Why Choose a Live Wedding Painter in Byron Bay & the Northern Rivers?
Coast and Hinterland
Couples marry on beaches and headlands near Cape Byron, the easternmost point of mainland Australia, or in the hinterland around Bangalow and Mullumbimby, including farm and marquee weddings.
Subtropical Seasons
Winter and spring bring drier, sunny days and mild temperatures. Summer and early autumn are hot, humid and often wet, so a marquee or undercover space is essential for your painter.
Coming from the Gold Coast
Gold Coast artists are about an hour away and Brisbane artists around two. Queensland doesn't observe daylight saving, so confirm times in summer, and make sure marquees have good lighting for evening painting.
Creative by Nature
Byron's creative, laid-back culture makes live art a natural fit, from a painting of your ceremony by the sea to guest portraits through a long hinterland reception.
