Willie Smiths was an amazing venue for our wedding. Annika was wonderful to work with and super helpful in helping my vision come to life. The food was fabulous and had our guests raving about the pork. The site itself offers many great photo opportunities and different areas for ceremony and dance locations.

we were so happy with our choice for a winter wedding at Willie Smiths Apple Shed - the staff were so accommodating and more than happy to change things up to suit the style of wedding we wanted. Winter was fantastic as we got to have the big fire pits going, masses of candles flickering and gorgeous festoon lights twinkling. It was cold, but that just added to the night and the hot cider when the guests arrived was perfect. We went with stand up canapés then shared platters of slow cooked meats, crunchy roast potatoes and the apple salad (OMG the best salad!) Everyone commented on how beautiful the food was and what a sensational venue for a wedding. Because the Apple Shed is so rustic and gorgeous, we really didn't need to do much to set it up for the night.

This venue was so incredible that we really don’t know where to start. From the get go Annika made the whole planning process so easy, she was so warm and it felt like she was as excited as we were for our own wedding! Absolutely nothing was too hard for them to accommodate, from an entirely vegan banquet that included sourcing specific ingredients to have our favourite foods included in the spread to checking in with us on tiny little details we might like to include that we wouldn’t have even thought of. The venue itself is so incredibly pretty that beyond the arch we didn’t set up any decorations at all, from the little string lights to the rustic decor and fire pits it was perfect as it was. We really can’t think of any venue that could have been easier than this to set up. For a wedding

The team at Willie Smiths were fantastic to work with. The venue where very flexible when it came to postponing and moving our wedding to a later date. We loved the atmosphere and style of the venue. This was the perfect location for a relaxed authentic Tasmania country wedding. We were super impressed with the food and beverages supplied by the venue.

Is it likely our wedding quotes could change because of the cost of living?

We are starting to get prices for our wedding reception, for our wedding that's 18 months away. If we make a booking and pay a deposit, is the price guaranteed, given the cost of everything keeps going up?

Willie Smith's Apple Shed

Yes we say in our T&C that the food cost for any booking more then 12months out may be subject to change due to CPI increases.
