From choosing decorations and preferred caterers to the all-important wedding cake, and it can quickly feel overwhelming. Barn weddings on the Sunshine Coast relieve much of that stress by offering flexible spaces and comprehensive facilities.

Key takeaways

Decorating your barn wedding venue
A barn provides the perfect blank canvas, choose a sophisticated palette of whites and silvers, or lean into a rustic theme with greenery, fairy lights and reclaimed timber furniture. You can work with the colour palette of your choice and set the theme for your special event.
Do you want a sophisticated and formal atmosphere? White tablecloths, drapes, elegant tableware, and centrepieces can make for a memorable event. On the other hand, you can lean into the warm and natural beauty of a rustic wedding that a barn affords. Greenery and floral arrangements, fairy lights, and authentic farmhouse furniture bring the charm of the Sunshine Coast hinterland indoors.
Everything is in one place for your dream wedding day
Some wedding venues provide spaces for the ceremony and the reception. Yandina Station is a working farm on expansive, picturesque grounds. You can say your vows at any one of a number of locations in our gorgeous wedding venue. To round out your special day, the reception can then take place in our beautiful Dairy Barn, which offers seating for up to 180 people.
Before the day kicks off, it’s important that the bride and groom have a space to prepare with their gorgeous wedding party. Yandina Station has onsite accommodations in the form of luxury cottages. Having all of these facilities in one dream wedding package will save you a significant amount of money. It also reduces logistical challenges such as transporting guests to a separate location.
Everyone can be invited to your special day
