Real Wedding: Caitlyn and Zac 12.10.24

Photography by KLD Photography When Caitlyn and Zac found Eleven Eighty, their search was over. They booked on the spot, calling it “affordable, beautiful, and beyond expectations.” Why look anywhere else when everything they needed (and more) was right here?

The couple loved how versatile the venue was, with every detail designed to make their day as beautiful and stress-free as possible. Opting for the Gold Package, they made the most of Eleven Eighty’s spaces. The train carriage turned into a glam squad headquarters for Caitlyn and her bridal party, where Sofia Papoulis worked her magic. Staying on-site was a huge win, with all the girls bunking together in the house for pre-wedding fun. They used the cottage as a haven for guests with little ones who needed a quiet spot to rest or feed. Having the whole property to themselves the night before and after the wedding meant no rushing, no stress, and plenty of time to soak it all in.

To keep things seamless on the big day, Caitlyn and Zac brought in Sally from Upon a Star to coordinate – the ultimate decision for a laid-back, enjoy-every-moment kind of vibe.

The Ceremony:
They exchanged vows in the courtyard, framed by their own gorgeous arbour with the old school hall as the backdrop. Piccolo Petalo brought the floral magic, perfectly complementing their vision of “rustic, whimsical, light, and easy.”

The Dream Team:
This wedding had some serious A-team energy. Henry Clive kept drinks flowing and spirits high, Jack Rose set the tone with unforgettable tunes, Berry Bus Service ensured everyone arrived on time, and Fine Spun Catering delivered a drool-worthy banquet that guests raved about. To top it all off, Zac and Caitlyn added their own playful touch with a Photo Booth Studio setup – because what’s a celebration without a little fun?

The Highlight:
For Caitlyn and Zac, the reception under the marquee was pure magic. With the fountain sparkling nearby and a warm, relaxed vibe filling the air, it was everything they’d hoped for and more.  Our favourite was the “shoe game”. The wedding shoe game is a popular wedding activity. The game is played with the bride and groom sitting back-to-back, each holding one of their own shoes and one of their partner’s. Guests ask questions, and the couple raise the corresponding shoe to answer.

We couldn’t be happier for Mr. and Mrs. Scully. The overall feel of this wedding was fun fun fun. Thank you for letting us be part of your story – here’s to a lifetime of happiness and love!

Testimonials

We just had the most magical wedding here – 10/10 venue!!! We cannot speak more highly of our experience! Amazing hosts and team, with exceptional attention to detail. There are so many incredible places for photos (but also the photos don’t do it justice!) and the whole ambience really contributed to our wedding. It was amazing being able to stay at the property for the weekend. We absolutely loved it and could not recommend it more!

The unique venue catered for our family requirements and beyond with many personalised details. Every part of the venue was utilised from the train carriage, the on-site accomodation, through to the beautifully decorated bar and iconic tree swing.

Our wedding getaway consisted of 3 days and 2 nights surrounded with loved ones onsite. We enjoyed great company, good food, fun lawn games, and created many wonderful memories. The venue was perfect for our needs. It was kid and dog friendly, spacious, clean, offered many entertainment spaces, and felt like a home away from our home.

We cannot thank Reanah enough for her support and recommendations. We are so grateful to have engaged such talented vendors who went out of their way to make our day special, thank you so much!

Stacey and I highly recommend Eleven Eighty.

Eleven Eighty has to be the best venue on the south coast for a funky lux wedding or to be honest, any event that you need to be seriously special. The place is like a treasure trove filed with beautiful thoughtfully curated objects and super styled so that every different area is truly unique. There are so many gorgeous settings all just perfectly put together. The vintage train carriage blew me away.

We fell in love with Eleven Eighty because it’s a super unique venue. We knew we wanted something a little less traditional with a cool, relaxed party vibe and felt that Eleven Eighty really delivered on this. We especially love the courtyard and alfresco dining aspect of the venue and the rustic vibe of the bar.

Grounds of Alexandria meets Soho House meets Alice in Wonderland…… Wow! How did we not know about this place? So incredibly beautiful with hidden treasures and unexpected plot twists around every corner. Riddled with character, old world charm and modern luxury, I really can’t think of an event space that has as much wow factor as this did.

We have booked our special day here. We were looking for a venue that could show our personalities, and Eleven Eighty has plenty of that! It is so cute wherever you look. Reanah is super friendly and easy to talk to. She has taken our special day as hers and was super helpful with info and suppliers. I’m so excited about our wedding and spending it here with our families!

“Fantastic, a touch of class with an oldy worldy feel. Perfect to escape the city, do nothing at all or go all out and fill your weekend with wineries, ziplining, kayaking and more. Did I mention there’s a train carriage in the garden?!”
