The most beautiful wedding venue in Western Australia!! A stunning ceremony on the deck, meters away from the ocean, followed by guests mingling on the terrace and inside the stunning gallery. The entire day ran seamlessly. Thank you Joanna :-)

We had our wedding here on Saturday 12/04/25 and it was amazing. Everyone there really helped us through the process from day 1. We booked the venue back in January of last year and they helped with the drinks, the food, making sure the ceremony and after party all worked. The day itself was incredible. It’s such a beautiful place and the sunset was spectacular. I would recommend because it is a lovely place and they helped with every stage of the process.

Had a glorious time listening to Natalie Gillespie and Dave Brewer at one of the Kidogo winter soirees. Joanna does an amazing job of curating these brilliant events. The surrounds of the Kidogo Arthouse are unique, it's a beautiful atmosphere, warm and homely and yet magical too. Couldn't recommend these soirees more highly, there's nothing else like them anywhere in Perth.

My daughter chose this venue to cellebrate her wedding. It was gorgeous. A lovely place to make your vows to each other amongst the artworks and oldy worldy outlook and amongst family and friends. They were very happy and everyone had a lovely day despite the rain.

The perfect evening, a warm still night, postcard sunset, attentive audience, and wonderful, sensitive, heartfelt musicians led by the heart of Freo's music scene Lucky Oceans.

What a stunning venue with a range of options for all functions. We hired the Kidogo Arthouse decking space for our wedding ceremony and it was everything we could have imagined. Joanna was amazing to deal with from the moment we got in touch with her. Joanna made organising setting up the space stress free, as Kidogo offer a range of beautiful hire furniture and staff to assist in setting up and pack down. Can't thank Joanna and her team enough for helping to make our special day so perfect!

Couldn’t get a better venue, better music, better food or atmosphere. Second to none. The welcome from Joanna, and her passion for the arts is clear to see and you can feel it in the ambience of the art house. A favourite place to visit of ours, and it is an asset to the community. We will be planning many a return visit and love the variety of artistic endeavours that can be witnessed in the space.
Diane Baker (music event)
★★★★★
Simply a unique and world envied location with a management who work hard to host events befitting the backdrop. Soiree by the Sea was perfectly staged, well priced and we were all seated with enough space to move around. Joanna and her staff were interactive, friendly and professional and Reuben De Melo entertained us brilliantly for 2 hours with more talent than he realises ... let's see more of him please. Thank you Kidogo for an exceptional evening.
