Description

Wedding Venue Phillip Island

The Shearing Shed is your dream destination wedding venue- minus the passports. Just 90 minutes from Melbourne, your guests can make a weekend of the celebrations or be back home in their beds by midnight.

Built in 1953 and purposefully restored, The Shearing Shed is where country roots meet killer celebrations. Blending rustic character with modern comforts, we’re an all-inclusive venue with everything you need to create an unforgettable wedding.

The Venue at a glance:

Set on 20 acres of lush gardens and surrounded by farmland- our property is a photographer’s dream at every angle
Two stunning ceremony locations- all yours to say “I do”
A rustic (not rusty) reception space- seating up to 110 for a sit-down feast or 130 cocktail-style reception
A fully stocked boutique bar- featuring handcrafted cocktails, a great range of wines and icy-cold beers
An incredible in-house catering crew- serving up the kind of paddock to plate perfection your guests will rave about for years to come
Personalised planning support - our experienced events team are with you every step of the way, offering guidance and support throughout the entire planning process.

“We’ve captured a handful of weddings at the Shearing Shed and absolutely love being a part of people’s day there. The team are the absolute best, the venue is gorgeous and the food is great! If you’re looking for a wedding venue that ticks all the boxes this is it!”- Salt and Soul Weddings

The Shearing Shed is a beautiful venue. We were extremely lucky to have found this venue to host our wedding. The staff were SO lovely, and highly organised. They were excellent at communicating, and were so helpful at providing input and advice where we needed it (we were total wedding planning rookies!). The food was gorgeous (we received so many compliments from our guests), the grounds are immaculately maintained, and the staff were so flexible when we needed to change our ceremony plans...The Shearing Shed is a beautiful venue.

Just had our wedding and could not be happier with choosing the shearing shed, before confirming our booking we had a sit down meeting and viewing of the venue with Abbie, for a wedding of around 100 guests. After booking we kept in contact with any questions we had via email, and had one last walkthrough and in person meeting around 8 months before. We had most of the details already sorted and made the month before and planning the rest of the wedding so easy.
