Wedding Blog

Barns and Sheds have recently become some of the most sought after wedding venues in Australia. As more couples look for unique wedding locations for their ceremony and reception, demand for barn venues, sheds and other farm locations has soared. And so too has supply. When it comes to finding off-the-grid unique wedding venues for a barn wedding, Australia is the wed shed capital of the world. 

Initially inspired by beautifully styled private farm weddings that had began appearing on social media, couples started looking for similar barn venues for their own weddings. Farm owners found themselves receiving enquiries about the possibility of hosting weddings on their property. Those queries have steadily increased over the past few years and in response, so too have the variety of barn wedding venues and shed locations now available for hire in NSW.

Rustic spaces such as restored hay barns and tractor sheds are readily found in all regions of the state. Their exposed wooden beams, original flooring and corrugated & wrought iron features lend a relaxed and festive atmosphere to off-the-grid weddings. Ideal for rustic and boho weddings, these repurposed structures are easily (and cheaply) glammed up to achieve a modern aesthetic.  

Other rustic barn wedding venues in NSW include horse stables and arenas. Long table weddings are particularly well suited in these reception spaces and there’s usually very little styling required other than the table setting itself.

In recent years, purpose built wedding sheds have sprung up throughout NSW in response to growing demand for the chilled vibe of a barn venue coupled with a fresh and modern aesthetic. White walls, high ceilings, exposed wooden beams, floor to ceiling glass windows and large glass sliding doors make these light filled venues the perfect blank canvas to style to your own preference.

Barns and sheds are wonderfully understated wedding venues that offer a unique and relaxed setting for laid back events with a fun atmosphere. They're typically large spaces that offer room for a dance floor, photo booth or a break away area that can be easily styled with a few rugs, a pair of velvet couches and a personalised neon sign. One of the great things about farms with wedding barns and sheds, is that they almost always also offer accommodation onsite. From barn lofts to country estates to farm stays to homesteads, cottages or even glamping.

Whether you prefer a repurposed rustic barn or a modern light filled shed, there's a huge range of barn wedding venues to choose from in NSW.  From working cattle farms to private properties to exclusive retreats - these are the best barn and shed venues for weddings in NSW...

A barn venue is a wonderful choice for couples who want their wedding to be relaxed and fun with the ceremony and reception all in one place. Most of the properties on this list provide accommodation onsite too, so that you can stay the night before your wedding, get ready onsite in the morning and wander ‘home’ after your wedding reception.

With many properties available for your exclusive use for the entire weekend, barn and shed venues offer a very private and intimate setting where you can enjoy the company of your guests for an extended wedding celebration. And while barn weddings are popular, they’re certainly very unique. Having your wedding in a barn or shed is not a celebration that the two of you, or your guests, will quickly forget. 

Some of the barn wedding venues listed above are among the most popular wedding locations in NSW. They often book out quickly and we recommend making enquiries 8 months to 2 years in advance. The longer the lead time, the more likely you are to secure your preferred wedding date at your favourite barn venue.

Mobile bar hire is a fun way to elevate your backyard party, garden wedding or special outdoor function and in New South Wales there's a great variety to choose from. From luxury pop up bars to repurposed horse floats and vintage caravans, the state has mobile bars to suit all event themes from Hamptons inspired parties to DIY weddings. 

The mobile bars on this list are absolutely stunning centrepieces, creating a fun and laid back vibe at your event while keeping your guests hydrated and refreshed. They serve a range of chilled drinks from standard & craft beers, wines, champagnes and ciders, to signature cocktails crafted to your liking by RSA qualified mixologists.

Mobile bar hire in NSW includes licensed and non-licensed options. The majority of portable bars in the state are non-licensed which means you're able to source your own alcohol and mixers from wholesale stockists and have them served chilled with ice, straws and garnishes provided by your mobile bar. 

Mobile bar hire packages include two main options; Dry Hire is the cheapest starting at $800 for a drop & go service where your bar is set up for you and left unmanned with the legally required RSA qualified staff being provided as part of your venue hire package. Other packages include RSA staff and are suitable for backyard events and BYO venues.

The cost to hire a mobile bar ranges from $1,200 - $3,500 on average across New South Wales. Things that affect the price include the size of your guest list (the more guests you have, the more staff are required), the location (travel is charged per km), the duration of your event and added extras like styling items, furniture hire and the service of cocktails.

To hire a mobile bar in NSW you'll need to pay a deposit and sign a contract to lock in your date. After you've paid a deposit for your mobile bar and/or bartender hire you'll be given support to plan your drinks menu. If you're booking a BYO bar they'll help you calculate the volumes of alcohol required and create a shopping list.

Most mobile bar customers source drinks from Dan Murphys or local breweries, wineries and distilleries. Drinks usually need to be provided to the mobile bar already chilled and using on-board fridges and ice the bar then keeps them cool for the duration of your event.

Most mobile bars require access to power via a standard power lead. If your function venue is unable to provide power the bar will supply a generator at an additional cost (around $200 - $300).

A mobile bar on wheels and stationery pop up bars create a memorable stand out feature at your event. More than a drinks service, they provide a destination for guests to congregate at, an elegant styling feature within your space and create a fun and laid back atmosphere.
