Wedding Reception Venues in Lennox Head & Ballina

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Weddings across Lennox Head & Ballina run from the beachfront to the hinterland. The area splits into four settings: Lennox Head's beach strip, Ballina town by the Richmond River, the South Ballina coast and the green hills at Teven.

Matching a setting to the kind of wedding you want:

Lennox Head by the surf: Shelter Lennox holds ceremonies on the grass across Pacific Parade from Seven Mile Beach, then a banquet from $95 per person.
A private hinterland estate: Tides Byron Estate at Teven pairs a fig tree ceremony site with a Grand Hall for up to 160, from $10,560 room hire.
Ballina resort convenience: The Island Room @ Ballina Byron Islander Resort keeps lawn vows, cocktails and dinner on one property, with canapé packages from $42.50 per person.
Ballina riverfront dining: Wharf Bar & Restaurant Ballina seats 100 to 120 at long tables beside the Richmond River.
An intimate beach ranch: the South Ballina property of Sugar Beach Ranch caps weddings at 50, with vows on the sand, in the dunes or out in a horse paddock.

Guest numbers narrow the field quickly here, since capacities range from 50 at the ranch to 160 at Teven.
