Old Forest School

Think of Old Forest School as a blank canvas, a beautifully curated backdrop that gives you almost total creative freedom to design your very own bespoke event. From choosing an indoor or outdoor ceremony, decorating to floral design, to creating your own menus with your chosen caterer, to finding just the right entertainment, celebrant and photographer to fit your personal taste.

Customise every moment of your wedding day and allocate your budget or time to the aspects of your day that matter most. If you love food then you can go all out on a gourmet menu or hire your favourite food trucks, if music and dancing is a high priority, you can book your favourite band or DJ and party late into the evening.

You get to make all the choices, Old Forest School is a BYO venue and we can host any commercial caterer you’d like to hire for you event

Micro Weddings and Elopements

If you’re planning a micro wedding or an elopement then chances are you don’t want to sacrifice the chance to celebrate, the chance to do something really special with those most important people. Old Forest School has some magical hidden spots that are too petite to cater for a larger sized wedding…just waiting for you..

With fewer guests comes less work, fewer opinions and people to please and less budget required. Shrinking the event down to a cozy, intimate size guarantees you’ll love where every cent goes and it creates the opportunity for great memories with every single guest. Our packages still allow you to have the three things needed at all weddings regardless of size…great food, music and drinks.
