A little bit about us!

At The Venue Collective, we believe every couple deserves a wedding that reflects their unique story. When I was planning my own wedding, I struggled to find a venue that aligned with the personal, non-traditional celebration I envisioned. This inspired me to create a platform where couples can discover one-of-a-kind venues and connect with passionate vendors who bring their visions to life.

Hi, I’m Shantel, founder and owner of The Venue Collective. I grew up in the picturesque South Coast of NSW on Yuin Country, however, currently living in Wollongong on Dharawal Country. I’m passionate about moving away from the typical traditional wedding vibe and embracing a more relaxed, down-to-earth approach. Think small, unique and non-traditional celebrations that truly reflect who you are as a couple.
