Port Macquarie (and right along the Mid North Coast for that matter) has big blue skys, crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches and multiple fab options for wedding venues and accommodation to suit your style and guest list.

I’ve lived in Port Macquarie for the last 15 years and I’m super proud to call it home. I love to travel of course (mostly to destinations and places that aren’t on google maps), but nothing beats coming home to Port and it truly has so much to offer for couples wanting to have a beautiful wedding whether it’s an intimate affair or something more opulent.

There are some fantastic venues and unique spots for your wedding ceremony, particularly if you are seeking a coastal or hinterland outdoor, relaxed, chic vibe. There really are many picturesque backdrops for your wedding ceremony and photoshoots. Imagine exchanging vows with the sparkling ocean as your backdrop or taking romantic photos amidst the vibrant, subtropical gardens. Just some of our dreamy ceremony spots include:

  • Flagstaff Point

  • Harry’s Lookout

  • Little Bay

  • Grant’s Beach

  • Sails Resort

  • Mansfield Estate

Whether you want instaworthy ocean backdrops, sand between your toes, love between the vines or birds chirping in the gum trees, there are so many beautiful and stunning options to consider.

One of the many perks of choosing Port Macquarie as your wedding destination is its mild and pleasant climate throughout the year. Whether you're planning a summer beach wedding or a cozy winter celebration, Port Macquarie's temperate climate ensures that your special day goes off without a hitch, regardless of the season. Note we highly recommend cozy winter weddings the weather is gorgeous, venue and vendor availability is way better and it’s not as crowded to ensure you get that holiday down time too.
