The Perfect Present for a Byron Bay Wedding

For something truly special, the inspirational sculptures at Zakay Glass Gallery are not to be missed. Or for something more practical – be it top-quality appliances, homewares, or a manual espresso machine – the Byron Bay Trading Company is well worth a visit. A visit to Private Life is a treat in itself and is certain to provide some gorgeous wedding gift options. Nearby, Reflections of Byron has an extensive range of gift and home wares.

The Perfect Extra-Curricular Activities for a Byron Bay Wedding
While the wedding party oversees the menu changes and checks the weather report you can get busy doing all the things they can’t.
Why not try the flying trapeze, kayak with the dolphins, go hot-air ballooning, learn to surf, test your nerves with sky diving, play golf, dive, bushwalk, fish, visit a Byron Bay nudist beach, learn to fire twirl, join in a local cultural activity or even just catch a film at one of the cinemas in town. For more details, check out our Activities Byron Bay page.
One of the real joys of being away from home for a few days is the excuse to eat out – a lot. Peruse our Dining Byron Bay page for details on local cafes and restaurants to explore. Be tantalised by the succulent array of mouth-watering creations crafted from fresh local produce and arranged by some of Australia’s finest chefs.
In the evening, hit the thriving Byron by Night scene. Pubs, clubs, theatres and performances abound in Byron Bay and provide year-round access to world-class acts, speakers, workshops and festivals.
So no matter how long or how short your stay, if you are coming for a Byron Bay wedding be sure to make the most of this spectacular corner of the world while you are here.
