Dress Code
Black Tie
Dust off the tux and wear your best dress. The grounds are grassy, so choose your footwear wisely. It can get a little cool in August, so a wrap or jacket for the evening is a smart idea.

Recovery Day
Recovery at The Beachy
The night may be over but the celebrations don't have to stop. Join us the next day at the iconic Beach Hotel, right on Byron Bay's Main Beach, for a relaxed recovery session.
Think cold beers, ocean views, pub lunch, and retelling stories from the night before. It's the perfect way to cap off an unforgettable weekend.

What's the dress code?
Black tie. Long dresses, suits and tuxedos. The ceremony and reception are mostly outdoors on grass — heels can be tricky, so block heels are a good call.
Can I drive to the venue?
No — parking isn't available on site and the roads around Sun Ranch are narrow, so all guests will travel by bus. Two buses run — one from the Byron Bay Surf Club via the Station Street coach stop in Bangalow, and one from the Federal Hotel in Alstonville — see the bus timetable for times.
What if I'm not staying near a pick-up point?
Make your way to whichever of the three stops is easiest — Byron Bay, Bangalow or Alstonville — and board there. The one worth planning ahead is the trip home: the buses drop back at those same stops from around 10:00 PM, so it's worth knowing how you'll get from your stop to your bed before the night starts. Taxis and rideshares can be thin on the ground around here late on a Friday, so book ahead if you'll need one. If you haven't locked in accommodation yet, staying within walking distance of a stop makes the whole day easier — there are some suggestions here.
What time should I arrive?
The ceremony starts at 2:30 PM sharp, with arrival at 2:00 PM. Your bus will get you there in plenty of time.
Will there be food and drinks?
Yes — canapés from 3:00 PM, a seated dinner at 5:30 PM, and drinks throughout.
Is it kid-friendly?
We're keeping the celebration an adults-only affair — we hope this gives you a chance to relax and enjoy the evening.
What if the weather turns?
Sun Ranch has beautiful covered spaces for every part of the day, so rain or shine we're sorted.
Gifts?
Your presence is the only present we need. If you'd still like to contribute, there'll be a wishing well on the night.
