Outtrim is a tiny hillside pocket of South Gippsland, tucked between Korumburra, Kongwak and Inverloch, about 1.5 hours south-east of Melbourne. It used to be a busy coal town, but today it’s all rolling farmland, quiet roads and big sky views – perfect if you want your wedding to feel private, relaxed and a little bit hidden away.

The hero here is Chapter Barn, a beautifully restored barn venue set on around 27 acres, with sweeping views over the hills towards the Bass Coast and Wilsons Prom. Think timber, festoon lights, homestead charm and an eco-friendly ethos, with rainwater, solar-assisted power and a focus on local produce. It’s designed for “weekend wedding” style celebrations, with on-site studio accommodation so you can stretch the party across a few days instead of just a few hours.

Around Outtrim you’ll find scenic drives, bush reserves and cute nearby towns for guests to explore, plus extra accommodation options in Inverloch, Korumburra and Leongatha. If you’re dreaming of a barn wedding that feels like a countryside escape but still links easily to the coast and wider Gippsland, Outtrim is a seriously special spot.
