The Lower Courtyard

The largest of the spaces is the Lower Courtyard which can comfortably accommodate a marque on the paving. With space for up to 140 guests for a sit-down meal and 200 guests for a cocktail event. As a Lamont’s Bishop House wedding photographer, I love the way the garden is lit up under the stars, that coupled with the elegant long tables gives the look of an Italian Villa or French chateau wedding.

The Main Level

For medium size wedding celebrations, the Main Level is a versatile space. The partition dividing Dining Room’s 1 & 2 can be opened to create a larger space for exclusive use of the whole main floor and balcony. Polished wood floors, light interiors and elegant French doors flood the room with tons of natural light and as we know ‘natural light’ are the words that all Perth wedding photographers want to hear! The main level has capacity for 30 guests for a sit-down meal and 70 for a drink’s reception.
