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.”

Testimonials

Gemma & Henry | March 2021

“We were sold on a Fitzroy Island wedding from the moment we glimpsed it from the ferry! We initially chose it because they provided everything in one package – a ceremony and reception venue, accommodation, catering, beverages, music and decorations. It meant we could have our families over on the island and relax without trying to organise five different vendors on the day.”

Gemma & Henry

Kath & David | April 2020

“Thank you Harriet for all the effort you have put in to make our wedding day so special. You have gone above and beyond to attend every little detail and we appreciate your commitment and support as well as your communication with us over all this time leading up to the day. “

Kath & David

Georgina & Addison | August 2020

“We are so pleased that we chose Fitzroy Island as our wedding venue. We have always been a big fan of the island so knew it was perfect for our special day! The events coordinator, Harriet, did a wonderful job from initial meeting to the day itself and we are so grateful our day was in her very capable hands. There was literally not even one thing at fault! Expectations will be met and exceeded! Thanks again Harriet for everything! We cannot fault a thing. You made one of our most memorable days as beautiful as it could be.”

Georgina & Addison

Kylie & Paul | June 2021

“After spending four hours on a day trip on Fitzroy Island, we chose it as our destination wedding venue for two reasons, the views and how amazing the staff were. We planned the entire wedding from the other side of the country by phone and email with Harriet and we were blown away at the level of service from her and her staff not only on our day but throughout our entire stay on the island. All of our expectations were met (and exceeded) and we would highly recommend anyone considering this as a venue to book it, the setting is second to none.
