Driftwood Shed - Terara, New South Wales

This is a review from a photographer’s perspective: Driftwood is a stunning venue and it photographs amazingly! I’ve photographed several weddings here in different weather conditions, you get a lot of variety, textures and backdrops to work with which helps in creating a diverse range of images. If you’re going for that rustic charm and super chilled vibes, Driftwood is the venue you’re looking for.

Wow! Karen and Simon, we are forever grateful to have had the privilege of being married at Driftwood Shed. From the beginning, we knew Driftwood was the place for us. Karen and Simon are accommodating, friendly, down to earth and genuinely excited to be a part of their couple's journeys. Our wedding was 18 months in the making and Karen's enthusiasm and assistance never waned over this time. From start to finish, our Wedding Day was nothing short of magical. The venue implores you to relax and drink in your surroundings of sprawling, eclectic gardens and the calming Shoalhaven river. With years of experience, Karen and Simon's professionalism shines through in every conversation. Our guests have been raving they've never been to a more beautiful wedding venue and, of course, we have to agree!
If you are seeking a garden wedding with fantastic scenery and atmosphere in an intimate setting, the unique and incredible Shed itself and freedom to make the space your own, look no further than Driftwood Shed. If we could relive this day a thousand times it still wouldn't be enough!
Our day was an incredible lovefest made all the more special by you both.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Love,
Rachel & Ben

The Driftwood Shed was love at first sight! It was the first and only venue we visited. Karen made us feel so welcome and comfortable and after exploring the property we couldn't imagine ourselves getting married anywhere else. She was happy to answer my many questions and make suggestions to ensure the day ran smoothly. The grounds are lush and green but for us it was the shed filled with antiques and curiosities which stole our hearts. Every corner of the shed is filled with an interesting artefact or object, each unique and holding a story of its own. Thank you so much again for having us, you made our wedding weekend a dream come true!

The most perfect, incredible, magical place to get married! We held our wedding at The Driftwood Shed on 21st October and could not have ever imagined anything more perfect.
Sue, Simon, Nicola (and Caesar) and their team made our day (and whole weekend) a dream.

So many people told us its the best wedding venue they have ever been to and we completely agree. A secret garden, around every corner finding a gorgeous place to relax, dance, and explore!

It was everything we could ever have dreamed of for our wedding and much more. THANK YOU GUYS!! xx

Driftwood Shed was the first venue my fiancé and I looked at and I knew from that moment it was the right place for us. We looked at a couple other venues but nothing gave us the same feeling. Karen and Simon who run the venue are so incredibly kind and easy to deal with to ensure the planning and the day run smoothly. We got married last Saturday November 18th and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The venue has everything you could need - from the beautiful ceremony spot with the arbour overlooking Shoalhaven river, to the lawn for cocktail hour, a marquee for dinner and the shed for dancing and drinks. It’s so lovely having everything in the one venue and each corner has something fun to see. I couldn’t be more grateful for being able to host our wedding here. Thank you so much Karen, Simon and your team for making our day so special.

This is seriously one of my favourite wedding venues....and we are spoilt for chance in the Shoalhaven. Relaxed, chilled and fun weddings are the order of the day at Driftwood Shed.

Awesome place, Karen and her team have this place humming!

Karen is amazing, has a calm and confident demeanour that helped keep me calm and felt reassured even when it was threatening rain. Had an answer for everything and knew what to do in every situation. From set up to pack down was easier than I had hopped, She deserves 5 stars herself.

The staff were happy, friendly and very accommodating. Engaging with the guests and we’re smiles all night.

The venue is phenomenal, the gardens to the barn, the games out the front, to the house in the back, all was immaculately groomed and looked amazing. After searching 10 different venues we walked into this one and knew straight away that this was it, every venue we went to afterwards was bland and dull. The character of The Driftwood Shed is off the charts!

So Good!
