Frida's Field

Here's how it works:

1. Download our Welcome Pack - read through and ask any questions that come to mind
2. Request a quote — reach out with your preferred date, estimated guest numbers, and any catering preferences and we'll put together a clear, itemised quote for you.
3. Have a venue tour - come and experience the space in person
4. Review and confirm — when you're ready to go ahead, we'll send through our Booking Confirmation Form. Read through the terms & conditions carefully and ask any questions you have.
5. Secure your date — return the signed form along with your deposit (50% of the venue hire fee) and confirmation of your booked wedding planner. Once we have these, your date is locked in.

Your final catering selections aren't due until three months before your wedding, so there's plenty of time to make those decisions.

A few things set us apart. First, the food. Our Head Chef Ally Waddell has been awarded the SMH Good Food Guide Hat three times at Frida's Field (2023, 2024, and 2026), and the dining experience we offer is genuinely restaurant-quality — not typical wedding catering. We are dedicated to local souring with weekly shops at the Byron Bay Farmers Market plus growing some produce ourselves.

Second, the setting. The property is oriented to capture golden hour light across the fields, with towering trees, lush green pasture, and hinterland views in every direction. The restaurant is a large flexible space that was architecturally designed to bring those views inside.

Third, we keep things intimate. We host only around 15–20 weddings per year — just one per weekend — so every couple receives our full focus and care.

And finally, sustainability is genuinely built into everything we do. From our 33kW solar system to our composting program, our market garden, and our policy of planting a tree for every wedding, we're proud of the kind of place we're building.

Frida's Field suits couples who love natural beauty, exceptional food, and a relaxed-luxe atmosphere. The venue's palette — exposed timber roof trusses, recycled brick, polished concrete, and soft drapery — provides a neutral, organic backdrop that works beautifully with everything from wildflower bohemian to sleek modern minimalist. The venue doesn't lock you into a single aesthetic. Our couples have brought wildly different visions to life here, and the space is flexible enough to transform with the right styling and florals.

A few important things to be aware of:

A professional wedding planner and on-the-day coordinator are required. This is non-negotiable and must be confirmed at the time of booking. We do this to ensure your day runs seamlessly — and we have a great list of recommended planners if you need somewhere to start.

Guests must travel to and from the venue by bus. Due to the nature of the property, all guests (other than the immediate bridal party and suppliers) must arrive and depart by pre-arranged bus transport. Your wedding planner will help organise this.

Wedding event insurance is required. All couples must hold $10M public liability event insurance before their wedding takes place.

No DIY setups. Any installation of décor, lighting, or florals must be carried out by your coordinator, stylist, or professional supplier — not family members or the bridal party.

Our curfew is firm. Music is off at 10:00pm and all guests must have departed by 10:30pm. This is a council and licensing requirement with no flexibility.

Minimum food and drink spend. In addition to your venue hire fee, there is a minimum spend of $7,500 on food and beverages.

We are not BYO. We are a fully licensed venue and provide full beverage service. Couples have a range of options to choose from and then we take care of the rest - from ordering through to delivery, storage, and service on the day, everything is handled for you — so you can simply relax and enjoy your celebration without needing to think about a thing.

Yes — Frida’s Field is a great wet weather venue. The restaurant is a large open-plan space that feels bright and airy even with the barn doors open in the rain, so you always have natural light, fresh air, and those gorgeous hinterland views.

If rain is forecast for your ceremony, we move your florals onto the covered veranda and set up the ceremony inside the barn or on the veranda itself — which still makes for beautiful photos with the rolling fields as a backdrop. The final call is made the day before your wedding based on the official Bureau of Meteorology forecast.

If you'd like extra peace of mind, you also have the option to hire a marquee or Sperry tent to cover the gravel ceremony area. Some couples book these on standby and make the final call the day before — a 10m × 16m Sperry tent fits the space perfectly and looks stunning. Your wedding planner will help you plan for every contingency well in advance, so whatever the weather, your day runs smoothly.

Frida's Field comfortably seats up to 120 guests, with all reception furniture, tableware, and glassware included for that number. Our absolute maximum is 150 guests — for groups over 120 you may need to hire in additional furniture and tableware, and a surcharge of $11 per person applies to cover extra staffing.

Yes — you're welcome to bring in your own suppliers. We don't require you to use a fixed preferred list. However, all suppliers must be approved by Frida's Field management before being booked, and they'll need to complete our supplier agreement form and provide evidence of public liability insurance (minimum $20M cover) before the wedding.

A great starting point for finding local suppliers who are already familiar with our venue is the Byron Bay Weddings supplier directory. Any supplier listed there has already been pre-approved and won't need to complete our agreement form again.

For wedding planning and coordination specifically, all couples are required to use a professional, approved wedding planner and on-the-day coordinator. Our top recommendation is Byron Bay Weddings, though we also work regularly with Blossom Gatherings, La Mondaine, The Wedding Agency Byron Bay and Creative Weddings Byron Bay. And we are open to working with other professional wedding planners.

Frida’s Field is located at 76 Booyong Road, Nashua - 25 minutes inland from central Byron Bay and 10 minutes from the quaint village of Bangalow. Serviced by 2 airports - the Ballina-Byron Gateway Airport is 30 minutes away and the Gold Coast International Airport is a 50 minute drive.

Yes, our hatted restaurant team provides all food and drink catering for weddings at Frida’s Field. Our packages generally offer roaming canapés for cocktail hour and shared style feasting for reception; with your choice of how many dishes you would like your guests to enjoy. You have the option to add on oyster stations; grazing tables; late-night snacks etc. We can also do cocktail style receptions. We offer drinks packages curated by our award-winning sommelier which provide bottomless bubbles, beers, cider, rose, white and red for 6 hours, with the option to add on cocktails, champagne towers, spirits and extra hours of service. We can do bar tabs upon request within specific parameters.

Frida’s Field has a gorgeous bridal suite cottage on-site which sleeps two guests. It is available as an optional add-on for couples to hire as accommodation. It is also available as a space to get ready on the day of your wedding for brides and bridesmaids or grooms and groomsmen. Some couples use this space as a place to have a “first viewing” and/or a toast with immediate family before their ceremony. Featured on the cover of Country Style Magazine, The Cottage is a recently renovated 1890s coach house, with a stunning cathedral ceiling, rough-hewn exposed beams, and polished floorboards. A magnificent two meter-square northeast-facing window fills the open-planned space with natural light and sweeping countryside views. The space is framed by a spectacular old fig tree. It is a great space for photos.

Car parking is provided for 6 cars which are reserved for the immediate wedding party, elderly or pregnant guests only. An additional 6 car spots are available for suppliers directly involved with the event. Parking for guests with special circumstances can be prearranged with management. To comply with responsible service of alcohol legislation, the majority of guests must arrive and depart by bus. There are numerous local bus companies which provide transfer services to and from Frida’s Field with prices depending on the date and number of guests at your wedding (e.g. Byron Bay Coaches and Steve’s Transport provide return bus transfers starting at just over $1,000).

Yes! We understand that your dog may be an important part of your family and, with prior approval, we’re happy for up to two dogs to join you for your ceremony and wedding photos.

To make sure everything runs smoothly, there are a few simple conditions:

• Prior approval: Your dog must be approved by Frida’s Field in advance.
• A dedicated pet sitter: You’ll need to arrange a pet sitter who is responsible for your dog for the entire time they are on the property. They cannot be part of the bridal party or have other wedding responsibilities.
• Ceremony & photos only: Dogs can be involved in your ceremony and photos, but must leave the property immediately afterwards. Dogs are not permitted at the reception, inside the venue or in The Cottage.
• Well-behaved and supervised: Dogs must be comfortable around people and other animals and remain on a lead unless we specifically agree otherwise for photographs. They must never be left unattended.
• Looking after your pet: Your pet sitter is responsible for water, welfare and cleaning up after your dog.
• Responsibility: The couple is responsible for their dog’s behaviour and for any injury or damage caused by their dog while at Frida’s Field.

We want your four-legged family members to enjoy their moment in the spotlight while ensuring the day remains safe, relaxed and enjoyable for everyone.
