WEDDINGS AT THE FIG TREE
The experience of arriving at the Fig Tree Restaurant in Byron Bay is sure to leave a lasting memory. The feelings that run through you as you first take in the majestic Fig Tree up close, then the lighthouse view and beyond are hard to describe.
They say you have to visit a place to truly feel its soul and genuinely know that it is the place for you. The Fig Tree is certainly a place that touches a lot of people’s hearts – particularly when they walk around the corner of the Farmhouse to behold such breathtaking views.
If that hasn’t grabbed you, the Fig Tree family are ready to add a warmth beyond any other with their heartfelt welcome and humble appreciation of you coming into their home.
It exists as an award-winning restaurant, established in 1981 on 8 acres with a citrus orchard and thriving vegetable garden from which much of the menu’s produce is derived. There is a strong ethos of garden to plate. If the produce cannot be grown on-site, it is sourced from the abundance of local farms across the fertile Byron region.
Whilst enjoying the different aspects, you can find yourself lounging on the daybeds under the grapevine canopy or taking a stroll through the olive grove where a Mediterranean charm comes to life.
Picture your day unfolding with a ceremony under the magnificent 150-year-old, jaw-dropping Moreton Bay fig tree – one of the pinnacle features of the entire property. Guests are then invited down to the new poolside space for an afternoon of roaming canapés and cocktails before dining above in the elegantly converted and elevated farm-house – which by the way, doesn’t skip out on any of the marvellous views!

PLANNING YOUR DAY
To help you with your wedding planning, you will have your own personal wedding planner and On the day Coordinator.
Your Byron Bay Weddings planner will lock in a series of phone calls or meetings
with you to help you through all of the details in planning your wedding day. We find that phone conversations are most effective and responses a lot more efficient than emails.
Aspects such as hire items, lighting, menus, floor plans and seating charts, on the day supplier schedule, styling and logistics, are examples of areas you will cover with your planner. This is made up of more than 50 hours of correspondence between Byron Bay Weddings and yourself, enquiries, viewings, quote building, decision making, agenda adjusting, food tasting, phone chats, appointments, bookings and updates.
Every detail is considered during this time before the planner hands over to the On the day Coordinator to run everything, as planned.
YOUR CEREMONY
& RECEPTION OPTIONS
There’s beautiful options for your ceremony, cocktails and reception. All options enjoy a stunning backdrop overlooking Byron Bay and under the iconic fig tree.
UNDER THE FIG TREE
This is probably one of the most iconic ceremony locations in Australia. The old fig tree frames the ceremony area, with guests looking out over rolling green
hills, Cape Byron and the Lighthouse. The ceremony area is staged on crushed white gravel.
BY THE POOL UNDER THE PAVILION
The pavilion by the pool is the perfect location for your ceremony in t
he event of wet weather. The wet weather ceremony area is framed under the grapevines and the surrounding greenery.
INSIDE THE FARMHOUSE
The old farmhouse restaurant is transformed into your reception, with floor to ceiling windows none of the marvellous view is restricted.
CATERING OPTIONS
The Fig Tree prides itself on amazing food and exceptional service, handmade cocktails and carefully prepared dishes to excite and satisfy your guests.
We source most of the produce from our own vegetable garden and orchard, with the rest coming from our neighbours’ paddocks, fields and the ocean that surrounds Byron Bay.
Each wedding couple are invited to the Fig Tree to experience the wonderful food and service with a complimentary 7-course degustation.
FIG TREE MENU - Enjoy a lavish banquet or tasting menu at your reception.
Dates book out quickly for the complimentary dining experience. We suggest booking at least 3 months in advance.

ARRANGE A TASTING
Once your wedding is locked in, each couple is invited to the Fig Tree to experience the wonderful food and service with a complimentary 6-course dining experience with the menu designed on the day by Che and his team of international chefs.

You are welcome to try the food anytime or invite additional guests to your complimentary dining experience. Additional guests are $120PP. If there’s certain dishes that you would like to sample from the wedding menu, a specialised tasting can be arranged for you at $120PP.

For your ease, we will include our recommendations for quantities (based on your guest numbers) in your personalised quote.

This service will incur a 20% surcharge to cover the additional staff time and return transport during the wedding.

FINDING THE BEST
WEDDING SUPPLIERS
We have searched the region far and wide to find the best of the best wedding suppliers that we love working with and who offer a very high standard of product and service.
You can find this curated list of suppliers on our website under ‘Our Tribe.’
These service providers are the best of the best and will ensure your day turns out as everything you had envisaged and more! We encourage you to use these suppliers as your go to for all your wedding needs. Chat with your planner if you need help with who out of these suppliers might be the best fit for what you are after.
MUSIC AND CURFEWS
We work with the region’s most sought after musicians and DJs and we have created a perfect formula to ensure you get to enjoy the best music and create a memorable wedding vibe throughout your entire day.
At the Fig Tree, all booked musicians must be chosen from our list of pre-approved musicians listed on our website under ‘Our Tribe’.
If you’re into live music, we suggest booking an acoustic duo/trio to play during canapé and cocktail hour. This sets the scene and vibe for a beautiful day, then later you can bust out on the dance floor to a playlist or DJ.
We encourage an early start time, with guests arriving around 1pm or 2pm for a welcome drink before the ceremony. If your wedding is outside daylight savings, this allows you to enjoy an extra couple of hours of daylight.
Want to continue dancing the night away after the wedding? Your wedding planner can help create an after party at an exclusive bar in Byron Bay.

STYLING YOUR DREAM WEDDING
We exclusively use The Wedding Shed for any additional items you may wish to hire to style your wedding. They offer a huge range of the latest trending furniture and décor making it easy to source quality items to bring your ceremony, dining or cocktail hour to life.
We suggest browsing their website and send a wish list through to your planner, or choose from one of the looks they have already created that work really well at this venue.
For those creative and style driven couples, who see their wedding day as the
perfect opportunity to make a statement, and possibly throw a wedding extravaganza of something new and never done before then you have the option to add on a Styling Package.
The Wedding Shed’s Styling Package provides you with full design and styling
services, offering guidance throughout the planning of your wedding.
WEDDING DAY TRANSPORT FOR YOUR GUESTS
Let’s start by having a look at the run of your day. This ensures that every detail is timed to perfection.
At the Fig Tree, there are 6 car spaces reserved for guests staying in the
accommodation. Buses must be arranged for all other guests.
Your wedding transport is the first and last impression your guests will have on your wedding day, so why not get all ‘Byron’ and book the Double Decker Magic Party Bus or the more classic option, the Double Decker Red London Bus. Both pump up the tunes, getting your guests in the mood on arrival, and after departure.
Your guests will be picked up in a centralised location, and usually two or three pick up and drop off points can be arranged.
Your Byron Bay Weddings planner can help you out here, as there are so many options to suit your budget and style.
Another great tip - keep your venue a secret from your guests. It adds surprise and suspense and they have to catch the bus there anyway!
