Wollongong, NSW

This location is one of the best places for a beach wedding in Wollongong.  You have the choice to get married on the stunning North Beach (the quiet end) or in the adjacent Stuart Park – for an ocean view without sandy toes.  Illawarra locals will be able to continue to enjoy this idyllic ceremony location for years to come. Private, yet conveniently located for all the best restaurants and cafes, you will have your choice of a wide range of ways to celebrate after your ceremony.

Location highlights: You have the choice here of being married on the grass with a breathtaking ocean view, or on right on the sand to enjoy the soothing sound of the crashing waves and salty sea breeze. The little section of beach near where the lagoon meets the seas is much quieter than the nearby patrolled beaches, so even in summer you can enjoy the intimate beach elopement you have dreamed of.

Local features: North Wollongong is convenient for both local and out-of-town guests. Wollongong offers a range of accommodation options, from luxury hotels to cozy beachside retreats, ensuring a comfortable stay for everyone attending your micro-wedding. Sky Diving into your ceremony also an option for the brave (or crazy).

Important things to note: This area is popular with locals on a warm Saturday afternoon. We can still find you a nice spot for your ceremony but you will need to allow extra time for parking. Or consider choosing a sunset or early morning ceremony for solitude and that magic light your photographer will love.

Accessibility: For those with limited mobility still wanting to get married on the beach this is a good option as you only need to walk about 10m on sand. For wheelchair users or others who can’t walk this distance on sand your celebrant can perform the ceremony in the park and set up in a place that allows level access on a concrete path if needed.

Exact ceremony location: At Just Married Weddings, we use set locations, but not always a fixed spot within those locations. This is because our experienced celebrants (and affiliated photographers) choose the best ceremony spot on the day, based on weather, lighting, time of day, and what else is happening nearby.

You’ll always receive clear meeting point instructions before your ceremony, and your celebrant will guide you from there. If you prefer a specific spot in the park or on the sand simply let your celebrant know in advance — they’ll do their best to accommodate it and ensure the best possible experience on the day.

Other locations to consider: If you want to elope to Sydney, we have lots of locations to choose from. Or head south to Batemans Bay or Burril Lake.
