ambrose Estate (Wembley Golf Course), Hillarys Yacht Club, Joondalup Sports Association (JSA), Marmion Angling & Aquatic Club (MAAC) and Sorrento Bowling Club. See Perth venues with a wake package or wake page for the rest of Perth.

Which venues in Perth’s northern suburbs can hold the most people?

By the largest seated figure each venue publishes: Joondalup Resort (450 seated), Scarborough Sports and Community Club (260 seated) and Wanneroo Villa Tavern (250 seated). These are usually for the venue’s biggest room, so ask about smaller rooms for a smaller wake.

Is there free room hire for a wake in Perth’s northern suburbs?

Yes. Joondalup Sports Association (JSA) offers complimentary venue hire for wakes. Food and drink are still charged. See wake venues with free room hire for each venue’s exact words.

How much does a wake cost in Perth’s northern suburbs?

16 of the 18 venues in Perth’s northern suburbs publish prices on their own website. Prices depend on the room, the day, guest numbers, and food and drink, so each venue page quotes them in full. See also how much a wake costs in Perth.
