Not too far from the central Gold Coast area is the incomparable Byron Bay. From hinterlands to clear open beaches and amazing accommodation this is the most beautiful, easily accessible and diverse wedding location for any look and feel you're searching for.

But when should you get married? Of course you should take into consideration important dates to you and your partner, as well as public holidays to make travelling easy (or for avoiding higher prices). But you should also take into account the best season for the area.

The Gold Coast is known for being warmer and often more humid during the warmer months, so for the perfect not-too-hot-that-the-in-laws-complain weather we thoroughly recommend getting married at the tail end of winter (late August) or early Spring (September - October) if you're planning to stay in the area. Leaving? Escape the cold by setting the date for late April/early May.

Another thing to consider is when peak season hits - you can find this information generally from hotel booking sites to see when prices spike.

But where will you stay? This day is about pampering yourself, which means that you should be able to come home to incredible, clean and friendly accommodation.
