WedShed is an online platform that brings together a collection of unique Aust and NZ venues to hire for weddings

A few years ago, a close girlfriend of ours became engaged. Champers was popped and offers of help were volunteered. We were tasked with helping our bride-to-be find a unique wedding venue. Piece of cake, we thought – Google’s surely got our backs. Not quite.

Without stumbling upon a miraculous search term or knowing the right blogs to look through, the same stuff kept cropping up. We were quickly left feeling disillusioned, and realised that someone needed to make the process of finding a wedding venue a whole lot easier and more inspirational. So we decided to do it.

We use the word ‘venue’ loosely – our spaces range from woolsheds and warehouses to wineries and airplane hangars. What’s consistent is that all our venue-partners allow couples to create personal celebrations that reflect what they’re all about. Less bridezilla, more bridechilla.
