One of the most enchanting features of our Old School House is the collection of chandeliers that gracefully adorn the ceiling. Imagine saying your vows beneath their sparkling light, dining under their radiant glow, or dancing the night away in a dedicated dance area lit by pure magic.
The choice is yours, and the possibilities are simply spellbinding.

Last night we attended the Shoalhaven Business Awards at the Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre as a finalist in the Outstanding New Business Category. We walked away with “Highly Commended”, narrowly missing out on the top prize by 0.5 of a mark!!
To say that we are delighted, is an understatement! Richard and I would like to thank everyone in the local business community, the Berry Chamber of Commerce and in particular everyone in the Shoalhaven wedding industry for being so supportive to the “new kids on the block”.
In particular we would love to thank our couples who have booked with us in our first year of operation. Thank you for trusting us with your special day and your flattering reviews.
Dean thanks for coming on board and coping with the “crazy”. Last but not least, a huge thank you to Reanah, without your hard work, patience, sense of humour, belief in the venue and determination we would definitely not be where we are today.
Forever grateful, Clare and Richard
Champagne is synonymous worldwide with happiness and celebration. When saluting one of the biggest events in your life, it seems fitting that you may choose this effervescent liquid gold to play a key role in your day.
Read our blog, published by Polka Dot Wedding offering some delightful suggestions of charming ways to incorporate champagne into your wedding day.
Whether you intend to display it, drink it, mix it into heavenly cocktails, have fun with it or spray it we believe there is always a place for champagne at a wedding. Here at Eleven Eighty we love to turn the unexpected on its head!

Champagne anyone?
Down the rabbit hole at Eleven Eighty.
Step into the charm of Eleven Eighty's Bar and indulge in the artistry of Henry Clive cocktails.
Step back in time at Eleven Eighty, where our historic school hall has found a new lease on life. Operating as the first school in the Shoalhaven Heads/Coolangatta region from 1883 to 1959, this cherished hall and the teacher’s residence were listed for heritage in 1985. Now, they stand as a testament to the past and a beautiful venue for your special moments.
Thanks Lauren 🫶

The most beautiful of transformations! We promise to be anything but ordinary and our stunning train carriage is testament to our vision. Originally built in 1902 and condemned in 1960, this gracious beauty always had another life waiting for it. Transported to Coolangatta in 1983 to be a refreshment room for Coolangatta Pottery, it was once again found abandoned and unused when Eleven Eighty owners, Richard and Clare Mills, purchased the property in 2018. With love, care and a promise to romantically restore this venue full of historic treasures, you will now discover a whimsical and breathtaking space where your bridal party can gather, get ready with hair and makeup, and enjoy drinks together. At Eleven Eighty, there is a story at every turn ... 📸 @belindabellphotography
