Off the beaten path and away from the hustle and bustle of the main street of Cowes, you can find an unassuming driveway with an old tractor to great you. Meander up the track, taking in the gardens and old farm machinery dotted about and you will find a hidden gem. Newly renovated, The Shearing Shed is a beautiful wedding and function centre bursting with rustic charm. The rustic and recycled tim

bers used give the building a natural earthy feel that is warm and welcoming. The open fire place adds beautifully to the ambience. Our menu changes with the season making the most of Australian and locally grown produce. The property is full of history and is well worth a wander, so why don't you come find us.

Our bath tub in the courtyard continues to prove it's usefulness throughout the day.

It makes for an ideal spot to hang a neon sign, creating a fun photo back drop for you and your guests🤍

What better way to celebrate after the ceremony than by diving straight into a delicious cocktail!?

We have a cocktail list with a few to choose from otherwise you can let us know what your favourite is and we can whip that up for you!

The dry ice from absolutely setting the mood for the first dance😍

Not only does this look like you are dancing on a cloud, it creates the most amazing photos.

We always recommend having your first dance after dinner to open the dance floor.
The moment sharing your first dance together as a married couple surrounded by all of your loved ones is something truly so special.

It creates the best vibe to then have all your guests to join you on the dance floor to dance the night away!!

These audio guest books are a VIBE!
We see .au pop up all the time and we think they are such a good idea!

For those who haven't seen before, it is an audio guest book where you pick up the phone and leave a message rather than a written one in a book.

Pretty tame normal voice messages are left at the beginning to a whole lot of fun at the end of the night after a few bevvies!

Perfect to be left in one spot or carted around the dance floor.

Those post married feels!! 😁

Your wedding day can feel like it goes by in the blink of an eye, so it's essential to take moments throughout the day to soak it all in.

Appreciate each moment, from getting ready with your bridal party to exchanging vows with your partner and dancing the night away at the reception.

Our favourite piece of advice we like to give all of our couples is when the dance floor is pumping to step aside together and watch your guests for a small moment and remember why everyone is here🤍

While the wedding day is undeniably centred around the couple, it’s the collective experiences and connections with the wonderful people in our lives that shape us 🥹

Involving your loved ones in the heartfelt parts of the ceremony adds depth and richness to the celebration, honouring the bonds that have shaped the couples journey.
After all it’s these shared moments and cherished relationships that make the wedding day truly unforgettable🤍

There's a certain magic to having all your beloved ones gathered in one room, eagerly awaiting speeches.

It's the moment when your family shares heartwarming stories and celebrates your greatest achievements.
Meanwhile your closest friends walk the fine line careful not to spill too much tea to the oldies about your past antics!

A golden hour kind of vibe.

The courtyard is absolutely stunning in the afternoons as the sun is setting.
Whether it's enjoying a grazing table filled with delicious treats, sipping on a cocktail with your loved ones post ceremony, listening to heartfelt speeches or sharing a special first dance as the married couple.
The courtyard is the perfect space for creating amazing memories.

So obviously letting a confetti cannon off is a heap of fun yes!?
And we know they make for epic photos.
With certain types of confetti comes certain types of risks and to minimize these we have had to put in a few little boundaries.

They can only be let off in our indoor ceremony space The Barn.
The maximum amount that can be let off is 4.
No water can be present in this room, this means no vases with water etc.
You must also notify us if considering using so we can prepare for the clean up.

Much Love,
The Shearing Shed Team.

Our Story

We create, you celebrate.

Off the beaten path and away from the hustle and bustle of the main street of Cowes, you can find an unassuming driveway with an old tractor to greet you. Meander up the track, taking in the gardens and old farm machinery dotted about and you will find a hidden gem. Newly renovated, The Shearing Shed is a beautiful wedding and function centre bursting with rustic charm.

The rustic and recycled timbers used give the building a natural earthy feel that is warm and welcoming. The open fire place adds beautifully to the ambience. The landscape grounds lend themselves to exploring, or sitting for a while to take it all in.

Perfect for all kinds of gathering, all you need is a reason.
