I just wanted to thank the team at The Goods Shed for their assistance with our event. Everything ran really smoothly and professionally. The food was really fresh and well prepared. Everything was served effortlessly by the catering staff. We are looking forward to holding another event at The Goods Shed.

We recently had our wedding ceremony in the theatre and reception in the carriage rooms. Everyone who attended said it was the most beautiful wedding venue they had ever been to. The historic bluestone building and architecture was accentuated with state of the art up lighting in our theme colour and the theatre has every bell and whistle you can think of to create the ceremony of your dreams. Food was also better than any restaurant and the pricing cheaper than most wedding venues in the area. We rave about this place to everyone it’s just so special.

Our wedding reception at The Goods Shed Events Hall was fantastic. Mark was really great to work with and helped us every step of the way. He was super helpful with planning our event and the team even helped us with setup on the day prior. We were thrilled with how the place looked and so were our guests. The food was amazing and the service by the staff was excellent. The Lydiard Room is outstanding, with high quality audio-visual equipment as well. There is no doubt in my mind that this the best venue in Ballarat for your event! Thanks Mark and the team for making our night one to remember.

Over 100 people coming to Ballarat for our annual meeting.
Incredible location, great staff. Just the right amount of support to make our event work and highly memorable.
Thank you so much team, love your work. I hope we can come back and visit again soon.
