On a cool, clear night on Thursday 3rd August the historical Margaret River Cultural Centre welcomed the regions best small businesses for the 2017 Margaret River Business Awards. This year 52 local businesses submitted their entries into the 2017 Telstra Margaret River Region Business Awards, with high hopes of making their way up on stage to be rewarded for all their hard efforts.

Commencing with delicious canapés from Catering Margaret River, sparkling wine from Swings and Roundabouts and freshly brewed beer from the Brewhouse, finalist then made their way into the theatre and were treated to a delicious charcuterie board from Rustico at Hay Shed Hill. While guests were enjoying their entrees, the Margaret River High School Jazz Band helped everyone to settle into the evening before a jaw dropping aerial silks performance by the very talented ladies from Freespirit Trapeze and Volare. The main course from Settlers Tavern was a choice of mouthwatering chicken, beef or vegetarian dishes which were enjoyed by all. An mouthwatering chocolate and orange dessert constructed by South West Regional TAFE was a sensational way to finish the collaborative dinner. Accompanied by some of the region’s finest wine from Vasse Felix, Harman’s Estate and Cape Grace Wines, it’s safe to say that everyone was more than satisfied with attention to detail and hospitality throughout the evening.
