About Barn1890
Barn1890 is a heritage stone barn on Culley Road at Sellicks Hill, set among vineyards between the coast and the Willunga foothills. The owners restored it stone by stone for their own wedding and now hire it out for weddings and private events. The barn keeps its original stone walls and adds a mezzanine, a bar built from an old horse trough, an open fire and timber doors that open onto an outdoor piazza. More than 3,000 fairy lights hang inside, and the piazza looks over a pond, gardens and views out to the sea. The property covers three acres of cottage gardens and lawns. A lawned ceremony area sits under century-old gum trees, and the barrel room offers a covered terrace over an olive grove for a late lounge or a wet-weather ceremony. Weddings take exclusive use of the whole property for up to 150 cocktail guests, with an on-the-day coordinator, tables, vintage chairs, crockery and glassware. The venue also hosts birthday celebrations, Christmas parties, intimate functions and meetings, using the barrel room or the lawns. Catering comes from one of four local caterers who know the barn's kitchen and quote directly. Guests can bring their own beer, wine, sparkling and soft drinks, while the venue supplies the bar staff.
