OUR HISTORY

BUCKLAND ESTATE is a Stately Victorian Georgian manor which was established in 1836 and completed in 1874. At the time it was established Buckland Estate was recognised as one of the largest private buildings in the Colony. It has a colourful history as a social centre for the Avon Valley, National and International dignitaries to come together.

Today it is a private residence set on 21 hectares and is located about 100 kilometres east of Perth in the Avon Valley between Northam and Toodyay. The owners are experienced in weddings, events and accommodation and offer many options for your wedding or event.

With stunning views in every direction, the property offers many location options for your ceremonies, pre-reception drinks and receptions, all with stunning countryside and homestead views.

It also boasts two separate cottages for the bridal party or guests plus another five bedrooms in the main homestead and various glamping options with a large pool in the backyard.

WHERE IS BUCKLAND ESTATE LOCATED?

In the Avon Valley East of Perth at 986 Irishtown Road, Buckland 100 kms from Perth - 10 kms from Northam - 22kms from Toodyay. Perth airport is around 75 min. from the property and there is also a small plane air strip in.

IS THERE ROOM TO PARK AND TURN COACHES / BUSES?

We have plenty of parking, room to turn and park coaches, plus a separate road into the property so we can keep all vehicles away from your ceremony and reception areas. We will arrange signage etc. to assist your guests.

CAN I HAVE A MARQUEE WEDDING ON YOUR PROPERTY?

Yes as an alternative to our large sheltered Wedding Barn, this is also a good option and even during the warmer months the nights cool down quickly to a very comfortable temperature. See site plan for suggested marquee location, or other options may include paddocks and lakeside. The stars out here are stunning. (See property map for location page 11 )

WHAT OTHER LOCATION OPTIONS DO YOU HAVE?

It depends on the time of the year and the number of guests you are looking at and we would be happy to show you our many options from the vast lawn areas, farm paddocks, lakeside areas, wedding barn, verandah’s or rear courtyard areas.

pricing.

DO YOU ALLOW DECORATIONS?Yes, we welcome your individual decorations, furnishings, fabrics, flowers, candles in jars and lighting. We do not allow anything to be applied to the walls or building that will cause damage. We love rose petal confetti but do not allow confetti, fireworks, party poppers or silk rose petals, etc as they stain the stonework.

DO YOU HAVE SUFFICIENT POWER OR DO WE NEED A GENERATOR?

We have 2 separate Western Power meters that we can use but these are only 2 phase. If your band or caterers require excessive power then it may be beneficial to rent a generator, however most caterers have their own.

ARE WE ALLOWED TO BRING DOGS?

Yes, especially if you wish to use them as your ring bearer! They can sleep inside the cottages but no access into the Homestead.

IS THERE A NOISE RESTRICTION?

Although we do not have a closing restriction time we are bound by local council noise levels which you need to abide by. But generally we request music to be softer from 12.30am so you can continue.
