This is a bit of a silly question but I don't know where else to ask and get an accurate answer.
I live in Canada but am getting married in Perth later this year. We are hoping for an outdoor ceremony and reception at either Little Creatures Brewery or Royal Freshwater Yacht Club. I have been told a few times that December although beautiful is the windiest time of year in Perth. Is this true or are people over reacting? I understand Perth is just generally quite windy at times.
Do you think sitting outside at Little Creatures or RFYC would certainly be a wild and windy affair? Should I just move my wedding to January and will it be calmer then? Surely those few weeks won't make that much difference?
I understand no one can predict the weather, I just don't want all the details so I can make an informed decision.
Thanks
I got married outdoors in Perth in March and it was still too windy then. Choosing between December and January won't make a difference. The ceremony and reception were in well sheltered areas though, so it was ok, that's what you have to get right. I did take everyone onto the beach briefly for photos and still haven't heard the end of it. The girls never did manage to get their hairdos quite right again after that.
Little Creatures is pretty exposed, though if you use that outdoor pavilion thingy they've put up in the last couple of years it might provide some protection. The yacht club has a bit more natural protection in the lee of Mosman Park, but if you're more outdoors there than the Creatures pavilion you might get more wind anyway.
Go the Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club option - They can cater for any wind or weather type! And defintely the most superb function setting in Perth!!**

The sun will definatly be out it will be warmish but if in th arvo will be windy. But little creatures is nice. Good beer good food sunny but there is always wind. Google earth it there is some wind protection.
"later this year..." which means that you have enough time to get some windsurfing lessons before coming over - then it's never "too windy"!
Ok so December is no windier than Jan or Feb. My family are telling me there are sailing races and wind surfing competitions are often in December as it's the windiest time of year. I guess they could happen year round not just December.
Would it be a bad decision to have the ceremony on Monument Hill in Freo or Heathcote Reserve in Applecross?
Another option was The White Elephant in Gnarabup but everyone said I was crazy, we would be blown away as it's right on the beach.
Hmm feeling quite torn. Thanks for your help everyone :)
Cant believe your worried about getting blown on your wedding day, should be a given.
Get married in the morning should be ok, reception inside, will be hot outside anyway. Jan will be much of the same.

If you want best view in Perth look at that one, can provide for hot, cold, windy, rainy have full bar and catering, they have the ceremony outside with ocean view on a grassed area, go to the beach (2min walk) for pics and reception inside with full bar facility!
I am a member there! Great place!

December and January will be very similar as far as wind concerns.
Therefore moving the wedding will not make a difference.
What does make the difference is that you kiss your bride goodbye and go windsurfing.
You should ride it when it swells.
Come back in April to get married when the wind starts to drop. 
Whilst Dec and Jan is windy and that's why we all love it, it is not wndy every day (pity).
You will get one of 3 options
- stong easerly in the morning which will fade out but still be what most people call strong (and we dont) and it could be not really wedding weather. That will make it hot like 35 - 40deg but at least with the breeze it will be OK
- not much wind in the morning but a screaming southerly seabreeze at midday onwards. We hope. That makes it cool like 25-30deg
- almost zero wind and 40 - 45deg.
In Dec the probability of those 3 would be say 40% - 40% and 20% respectively.
Your best option is Freshie Bay yacht club. In a screaming easterly it is sheltered enough - you can do outside stuff like pics etc on the lee side of the building. In a seabreeze even more so. If you get no wind and 45deg at least there is plenty of trees. Around Little Creatures has no shade so everyone will hide inside if it is hot, while u suffer thru pics in the sun.
Monument hill has NONE of those shelter options and I would only plany anything there for abotu 3 months of the year, the other 9 it would be sh!t.

If you invite all your windsurfing friends ,it will definitely be the windiest day of the month , and they will be looking out the window all day
I got married in January at Little Creatures, just a small ceremony upstairs. Given it was on short notice, the manager there was fantastic and really helpful. We picked a humid 40 degree day to do it, so I've got a nice sheen in most of the pics, a seabreeze would have been welcome.
The usual reception venue at Little Creatures is the Marquee outside, so wind wouldn't effect you too much in there. Morning ceremony should beat the seabreeze?
