Port Macquarie, NSW

Our Port Macquarie ceremony location is a sandy beach nestled into a rocky headland. You can choose to say I Do on the sand or the grass. The stunning headland is home to an adorable lighthouse (she looks great in photos), and the beach has that perfect flour-like white sand that really says ‘paradise’.

Port Macquarie is perfect for couples wanting to have a relaxed ceremony, without too much fuss or drama or associated expense. Its stunningly beautiful here- but it’s almost as if nobody else has noticed. Perfect for two people wanting an intimate elopement.

Location highlights: The best thing about this location is the option to choose a stunning headland with 180-degree water views and a charming 1870s lighthouse or, get right down on the sand and get married on the beach. Both are beautiful, so it’s a hard choice. From the headland you might even spot a passing whale. On the beach the solitude and serenity, clear water and pristine sand will make your heart sing.

Local features: Port Macquarie isn’t as overrun by tourists as other destination wedding locations can be. You will feel like the only two love birds on the face of the earth. Find a romantic BnB or a luxury resort and celebrate here for as long as you can.

Important things to note: If you want to get married on the sand in summer try to choose a late afternoon, or maybe even a very early ceremony time. Or choose the headland option, where you can find some shade.

Other locations to consider: Be sure to check out our other locations before picking your favorite. We have a lot of options on the NSW and QLD coastline. The hardest thing will be choosing.

Just married weddings made our day easy and stress free. Emailed instructions along the way were easy to follow and kept us updated. We were assigned Lisa Newman as our celebrant and she was amazing. She made the day fun and stress free. A brilliant alternative to more traditional/registry processes. And the Queen Victoria Gardens location was beautiful with a variety of backgrounds for photos.

It was a quick but a very lovely ceremony. Hassle free for us and just right for our budget. Our celebrant Jonelle is so comfortable to be with. The Just Married admin as well is so prompt and provided us with everything we need. They even remind us with the things we need to submit. Thank You so much Just MArried Weddings. You made our wedding just the way we want it. Thank You

Incredible location for small ceremonies. My husband and I had an amazing time at our Sydney Harbour elopement with a small group of family. Jonelle was excellent and our ceremony ran smoothly. I highly recommend if you are wanting a smaller wedding.

We were married on South Perth foreshore, a really beautiful intimate ceremony. Our celebrant Brooke was really lovely and accommodating to our style of wedding. Overall the booking, paperwork and ceremony process was easy and no stress. I'm so glad we opted for South Perth foreshore vs Perth registry office.

I booked with them then cancelled because of lack of pretty and accessible location options and lost $100. Your admin and customer service was ok but very dissapointed with your locations as they are very limited and underwhelming. The photos you have on social media aren't of the exact ceremony location because you use photos from other areas that have been photographed that are away from the ceremony location. Why is one location (Hunter Valley) literally a rest area for drivers and truckers? Surely there are better options. A rest area is hardly a desirable location. Also when I browsed a beach location it looked very secluded on your social media but its not at all.
