Elements of Byron, Byron Bay

You can’t get much closer to the beach than Elements of Byron. This luxury wedding venue is Byron Bay’s only absolute beachfront resort, offering a range of both indoor and outdoor event spaces amongst lush natural surrounds and unbeatable ocean views.

There are several beautiful locations dotted throughout the resort, but our favourite would have to be the iconic “Heart of the Bay” – an elevated grass pavillion (perfect for marquees) with panoramic views right out to the Byron lighthouse. Elements also offers luxury on-site accommodation, along with a dedicated events team to coordinate your day.

Ancora, Tweed Heads South

Ancora might not technically be beachfront – but with direct water views, we reckon it comes close enough! Situated in South Tweed Heads overlooking the Terranora Inlet, Ancora has quickly become one of our favourite waterfront wedding venues on the Tweed Coast, with seriously beautiful interiors. We’re talking glass windows, arched ceilings, timber floors and an epic marble bar – plus, an intimate outdoor garden for sun-soaked ceremonies by the water.
