Between the ocean proximity, the damn-good eating and drinking and the charming townships of the surrounding hinterland, it’s the kind of place you can get hitched at and then hang around to honeymoon.
The venues below are scattered throughout the Byron Bay region and each and every one of them has something special to offer. Whether you’re after ocean views, a century old farmhouse or an iconic barn, we’ve got you covered.

The Belongil
An open plan restaurant overlooking Belongil Beach, this laid back space is a good choice for a few reasons: 1) You can have a beautiful beach ceremony. 2) You don’t have to organise much (furniture, food and staff are all included). And 3) You’re only a 10 minute walk from Byron Bay’s town centre. What’s not to love?
