The Marquee
Our 21m x 10m marquee is positioned with 360 degree views of the lake and surrounding bush-land. Open the walls for an open air event or have them closed for some cosy styling. Watch the trees in the breeze and the horses at play all from the comfort of this well positioned function space, fully customizable to suit your needs, with the option of our long timber tables or round tables.
The Silo Bar
Our unique “silo” bar is a custom built feature that will keep your guests well entertained. Positioned a short distance from the main marquee, the silo bar serves as a watering hole for all of your beverages, served to your guests by our friendly bar staff. Our venue is BYO, feel free to stock up the onsite fridge with the tastes of your choice!

Just one of the many spots to choose from on the property, spanning out over the waters edge, our jetty is perfect for a Wedding Ceremony or for a photo opportunity with the lake and acreage views in the background, and on request - horses too! We include 32 white americana chairs (more available on request) and a signing table with 2 chairs, with all ceremony and reception packages and the jetty is fitted with power for audio.

Our Story…
Sharla Park is owned and operated by David and Kerri who spend their days moulding and shaping the 31 acres into a stunning space, perfectly suited for the most special of occasions…
“Located only 10 minutes from North Lakes, we launched Sharla Park in late 2019 after noticing a need for a more easily accessible country themed venue in the area, saving you and your guests hours of travel to a location that would otherwise provide the same country views and pristine serenity that is now available at Sharla Park.
Our property is also a functioning equestrian centre, home to over 20 horses, with rolling grassland and a large lake, surrounded by Australia’s most iconic natural bushland and wildlife..
Our venue is constantly growing, with features and highlights that will all contribute to your special day. If you’re considering Sharla Park for your upcoming event, we can’t wait to meet you, to provide a tour and discuss the options we have available..
We look forward to hearing from you soon!”

“We had our wedding ceremony and reception last Saturday at the gorgeous Sharla Park Country Wedding and Events and all we can say is 'incredible'!! Dave and Kerri really went the 'extra mile' to make our day run smoothly with loads of support, making sure the grounds looked stunning for our big day. We have had so many compliments from our guests and people saying that it was the best wedding they've ever been to. There are plenty of beautiful photo spots around the property and guests also loved the fact that everything is in the one location. We absolutely LOVED the old Silo bar, the beautiful pontoon (where we had our ceremony) and the marquee is incredible... having a blank canvas to style in your own unique way was just what we wanted. It also rained on our wedding day however our guests stayed dry under the massive undercover area and it also made for some stunning rainy day photos. Dave and Kerri... Leon n I just wanted to say a massive THANKYOU for helping make our big day one that we will never forget. We are so happy we chose to have a wedding at your beautiful property!”

“There are not enough words to express how amazing our experience was at Sharla Park - with Dave & Kerri and their staff behind the scenes! The work that goes behind one day is insane but we pulled off a guest list of 120 without hesitation and without problems! Dave & Kerri WOWWe cannot say thank you enough for going above and beyond for Anthony and I.

“Such a beautiful location and the staff were incredible making everything run flawlessly on the day. The marquee was set up perfectly and the décor done by the on site staff was amazing. Exceeded our expectations by 100 fold! So many stunning ceremony spots to choose from. We loved how all ceremony options lead seamlessly to the pre reception drinks and canape area. The range of arbors available were all gorgeous with a great variety for different styles. More options than we saw at any other venues. Kerri was wonderful to work with and went above and beyond.

“Absolutely stunning venue. Peaceful and picturesque,with huge gum trees to take shade under. Arabian horses frolicked in the paddock as we took in the view across the lake. The huge white marquee was lit by hundreds of fairy lights,at night and the rustic silo bar was a great feature too. Kerri and Dave were welcoming hosts. Highly recommended.”
