Why You Should Book Your 2026 Wedding at The Shearing Shed (Before Someone Beats You To It)

Let’s just say it straight - 2026 is shaping up to be the year for “I do’s” that feel a little more “hell yes.”

If you’ve been sitting on the fence - waiting for a “sign” or a “vibe” or the universe to tell you to get your act together - consider this your nudge. Because here’s the deal: our prices are going up for 2027 dates, and that means couples who lock in a 2026 are not only locking down their dream venue, they’re scoring an inadvertent sneaky saving too.

2026 still has gems hiding in plain sight

We’ve got a few prime dates scattered throughout the year. The kind of dates people don’t believe are still available. (Spoiler: they are… for now.)

You know that sweet spot where you get the venue you want, the weather you love, and the savings that make you feel like you’ve hacked the system? That’s 2026.

Winter weddings = elite energy

There’s something next level romantic about a winter wedding at The Shearing Shed. Think:

• roaring open fireplace that feels like a warm hug,

• cosy, slow-cooked winter feasts from our paddock-to-plate kitchen,

• cocktails that go down far too easily,

• and that golden candlelit glow that makes everyone look like they’re starring in a Taylor Swift music video.

Our winter weddings are intimate, atmospheric, and undeniably photogenic. Plus, your guests aren’t battling 38-degree days, melted makeup, or grass-stiletto sinkholes. It’s mood, comfort, and celebration wrapped in one gloriously toasty bundle. Bonus – you get to purchase that epic jacket!

Shorter lead time = less time to stress

Hot take: the couples who plan faster often have more fun.
Here’s why - when you don’t have two years to overthink, you focus on what actually matters. You make decisions, not spreadsheets. And to make life really easy, we will provide you with our secret weapon. A bundle of documents so valuable that planning your wedding will be a breeze. You’ll get:

• FAQ sheet

• wedding checklist

• recommended vendors list

• floor plan

• seating chart template.

You celebrate, not spiral.

And we’re not just going to leave you hanging. The Shearing Shed crew are over-achievers (we can’t help it). We’ll help you line up your dream team, right down to sending out social media blasts to our network of trusted local vendors. Need a photographer? Florist? Celebrant? We know everyone worth knowing - and we’ll help you find your people.

Why waiting will cost you (literally)

If you’re thinking, “Maybe we’ll just wait until 2027,” here’s the truth bomb:
Prices for 2027 and beyond are going up. Not by a sneaky-$50-per-person kind of up - by an inflation-plus-demand kind of up.

Couples booking 2026 dates are getting today’s pricing for tomorrow’s wedding. That’s rare. That’s smart. And that’s the kind of move your future self will thank you for (preferably while sipping espresso martinis by the fire and admiring how bloody good your wedding photos turned out).

TL;DR: 2026 = your golden ticket

So if you’ve been waiting for a sign, here it is - glowing neon, playing your favourite song, and holding out a glass of bubbles.

Book your 2026 date at The Shearing Shed before someone else snaps it up. Because honestly? We’d hate for you to miss out on all the good stuff.
