Thinking of Eloping (or Shrinking the Guest List)?
Big weddings aren’t for everyone. Some couples love the idea of 120 guests tearing up the dance floor, others just want their ride-or-die crew, a whole lot of romance, and zero stress. And honestly? We get it.
Here at The Shearing Shed, we host celebrations of all shapes and sizes. From all-in, raise-the-roof parties to intimate “just us (and a handful of legends)” moments. And thanks to our collab with The Micro Wedding Co., we’ve made planning a small-but-mighty wedding easier than saying “I do.”
Why Couples Are Downsizing
Cost of living reality check. Smaller guest list = smaller spend, without cutting the quality.
Less stress, more feels. Fewer people to wrangle means you actually get to enjoy the day.
Authenticity. If you don’t want to spend your wedding shaking hands with distant cousins you haven’t seen since you were 12, you don’t have to.
Destination vibe. Phillip Island already feels like a getaway, so why not keep it cosy, relaxed, and all about you?
What You Get With a Micro Wedding
Think of it as the best of both worlds: all the luxe details of a full wedding but streamlined. With The Micro Wedding Co. in your corner, you’ve got a team that pulls together everything from florals and photography to styling and coordination. And with us at The Shearing Shed, you’ve got ceremony spaces (indoor Barn or outdoor Billabong), a reception that flows seamlessly into the Shed, and all the catering, drinks, and staff to keep the party rolling.
It’s basically a one-stop shop: you show up, get married, eat, drink, celebrate — and don’t worry about a thing.
Why We Love Them
Elopements with heart. Just you two, the vows, and maybe a witness or two.
Micro weddings with impact. 5–40 of your closest people, cocktails in the Courtyard, dinner in the Shed, dancing under the rafters.
Stress-free planning. Sharne and the team at Micro Wedding Co. work magic behind the scenes, while we handle the food, booze, and vibes.
Our Hot Take
Big or small, weddings should never feel like a box-ticking exercise. They should feel like you. And if that means shrinking the guest list, ditching the giant seating chart, and keeping it simple? We are absolutely here for it.
