Our Celebrant

We would also like to introduce to you Adrienne Doyle, our resident celebrant.

‘When I first came here I was amazed at the beauty of the island and its surrounds and the ease of access from Cairns. I love watching the weddings that are regularly held on the island and I thought what a great privilege it would be to be involved in and share the joy of that special day with couples getting married in such a delightful venue. I qualified as a registered marriage celebrant and have been conducting weddings on the island since 2014.

I love living on the island. I like meeting new people, determining their particular wishes and requirements for their special day, guiding them through the preparations and statutory requirements of a wedding and then sharing their special day with family and friends.

I would love to discuss your wedding here on Fitzroy Island, you may contact me through the Events Team and I look forward to hearing from you soon.”
