Perth WakesA guide to wake venues in Perth

How much does a wake cost in Perth?

There is no set price. What you pay depends on the room, the day of the week, how many people come, and the food and drink. This page lists every price the venues in this guide publish on their own websites. Words in quotation marks are the venue’s own.

Prices are as published on 7 October 2026. They change, and many are marked as indicative or subject to change, so confirm with the venue before you book or pay a deposit.
