Wedding Reception Venues in the Byron Hinterland

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

The Byron Hinterland is where many couples marry when they want green hills, rainforest edges and guests staying close by. The reception venues spread across several small localities, each with a different style of day.

Six settings for a hinterland reception:

Coorabell: Coorabell Estate takes weddings only, with a 30-acre property, marquee lawns and venue-only hire from $2,200 room hire.
Clunes: Nutting Hill Villa pairs a Tuscan-style villa with a timber chapel and a Plantation Room seating up to 200.
Coopers Shoot: Sun Ranch runs multi-day weddings across 55 acres, with beds for 34 on a full buyout.
McLeods Shoot: Cape Byron Distillery hosts wedding drinks on its rainforest balcony.
Nashua and Possum Creek: Frida's Field serves farm-grown feasts from $137.50 per person, and The Hut Byron Bay offers banquets from $139 per person.

Decide early whether you want a venue that supplies food and staff or a blank estate where you bring every supplier in.
