Warners Bay-based business expands into events
In Lake Macquarie, a new wave of sophistication is sweeping through the event scene, thanks to Shuck Yeah by Dawson’s Oysters.

This innovative venture promises to bring a unique touch of elegance to gatherings across Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, Central Coast, and beyond. Combining the freshest oysters with top-tier event planning, Shuck Yeah is poised to become a staple in the hospitality industry.
At the heart of Shuck Yeah is Hannah Woods, the dedicated and passionate business owner of Dawson’s Oysters, who has been in the hospitality industry for over 16 years.
“Shuck Yeah is born from a love of curating events and special moments for oyster lovers,” Hannah said.

The Dawson’s team, with their experienced oyster openers, ensures that every oyster is not only impeccably prepared and presented, but sustainably sourced – highlighting their commitment to quality and detail.
Hannah’s journey to creating Shuck Yeah was driven by two main factors; her love for event planning and a recognition of a gap in the market. For Hannah, event planning has always been a creative outlet, and she saw an opportunity to combine this passion with her experience in the oyster world.

“As a small business owner, you wear an endless number of hats and it’s easy to lose track of the parts of your business that you really love working on.”
While Dawson’s Oysters has been catering events for years, the hard launch of Shuck Yeah is set to coincide with its website launch at the end of June, a moment that promises to be the beginning of an exciting journey for Hannah and her team.

Offering a comprehensive range of services designed to elevate any event, Shuck Yeah can supply oysters for private home events, offer an oyster bar cart for hire, as well as on-site oyster shucking.
“We pride ourselves on our extensive knowledge and expertise on all things oyster-related.”

Whether it’s an intimate home celebration, a corporate gathering, a grand wedding, or a significant milestone celebration, Shuck Yeah is ready to add a touch of class and sophistication to your next event.
“Think corporate Christmas parties, 70th birthdays, anniversaries, product launches, weddings – if you can think of it, we’re up for it!”

Hannah’s vision for Shuck yeah extends beyond its current offerings. With the recent launch of online ordering for Dawson’s Oyster Supplies, she is excited to explore more partnerships with our local hospitality venues.
“I’ve always wanted to open an oyster bar. Swan Oyster Bar in San Francisco is one of my all-time favourite venues, and I’d love to replicate that here in Newcastle one day.”

Shuck Yeah by Dawson’s Oysters is not just about serving oysters, it’s about creating memorable experiences that celebrate the art of event planning and the exquisite taste of fresh, locally sourced oysters.
For those looking to add a touch of elegance and a taste of the ocean to their next event, Shuck Yeah might just be your best bet.
