When planning an event, selecting the right venue is the first and most important decision you’ll make.

The space you choose influences the atmosphere, guest experience, styling, logistics and how memorable the event feels. At Cleaver Street & Co., we offer two purpose-built venues in different locations in West Perth, each with its own distinct character, aesthetic, and ideal use cases.

Cleaver Street Studio and Cleaver House both deliver flexibility, high-quality amenities, and a fully BYO approach, but they cater to different styles, demographics, and event requirements. This guide breaks down the key differences between the two and helps you determine which venue is the best fit for your occasion.

Cleaver Street Studio: A Relaxed, Creative, Plant-Filled Warehouse Space
