Description

Wedding Venue Phillip Island

The Shearing Shed is a destination-style wedding venue on Phillip Island, just 90 minutes from Melbourne. Set on 40 acres of lush farmland, it blends modern minimalism with country charm - think timber beams, moody lighting, cocktails in the courtyard, and dance floors that actually get used.

We specialise in all-inclusive weddings - ceremony, reception, catering, bar and staff - all in one stunning location. Couples can choose from multiple ceremony spots (indoor barn, outdoor billabong, or courtyard) and enjoy paddock-to-plate dining, seamless coordination, and a warm, down-to-earth crew who know how to throw one hell of a celebration.

In short: we turn “just another wedding” into an unforgettable, all-in-one island party where every detail’s handled and every moment hits just right.

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.
