Country Charm | Victoria’s Party Farm Wedding Venue
The Shearing Shed doesn’t just show up to a party — it brings the good vibes, makes people feel right at home, and leaves everyone talking long after the lights go out. It’s the wedding venue Victoria turns to when it’s time to throw a real celebration.
Wedding venue hunt driving you mad? We’ve got the cure.

Meet Abbie - Boss Lady, Hype Woman & Chief Celebration Coordinator
Hey, I’m Abbie - owner of The Shearing Shed and proud professional third wheel at hundreds of epic weddings. I’m the one behind the scenes making sure your big day runs smoother than a well-poured espresso martini.
What started as a family-run Phillip Island wedding venue (well, it still is…) has grown into a full-blown celebration station. I’ve been here for the ride - and the dancefloor antics - every step of the way. From wrangling timelines to hyping you up for your aisle strut, I’m here to make sure your day feels just like you: laid-back, love-filled, and unforgettable.
No cookie-cutter weddings here - just good vibes, honest chats, and a team that genuinely gives a damn. If you’re searching for a wedding venue in Victoria that feels like family, you’ve found it. Let’s do this thing.

The Family behind the fun
Running The Shearing Shed isn’t a one-woman show - this gig’s got a whole family behind it.
You might spot my husband, Scott, around the place - he’s usually knee-deep in dirt running his civil construction biz, but he’s been known to jump in and fix a fence or move a bar fridge when needed. He’s the quiet achiever who keeps things running behind the scenes (and occasionally reminds me to take a break).
Then there are our teenage daughters - official canapé taste-testers, dancefloor critics, and sometimes-waitstaff if you’re lucky. If you catch them at your wedding, they’ll be bringing the energy, the snacks, and probably a cheeky story about growing up around 200+ strangers every weekend.
The Shearing Shed is our family home as much as it is your Phillip Island wedding venue - and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Built on love, laughter and a few too many late nights cleaning confetti, it’s a place that feels alive because it’s lived in - a home that just happens to host the best parties in Victoria.
Weddings Hit Different Out Here
Think the Yarra Valley or Mornington Peninsula are the only kids on the block when it comes to epic weddings? Think again.
Just a couple of hours from Melbourne, Phillip Island is the underrated star of the show - country, coastal, and full of character. It’s where ocean breeze meets open space, golden hour hits different, and the celebrations roll long into the night.
Sure, we’re not as Insta-famous (yet), but that’s exactly the point. Getting married at a Phillip Island wedding venue like The Shearing Shed means your day actually feels like yours - not the copy-paste version you’ve seen on repeat this season.
We’re part of a new wave of wedding venues in Victoria - relaxed, real, and designed for couples who care more about connection than convention. Whether you’re dreaming of a Gippsland wedding with rustic touches or a modern coastal celebration, The Shearing Shed has you covered.
Come for the views. Stay for the party. Leave with the kind of wedding story your guests will still be talking about next year.
