Byron Bay & Northern Rivers Weddings and Elopements

Ceremonies that feel like you — heartfelt, modern, and unforgettable.

Picture this: the sun setting over the ocean in Byron Bay, the green hills of the Northern Rivers behind you, or a gathering of loved ones in a place that already feels like home. Your wedding or elopement is a moment you will never forget, and it deserves to be filled with joy, connection, and meaning.

Your ceremony should tell your story in a way that feels natural and true, while giving you and your guests goosebumps for all the right reasons.

I’m Rach, a marriage celebrant based in the Northern Rivers, and my role is to help bring that vision to life. With a background in high-end events and a talent for storytelling, I create ceremonies that are relaxed, personal, and full of heart. I’ll guide you through the process, take care of the legal side, and make sure your wedding or elopement feels seamless from start to finish.

Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but this part should feel easy and exciting. Together we will create a ceremony that feels like you, surrounded by the beauty of Byron Bay and the Northern Rivers.

Here’s What You Can Expect

From our very first conversation to the moment you walk back down the aisle as a married couple, you can expect a ceremony that feels effortless, joyful, and deeply personal.

  • A ceremony that feels like you – Whether it’s a barefoot elopement on a Byron Bay beach or a big celebration in the Northern Rivers hinterland, your ceremony will be crafted to reflect your story, your style, and your love.

  • Support every step of the way – From vow-writing tips to music ideas and local recommendations, I’ll give you the tools to feel confident and excited about your ceremony.

  • Calm and clear guidance – You don’t need to know what to do or say, I’ll walk you through it all and make the process easy.

  • A relaxed, joy-filled presence on the day – I’ll arrive early, coordinate with your vendors, and make sure everything flows beautifully so you can be fully present in the moment.

No awkward pauses. No scripted clichés. Just a celebration that feels warm, genuine, and unforgettable — the kind of ceremony that has your guests laughing one minute and reaching for tissues the next.

How It All Works

Step 1: Let’s connect
We’ll start with a relaxed chat, either online or in person, so you can get a feel for me and share what you’re dreaming of for your wedding or elopement.

Step 2: Lock it in
If it feels like the right fit, I’ll send you a quote and contract. Once your $300 booking fee is paid, your date is officially secured.

Step 3: Bring your ceremony to life
Together we’ll get the legal paperwork sorted and start shaping your ceremony. You’ll also get access to my exclusive online resource library, packed with vow-writing guides, music suggestions, and trusted local vendor recommendations across Byron Bay and the Northern Rivers.

Step 4: Your wedding day
I’ll arrive early, work seamlessly with your vendors, prepare your vow cards and paperwork, and bring a calm, joy-filled energy to your ceremony. All you need to do is soak up the moment and celebrate.

Step 5: You’re officially married
After the big day, I’ll lodge all the paperwork with Births, Deaths and Marriages and request your official marriage certificate so you can get on with the exciting parts like changing your name if you wish.
