- SShania30/06/2026Guests raved about our fun, stunning venueGuests raved about our fun, stunning venueOur wedding was such a magical day. We got ready in the old train and had our first look in the barn. We had our ceremony outside under the willows and danced the night away in the old hall. The marquee is such a special touch to an outdoor reception, especially with those gorgeous chandeliers. There is so much character everywhere you turn. I would do it all over here in a heartbeat. Everyone who came to our wedding couldn’t stop raving about how stunning and fun the venue was.Our wedding was such a magical day. We got ready in the old train and had our first look in the barn.

It suited us as a couple perfectly and It is where the next chapter of our story has begun. We wanted somewhere that would suit a micro-wedding, accommodate both of our families on site, be in a central location and the crucial factor - be dog friendly.

- EElle and Jess30/06/2026We knew instantly that this venue was for usWe knew instantly that this venue was for usWhen my partner and I came to tour Eleven Eighty we knew instantly that it was for us. We were married last week and had the best time. Not only was it lovely getting to spend a bit of extra time with friends and family the day before but being able to set up the space exactly how we want was great. Our family loved the lawn games and dancing, our bridesmaids loved the train carriage, and we loved it all. Big thank you to Clare and Rich. So thankful that you have this space.

- KKeeley and Ben30/06/2026Perfect balance between romantic and rusticPerfect balance between romantic and rusticMy partner and I were married at Eleven Eighty this October, and it was an absolute dream. It struck the perfect balance between romantic and rustic. We were able to bring in our own selection of fabulous vendors as well as use the venues kitchenware, range of furniture, lighting and decor. Being able to stay on site with our bridal party was a massive plus as it allowed us to all relax together before and after the wedding. We couldn’t be happier we chose a venue with such character and charm.My partner and I were married at Eleven Eighty this October, and it was an absolute dream.

Are you pet friendly?
Absolutely. We know that for many couples, their four-legged family member wouldn't miss the big day.
Well-behaved pets are welcome to be part of your ceremony and photos. Whether they're your ring bearer, flower pup or simply your biggest fan, we're here to help make it happen. We just ask that they're supervised by a dedicated pet handler so you can relax and enjoy every moment.
Do you have accommodation on site?
Yes. Our heritage listed "Schoolmasters House" sleeps up to 9 guests, making it the perfect place to get ready with your closest people, stay the night before, or wake up as newlyweds the morning after. In addition our cottage can take up to an additional 6 guests, meaning that 15 can stay onsite.
Many of our couples love turning their wedding into a weekend experience, with family and friends staying nearby in Berry, Shoalhaven Heads and the surrounding villages.
Are you set up for formal style dining or cocktail style?
Both—and that's one of the things our couples love most.
Whether you're dreaming of a long-table feast under the stars, an elegant seated reception, or a relaxed cocktail celebration with plenty of space to mingle and dance, Eleven Eighty can be styled to suit your vision. There isn't a "right" way to celebrate here—just the way that feels most like you.
Do you offer midweek or winter weddings?
Absolutely! Winter at Eleven Eighty is something truly special. Picture crackling fire pits, cosy velvet lounges beneath the stars, and a heritage setting that feels warm, intimate and incredibly romantic.
We offer a 10% discount on venue hire for weddings held between June and August, along with special rates for midweek celebrations and micro weddings.
Get in touch and we'd love to send you our package options and help you find the perfect fit for your celebration.
Can we provide our own alcohol?
We're a fully licensed venue, so we take care of your bar service from start to finish. You'll choose your favourite beers, wines and sparkling from our trusted supplier, with the option to add cocktails, spirits or a garden bar to make it uniquely yours. We'd love to chat through the options and send you our bar packages.
Can we choose our own caterers and suppliers?
Absolutely. You're welcome to choose your own caterer and suppliers, giving you the freedom to create a wedding that's uniquely yours. If you're looking for recommendations, we're also happy to connect you with some of the South Coast's best vendors who know and love Eleven Eighty.
Do you have a wet weather option?
Yes. If the weather turns, your ceremony simply moves indoors to our beautiful heritage-listed hall. It’s a stunning space in its own right, full of character and history, so your day feels just as special—rain, hail or shine. Your reception is also covered, with our permanent marquee providing a beautiful and weather-safe setting so your celebrations can continue seamlessly no matter what the forecast brings.
Can we have our reception and ceremony at the venue?
Yes, you can hold both your ceremony and reception at Eleven Eighty. Many of our couples love the ease of having everything in one place, allowing the day to flow seamlessly from “I do” to the dance floor without anyone having to travel.
Can we book Eleven Eighty for an engagement party or special occasions?
Absolutely. Eleven Eighty isn’t just for weddings—we love hosting engagement parties and other meaningful celebrations too. If you’re looking for a unique heritage setting to bring your people together and celebrate life’s milestones, we’d be delighted to hear from you.
