Nestled in the heart of the Kimberley region, in beautiful Broome, our celebrations are not just ceremonies; they’re living expressions of tradition, heritage, and community.
At the heart of our weddings is the traditional Djugun/Yawuru smoking ceremony and the warm “Welcome to Country,” presided over by Djugun elder Patricia ‘Mamanyjun’ Torres.
This is not just a wedding; it’s a journey into the timeless traditions of this land.
Our ceremonies are more than vows; they are a dance between love and culture. The sacred smoking ceremony, a symbol of cleansing and purity, blesses the couple and surrounds them with the ancient wisdom of Country. As the smoke drifts around the newlyweds, it carries the blessings of generations and hope for a harmonious future.
Pat ‘Mamanyjun’ Torres, a respected elder, leads the ceremony with wisdom, warmth, and respect. You’ll not only be welcomed—you’ll be embraced by the land’s spirit and history.
This is more than a celebration; it’s a fusion of hearts, a tribute to heritage, and an invitation to walk on sacred ground. A wedding here unites two hearts with love, tradition, and the enduring spirit of the West Kimberley.

Jarndu Ngaank Tours
Jarndu Ngaank Tours are an Aboriginal women’s-led cultural immersion experience that will provide you a better understanding of Aboriginal culture from a senior cultural women Elder’s experience, that you can take back home and share your stories and insights with others.
Since colonisation, Aboriginal women’s voices have been suppressed as a result of historical injustices and male power has been more uplifted. For example, anthropologists and sociologists in times past when researching, only spoke to Aboriginal men and hence male perspectives have become more elevated in the research literature. Aboriginal women were considered to be subservient and thus it was hard for their voices to be heard.
In current times a women’s perspective is more valued and a women’s role is not just seen as an addendum. The Aboriginal women’s nurturing perspective is being brought to the forefront; they are protectors of cultural knowledge, stories and country. Jarndu Ngaank Tours are a means to right the balance, the female narrative of the tours amplifies the Aboriginal women’s voice as Carers and Custodians of the land.
