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!”

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 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.”

Who would’ve thought that such an amazing venue would be nestled in the back of Burpengary! From the moment we went for our first walk through back in March 2023, we knew it was our venue. We couldn’t have been happier with our experience, a big shout out to the incredible team led by Kerri and Dave. From the very beginning, Kerri was amazing, making sure every detail was flawless and ensuring that the lead-up to our wedding was smooth and free of any stress.
We held our ceremony on the jetty, with the horses grazing in the background, much to the delight of our guests! The horses provided lovely company for everyone while they waited for me (the bride), as I was fashionably late. Our reception was held indoors, and I have to say, our vision was brought to life perfectly. It was everything we had dreamed of, with the colours, layout, and table decorations all coming together flawlessly.
Dave was definitely the one who kept everyone calm and collected throughout the day. His sense of humour was a breath of fresh air, always knowing just the right thing to say to lighten the mood. His presence added a fun and relaxed vibe to the whole experience.
We can’t recommend Sharla Park Country Weddings highly enough. It truly exceeded all of our expectations and gave us more than we could have ever imagined!
Thank you Kerri, Dave and Team for our dream day
