"We are very happy to be back in Australia," the couple, both 38, said in a joint statement.
"We have come home to celebrate our wedding with our family and friends." Kidman said.
The couple met in January 2005 at an awards dinner in Los Angeles.
Kidman was married to Hollywood actor Tom Cruise for a decade and adopted two children, Connor and Isabelle, with him.
This will be Urban's first marriage. The couple confirmed their engagement in May after months of speculation.
The actress was born in Hawaii while Urban was born in New Zealand. Both were brought up in Australia.
Earlier this week, Kidman said she had moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where Urban is based.
The actress won an Oscar in 2003 for her role as Virginia Woolf in The Hours. Recent projects include Fur, in which she plays photographer Diane Arbus, and thriller The Visiting.
Country star Urban won a Grammy Award for best male country vocal performance last year
