Frida’s Field

As an award-winning farm-to-table restaurant that hosts weddings, Frida’s Field offers a stunning venue with multiple ceremony locations and outstanding photo opportunities. We also provide everything you need when it comes to food and beverage, including catering packages, catering staff, reception furniture, cutlery, crockery, glassware and servingware. You’ll need to hire a wedding planner to help organise the other elements of your wedding, including ceremony and cocktail hour furniture, decorations, entertainment and more.

A few things set us apart. First, the food. Our Head Chef, Ally Waddell, has earned an SMH Good Food Guide Hat three times (2023, 2024 and 2026), and our wedding menus offer a true restaurant-quality dining experience using the best seasonal, locally sourced produce. Second, the setting. Surrounded by sweeping hinterland views, lush green fields and beautiful gardens, our architecturally designed venue brings the landscape into every part of your celebration. Third, we intentionally host just 15 to 20 weddings each year, ensuring every couple receives our full attention. Finally, sustainability underpins everything we do, from our solar-powered venue and composting systems to our market garden and planting a tree for every wedding.

Yes, our hatted restaurant team provides all food and drink catering for weddings at Frida’s Field. Our packages generally include roaming canapés for cocktail hour and shared-style feasting for your reception, with your choice of how many dishes you’d like your guests to enjoy. You also have the option to add on oyster stations, grazing tables and late-night snacks. We can also cater cocktail-style receptions. Our drinks packages, curated by our award-winning sommelier, include bottomless bubbles, beer, cider, rosé, white and red wine for six hours, with the option to add cocktails, champagne towers, spirits and additional service hours. Bar tabs can also be arranged upon request within agreed parameters.

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.

Absolutely. We offer a range of venue hire packages at different price points and durations, and our food and beverage menus have multiple tiers to suit different budgets and tastes. Choosing a Friday over a Saturday, or getting married in June or July (when a 15% venue hire discount applies), are both great ways to make the most of your budget.

Our pricing is made up of two parts: a venue hire fee and a separate food and beverage minimum spend.

Venue hire starts from $3,750 for a shorter package and ranges up to $6,600 for a full 8-hour Saturday wedding. Friday weddings are priced lower than Saturdays, and we offer a 15% discount on venue hire for weddings held in June and July.

Food and beverage has a minimum spend of $7,500, with food and drink packages starting from $179pp.

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.

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.

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.
