Couldn’t recommend this venue enough! Abbie and Kaylah were always quick to respond to emails and reassured us that everything will work out perfectly.. and it did! We had the most magical day! This venue is a place where the sky is the limit, you can create your perfect day, whatever that may look like. All our guests raved about the food and set of up the venue. If you are looking for a venue that you can have the ceremony, have amazing photos and reception in the one place - this is it! We also had to change our wedding date 3 times due to covid and we wouldn’t of trusted any other venue to take care of us the way it the team at the shearing shed did! Highly recommend!

The Shearing Shed. I cannot express the kind of day our wedding was. IT WAS THE BEST DAY EVER! from day 1 of planning to the day of the wedding, no words can explain how fantastic our day actually was. Abbie, Kaylah and there team are absoulately incredible and our day is something that still gets spoken about. What we had invisioned and what was brought to life, was nothing but a dream. Thanks to you ladies. I will always recommend The Shearing Shed, the food, drinks, the venue itself. Stunning. Our day is something that lives rent free and it will still be the best day of our lives. Thanks again. Much love, Bernie and Billy. 🤍

As soon as we met the fabulous ladies at The Shearing Shed, my partner and I knew straight away that this was our place. Not only is the venue stunning, but their team were knowledgeable, reliable, and answered my unnending amount of questions. The services they provided leading up and including the wedding day made my lift so much easier and they genuinely took a burden off my shoulders when planning this wedding. The money is 100% worth spending at this venue and I don't regret a single dollar paid.

Eloping

Hi, we are looking to elope. Most packages we’ve seen for venues come with a celebrant and photographer. We’d like my partners brother to perform the ceremony but as he isn’t a registered celebrant we had looked at doing the legal bits during the week at the registry office. We also don’t require a photographer as we already have one from previous events we’d like to use again. Most elopement packages come with both of these things as a must have inclusion. Any suggestions??

The Shearing Shed - Phillip Island

Hi Emma,

Some venues give you the option of ceremony only hire which gives you use of the space for the ceremony without having all the elopement extras.

Please keep in mind that this is often limited in what days can be booked as days such as Thursday to Sunday are often reserved for weddings looking to book a full ceremony and reception package. 

Another alternative would be to find a public space (check to see if permits or permissions are required) and elope there with the people and vendors of your choosing. 

Very different options with very different cost points. The main thing to remember, it to stay true to what you want to creat efor your day.

We are happy to chat with you to discuss options available through The Shearing Shed.
