Redcourt Homestead
About
Overview & Vibe
Redcourt Homestead is a farm wedding venue ten minutes west of Bairnsdale in East Gippsland, set among gardens and grassy paddocks. It is owner-run — Ray and Tanya, with more than eighteen years in hospitality between them — and the offer is straightforward country hospitality rather than a styled package: a historic wool shed for the reception, a garden for the ceremony, and a bar that runs late.
Setting & Style
The reception room is a historic wool shed, strung with fairy lights and opening onto covered verandahs, with a large dance floor. Ceremonies happen in the garden, where the venue provides a rustic ceremony arch, with an indoor ceremony area held in reserve for bad weather. The grounds are gum-treed paddocks and established gardens — the venue’s own photography leans on backlit gums, a rose-covered arch set between hay bales, and sunsets over the tree line.
Ideal For
Couples wanting a relaxed East Gippsland farm wedding without assembling every element themselves. The venue supplies food and beverage packages, a licensed bar, and a large range of decorations and centrepieces — unusual for a venue of this size, and it means less to hire in. Guests who want to stay can take The A-Frame, a two-bedroom house beside the homestead where pets are welcome.
The Need-to-Knows
Seating is for up to 130 guests, and the bar is licensed to 1am — later than a lot of regional venues. No pricing is published: the venue advertises “a range of competitive food and beverage packages” without a figure, so the cost has to be established by enquiry. The site is small and publishes no street address — only a mobile and an email — so confirm the location when you enquire. The homestead also runs a Tea Room for high teas of 10 to 30, which is a good way to see the place before committing.
Standout Feature
The wool shed under fairy lights. It is the whole proposition in one room — a working farm building rather than a function centre, lit up, with a bar that does not stop at eleven.

Price Notes
- No figures are published, but the inclusions are listed plainly. The bar licence to 1am is later than most regional venues and is worth confirming against noise conditions. The decorations and centrepieces being supplied by the venue is unusual at this size and reduces what a couple needs to hire in. The venue is owner-operated: "With more than 18 years experience in the hospitality industry, owners Ray & Tanya and their team of trained food and beverage professionals will help make your wedding or event a stress free and truly wonderful experience." SEPARATELY, the homestead runs a Tea Room for high teas catering to groups of 10-30, with flexible packages, two and three-tiered cake stands, unlimited tea and coffee, linen napkins and tablecloths, cutlery and crockery, and food made in the Woolshed kitchen — a low-commitment way to visit before booking.
