Wedding Ceremony and Reception Venues

If you’re planning to get married on one of Byron Bay’s beautiful beaches, or at the Byron Bay Lighthouse, you need to obtain a wedding permit from Byron Shire Council or Cape Byron Trust. Byron Bay weddings are very popular, so be sure to do this as far in advance as possible. Also, don’t forget to check and plan around the tide times! Wategos Beach, Little Wategos Beach, Main Beach, Belongil Beach, Tallow Beach, and Broken Head are all popular choices for Byron Bay beach weddings. Each has its own charm, degree of privacy, and varying conveniences – if possible, it’s worth visiting the beach yourself prior to your wedding day to help you make the right choice.

When it comes to hosting your reception, venues such as Fishheads@Byron and the Byron Beach Café provide panoramic views over the mountains and beach, as does Rae’s on Wategoes. In town, the Lord Byron Resort and the Owl and Pussycat Bar cater for wedding receptions, along with the exclusive Byron at Byron Resort and Spa five minutes from the centre.

The Byron Bay hinterland also offers many secluded and spectacular settings for your wedding.
Peppers Coorabel Resort is a stunning haven nestled amongst 66 acres of lush sub-tropical rainforest hinterland just 15 minutes from Byron Bay, offering a tranquil and exquisite wedding location. The Crystal Castle provides a breathtakingly beautiful landscape and a unique wedding experience – take your vows amidst the amazing crystals and mystical statues of this truly enriching location.

For smaller weddings, luxurious houses in town or the hinterland offer multiple guestrooms and may provide the perfect location for your ceremony and reception.
