Spring Bay Mill is unlike any other wedding venue in Australia. Set on 43 hectares of reclaimed industrial land on lutruwita/Tasmania’s east coast, it’s where raw, rusted beauty meets sustainability and serenity. Once the world’s largest wood chip mill, it’s now a deeply intentional venue with ocean views, native bushland, and a serious story to tell.

If you’re dreaming of a wedding that breaks free from cookie-cutter traditions, where your vows echo through amphitheatres of up-cycled timber and celebrations stretch into the salty sea air, Spring Bay Mill is your canvas.

My Experience Here

I’m passionate about the environment a ceremony is created in and there’s something about the now-still-chaos of the former industrial sheds and eqiupment that brings an intimacy and stillness to the mill. I’m excited to be a preferred and local wedding celebrant for Spring Bay Mill.

Planning Tips

Best season: Spring through autumn is ideal; winters are quiet but beautiful with moody skies.
Sunset timing: The venue faces east, so golden hour photography happens earlier in the afternoon; plan your ceremony to capture the light.
Transport: It’s a scenic 90-minute drive from Hobart; organise guest shuttles if needed.
Accommodation: Onsite options are fabulous and eco-luxe, but for larger guest lists, consider overflow accommodation in nearby Triabunna.
Weather: It can be windy on the coast—embrace it or plan with wind-friendly florals and styling.
Accessibility: The site is sprawling with both outdoor and indoor areas, so be clear about guest mobility needs.
Experiences: Add a tree planting session or a Welcome to Country for extra meaning and connection to place.
