My Top Byron Bay Wedding Venues
Located on the easternmost tip of Australia, Byron Bay has a reputation for being a magical wedding destination. With its breathtaking beaches, lush hinterlands, and laid-back vibe, it's no wonder so many couples choose Byron and the surrounding hinterland to tie the knot. With so much choice, it can be a little overwhelming… so if you’re just starting out on your planning journey and need some inspiration, here is my list of Byron’s best wedding venues.
Byron View Farm
Perched atop a hill with sweeping 360-degree views of the Pacific Ocean and the hinterland, you can watch sunrise on one side and sunset on the other. Choose to have your ceremony looking out to the ocean or say ‘I Do’ under the picturesque gum trees overlooking the rolling green hills. The cosy one-bedroom cottage with wrap-around verandah is the ultimate hideaway for newlyweds and the perfect place to wake up on your first morning as a married couple. If you want to bring your fur baby along, Byron View Farm is pet-friendly and home to a bunch of alpacas and four beautiful border collies.
Fig Tree restaurant
A true Byron Bay icon, Fig Tree Restaurant is a charming venue that embodies the essence of the region. A garden ceremony under the branches of the 150-year-old majestic Lady Fig, standing tall and providing a shaded canopy with glimpses of the lighthouse in the distance.
Guests can wander through the olive grove to the luxe poolside lounges for canapes, tunes and cocktails. The innovative menu is a showcase for the region’s best produce, showcasing ingredients from Fig Tree’s own garden.
Coupled with the attentive service, and luxurious accommodation on-site, it’s hard to go past Fig Tree – there’s a reason it’s one of Byron most loved wedding venues.
The Farm / ThREE BLUE DUCKS
For couples seeking something rustic but also elevated, The Farm is an idyllic choice. The Macadamia Orchard is an unforgettable backdrop for exchanging vows, embracing the private, quiet atmosphere and natural beauty of the tree-lined green orchard before indulging in a farm-to-table feast prepared by the Three Blue Ducks. Everything about this venue is earthy with an atmosphere that exudes romance and simplicity. And it’s perfect for both micro weddings and larger groups.
Beach Byron Bay
Nestled along the pristine shores of Byron Bay's iconic Clarkes beach, Beach offers a unique blend of coastal elegance. With the ocean as the backdrop, couples can exchange vows on the sandy shores or directly in front of the restaurant on the grassy lawn. Beach’s contemporary design, creates a seamless fusion of indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing guests to soak in the breathtaking waterside views and indulge in a very special dining experience.
The Earth House
If you're a fan of understated luxury, look no further than The Earth House. Just fifteen minutes from Bangalow in the Byron hinterland, this is a place that embraces eco-friendly principles, with the feature being its inspiring rammed earth building. Natural beauty and Mediterranean-inspired architecture combine to create a unique wedding venue oozing both rustic charm and luxe simplicity.
Ceremonies take place under the ancient fig with a postcard view of the surrounding farmland. For a truly enchanting and romantic affair, you can’t go past this hinterland treasure.
Shelter
Just a short drive from Byron Bay, it’s hard to go past the relaxed vibe of Shelter in Lennox Head. Just metres from the beach the restaurant is nestled in the charming seaside town of this coastal village - a modern beachfront venue with a seasonal menu that puts the best of the rainbow region on the plate. Ceremonies take place across the road on the grassy lawn overlooking Seven Mile Beach. Stay upstairs at Cuploa, the clever beachside abode providing accommodation on-site. With the soothing sound of crashing waves, Shelter Lennox Head sets the stage for an unforgettable beachside celebration.
So, now you’ve seen some of my favourite venues and there are several more to discover in this beautiful part of the world.
Whether exchanging vows on a sun-kissed beach, amidst rolling hills, or beneath the shelter of ancient fig trees, if you’re getting married in Byron, you are guaranteed to find a venue that just “feels like you” and, together with an incredible vendor team, brings your dream day to life.
