In order to ensure the success of your event, we will choose a suitable location for you. Finding the right venue is only half the fight; knowing what works and what doesn’t will determine the success of your event.
In many ways, a warehouse is like to a blank canvas. The lines and wrinkles on their faces may tell a fascinating tale. From leaving it blank and bare and filling it with candlelight to getting creative with florals, furniture, and décor or even transforming the space into something completely different, modern aesthetics are well-suited to the neutral tones that come through the cement floors, the paint peeling walls, and the high ceilings.
If you’re planning a meeting or conference in Perth, Australia, we’ve done the legwork for you by compiling our favourite alternative spaces and warehouse venues for everything from intimate gatherings to large conferences with up to 600 attendees. Some of Perth’s most interesting and spacious warehouses are available for rent via Ultimo, and we’ll work with you to choose the one that’s most suited to impress your visitors.

Old Pickle Factory
The Old Pickle Factory is just one of several renovated warehouses in West Perth that are perfect for individuals seeking a central location with an industrial vibe. This venue is a clean slate with all the amenities you may need to host a successful event, including a kitchen, two bars, and a covered patio that can accommodate up to 300 guests.
An ancient warehouse, The Old Pickle Factory was renovated into an industrial-chic event area that could accommodate up to 300 guests. The venue’s original features, such as the exposed brick walls, polished concrete floors, and soaring ceilings, capture the essence of its historic past.
This venue is perfect for weddings, receptions, and other special events that want a sophisticated, rustic setting. Whether you’d like a custom menu designed by our talented event planners or one of our pre-made catering packages, we’re here to help.
Fridays Studio
This New York-style warehouse is a photography studio by day and a hip hangout for up to 250 revellers after dark, located just a stone’s throw from the Old Pickle Factory. If you’re like the warehouse aesthetic, you’ll appreciate the high ceilings, exposed brick walls, and massive windows.
West Perth’s Old Aberdeen Place is home to a photography studio that looks straight out of a warehouse in New York. It has been recently refurbished by Ian and Erick into a blank slate with distinctive white textured walls, polished concrete floors, and extensive portions of exposed brickwork. For serious studio photography and movie needs, there are two main studio sections with Profoto lights and a massive L-shaped cyclorama.

Cleaver Street & Co.
Cleaver Street, like Fridays Studio and the Old Pickle Factory but with a capacity for only 100 guests, is conveniently located nearby. Located in yet another converted warehouse, this venue boasts an upscale wood-paneled built-in BYO bar as well as several plants for an earthy feel. These people have made a coworking environment that is bright and airy, which is a nice counterpoint to the more industrial atmosphere that typically prevails during the day. Cleaver Street & Co. is a former factory that has been transformed into a daytime art workshop and an evening venue in the spirit of a vintage warehouse. Cleaver Street & Co is a spacious and light-filled event hall in West Perth, ideal for any kind of business or social gathering. There are several potted plants and floor plants strewn over the room, creating the ideal blank canvas. Cleaver Street & Co has enough space for up to 100 guests for a standing reception or 60 people for a seated dinner.
Vin And Flower
You may go to Vin and Flower in Northbridge in little time at all by simply making a few small hops. Another blank canvas location, this one is on Newcastle Street and can be transformed to fit any theme. The raw concrete flooring and whitewashed brick walls are typical of warehouse design, but this place takes it to a whole new level with its amazing pitched ceiling and adorable bricked patio. The cocktail furniture, crew, audiovisual equipment, finishing kitchen, and fully stocked bar are just a few of the extras Vin and Flower provide to make your occasion really memorable. What else could you want from a place that’s so near to the centre of town?
With its bare concrete flooring, neutral white walls, and fully-equipped bar and kitchen, Vin & Flower is a unique jewel among Perth venues thanks to its ideal blend of urban industrial and modern aesthetics. A courtyard setting is available, and up to 200 guests may be accommodated. It is open seven days a week and can host a wide variety of events, including weddings, business gatherings, social parties, product launches, workshops, and cultural events.
Because of its blank slate nature, the venue may be customised to suit your event’s specific aesthetic, down to the flowers, decorations, and lighting. All pets are welcome. Pets are welcome at Vin & Flower.
Vin & Flower has an events staff to help with all the details of your big day so that you can relax and enjoy it. Having Ultimo on board to handle the event’s food and service is a no-brainer.
Moana Hall
This landmark structure, originally constructed in 1908 and recently renovated, is a crown gem of the central business district. It’s not the place for someone looking for a quiet retreat; this area is dramatic, spectacular, and romantic. The antique cornices on the floor-to-ceiling windows provide an elegant touch of the past, and the well-stocked bar will make sure your guests never go thirsty.
Perth City Farm
We’ll admit it: a warehouse is appealing to us. Can you blame us for being excited about Perth City Farm? The non-profit community environmental centre City Farm has a variety of rustic warehouse and barn rooms, a beautiful courtyard, and a fully equipped commercial kitchen, making it an ideal venue for any event, especially those with a focus on sustainability. All all, you can host up to 400 guests in the Barn and courtyard, and the venue offers flexible three-day hire packages so that you don’t have to worry about planning in a hurry.
Guildhall

Guildhall can accommodate up to 120 guests, and it is affiliated with several fantastic event organisations that can handle all the organising for you.
Montgomery Hall
We know you’ve seen classic venues before, but Montgomery Hall will blow your mind.

Possibly the most impressive facility in all of Perth, this massive hall seats a full 150 people and was originally constructed as a dining hall and theatre.

Fig and olive trees, white-flowering rosemary and bougainvillaea, gentle sloping grassy mounds, and crushed limestone aggregate form a courtyard in the ‘Yard’ area. You may set up bars here for guests to enjoy while they wait, or divide the room into smaller sections for more intimate gatherings.
Whether you’re looking for a casual burger station or a formal sit-down dinner for your wedding, Ultimo is delighted to accommodate your catering needs.
Old Customs House
With its intact architecture and historical significance, the West End of Freo is home to the Old Customs House, which was formerly used as an art space but has now opened its doors to the public for events. This is fantastic news since there has been a dearth of hip venues that can accommodate gatherings of up to 500 people. Simply put: skylight. An enormous hole in the roof lets in a plenty of natural light, making the whole space seem and appear EPIC.
Pass
The West End of Fremantle is also home to the Pakenham Street Art Space gallery. It’s a large, open, upscale gallery with an authentic Freo feel; it’s dramatic, brooding, and perfect for cold-weather gatherings. It’s gloomy as hell in here, so if you want your images and movies to appear good, get a stylist who can set up some additional lighting.
