Yes—you can absolutely have a destination wedding anywhere in Australia, and your celebrant can travel with you or meet you there.
Australia has no restrictions on where a marriage can take place, as long as it’s:
-
On Australian soil (or in Australian territorial waters)
-
Safe and accessible for the celebrant and witnesses
-
Not in violation of local council rules (e.g. permits may be required for public spaces)
You can get married on a beach in Byron Bay, on a vineyard in the Barossa, beside a waterfall in Tasmania, or in a backyard in Broome—it’s your day, your way.
A few practical tips:
-
Talk to your celebrant early about travel fees—many are happy to travel, but charges may apply for accommodation or mileage
-
If you’re planning a remote wedding, confirm access, weather backups, and communication with your celebrant
-
Some locations (like national parks) require permits or specific arrival times—check with the local council or park authority
