Dal & Lou’s Big Day!

Flying to Byron:

If you're coming from Sydney, Melbourne or Perth your best bet is to fly Virgin or JetStar into Ballina. There are several flights per day. There is also the option to fly into Coolangatta airport on the Gold Coast and drive down to Byron (about an hour's drive).

Car Hire:

Both airports offer car hire services.

Airport transfers to Byron & hotels:

There are bus services from both airports to Byron Bay. You could also Uber from Ballina to Byron (about 30min). If you are flying in to Coolangatta we would not recommend relying on Uber as it's about a 60 min drive.

Driving to Byron:

From Sydney, this is an epic road trip, one that we have done several times! It's about 11 hours all up but we'd recommend doing it over a few days - there's heaps of great spots to stop along the way. Let us know if you are planning to drive and we can recommend some places!

There are tons of hotels, Airbnbs and campgrounds in and around the Byron area.

Staying in town means you're close to cafes, restaurants and shops. We recommend staying anywhere between Ruskin St and Main Beach. You'd be ok not having a car if you stay around here. There are plenty of Ubers and taxis.

There are some gorgeous areas outside of central Byron which will be much more chill. Wategos, Tallow Beach, Belongil, Suffolk Park and Ewingsdale are all great but we'd only recommend staying here if you are planning on renting a car. If you are planning on staying outside of central Byron, keep in mind the bus to and from the wedding will only stop in two locations in central Byron.

For recommendations on where to eat, drink & shop, here is Lou's Byron Google Map!

As this will be the first time we're back in Australia since moving to New York, we're keen to spend as much time with you all as possible! We'll be in Byron from the beginning of the week and will be updating the Wedding Whatsapp group with our movements. If you're planning on heading up to Byron a little earlier, we'd love to hang out!

We have organised bus transport for guests to and from the wedding.

There are 2 pick-up locations;

1. Byron Surf Club, 20 Bay St at 1:35PM

2. Shirley St bus shelter (opposite Eco Beach Resort, 35-37 Shirley St) at 1:40PM

At the end of the night the bus will drop guests back at the two pick-up locations.

Please note the drive out to the venue is ~20 mins. You can bring drinks on the bus, but please take them with you otherwise we'll get a pretty hefty charge. Please note you cannot take drinks with you from the venue at the end of the night.

Whilst we love all your little ones, we unfortunately cannot accommodate children at the ceremony or reception. There is, however, a house on the property 60 metres from where the ceremony and reception will be held where we will set up a ‘daycare’ and organise for a number of nannies to look after your little ones throughout the day! please indicate in your rsvp if you’d like this option so we can organise enough nannies. alternatively, you may wish to organise your own childcare at your accommodation.

For the littlest of little ones who are still in car seats, please get in touch with us and we can organise parking for you at the venue as we know you can't take them on the bus. If your children are old enough to ride the bus, we ask that they join you on the bus to the venue as parking is very limited onsite.

The kiddies are more than welcome to join us at the welcome drinks and recovery party!

Having you make the effort to come to Byron Bay for the wedding is the ultimate gift.

However, if you would like to mark the occasion of our wedding with a gift, then we would be more than grateful to receive a small contribution towards our next adventure.

More than anything, we hope that you can make it on the day so please don't feel obliged in any way.

You will have to make your own arrangements to get to the recovery party.

The venue is about ~15 mins from central Byron. There is parking at the venue and you should have no issues getting an Uber / Taxi during the day.

We will be setting up a Wedding Whatsapp group and will post the link here to join once ready.

We'd love all of your photos! We'll set up a shared photo account for everyone to drop their photos in and/or find photos and we'll share the link here.

Because I’ve gotten this question so many times already!

Sage.
