We know planning a wedding can feel like you’re being upsold at every turn - napkin colour? That’ll be $400. Want chairs with backs? That’s extra.
But not here.

At The Shearing Shed, we’re all about keeping things simple, beautiful, and bursting with good times. So when you book your wedding venue with us, what exactly do you get?

Here’s a peek behind the party curtain:

Exclusive Venue Hire

The whole place is yours for the day - and only yours.
We don’t double-book or sneak in a sneaky lunch crowd before your ceremony. From the moment your guests roll up until the last drink is poured, it’s your space to celebrate, explore and enjoy.

Indoor ceremony? Garden moment? Late-night dancefloor stomping? It’s all included.

Full Catering (That People Will Actually Talk About)

No rubber chicken here, promise. Our in-house kitchen legends serve up proper food - beautiful, generous, and totally tailored to your vibe.

Choose from:

  • Shared feasts (hello, communal joy),

  • Alternate drop (the classics, done right),

  • Grazing tables (photo-worthy and delish), or

  • Cocktail-style (for the roaming canapé crowd).

Got dietary needs or foodie dreams? We’re all ears.

Bar Staff & Drinks Service

We’ll make the arrangements AND we’ll bring the team to pour the drinks.
From bubbles on arrival to espresso martinis at 9pm, our crew knows how to keep the drinks flowing and the good times rolling.

Want to add signature cocktails or design a bar menu with your own twist? Bloody oath - we’ll help make it magic (and legal).

Furniture, Decor & the Fun Bits

No need to hire a truckload of gear - we’ve got you sorted with:

  • Long timber dining tables & chairs

  • Wine barrels, stools, and casual seating for cocktail hour

  • Festoon lights & that Shearing Shed glow

  • Wireless mic & speaker for your “I Do” moment

  • Wine barrels (that are so heavy they don’t get lugged around)

  • Couches and armchairs by the fireplace

  • Picnic tables to soak up the afternoon sun

It’s all included. No sneaky hire fees here.

Our Killer Crew

You’re not just booking a venue - you’re booking a team who genuinely give a damn.
We’ll help you plan, style, problem-solve, and pivot if the weather gets cheeky. On the day, we’re the calm in the chaos (and the silent snack providers).

Think of us as your backstage crew, hype squad, and logistics ninjas all rolled into one.

Optional Add-Ons (Totally Up to You)

Want to go big? You can also bolt on:

  • Welcome drinks pre ceremony

  • Late-night snacks (trust us, your guests will thank you)

  • Dancefloor shots to really get the party started

  • Extended service for extra dancing time

  • Styling help or vendor recommendations

You’re in control - pick what matters to you and ditch what doesn’t.
