My wife and I live in the UK and flew out to get married on the island at the start of January 2014 and it was just amazing. The island is obviously stunning and the staff were fantastic, especially as we weren't even supposed to be there!

Heron Island, our original destination, had a fire on Christmas Day and we were fortunate enough to be moved to Lizard Island along with our photographers and now third celebrant for no extra cost, we massively lucked out and we cannot thank the company enough for doing this!
We were in the middle of a four week round the world trip and finding out 10 days before arrival, whilst packing to leave New York, that your wedding venue was shutdown due to a fire was fairly stressful. But with the help of a fantastic customer services manager, a lot of late night Skype calls to Australia and the UK we resolved most of it in about 4 hours, seriously, outstanding customer service!!

We were really well looked after when we arrived, the staff took us out on the boat to scout for the spot to get married (we were having a beach wedding) and we chose Secret Beach on one of the neighbouring small islands (Palfrey Island), it was just perfect.
After getting married late afternoon we got back to the island and the wife was getting really overheated so the staff took us to the freezer in the kitchen to cool down, where else would you get that service?!

The food was unbelievably good, especially the dessert on our wedding meal, oh and I got to try Morton Bay Bug for the first time too which was great!

The accommodation was beautiful and everything you could want and more was there. Water flower bowl in the front porch, tranquil music playing on the sound system... great touches!

Sadly the island suffered a lot of damage very shortly after we left after a typhoon went directly through the island, I even checked the reef monitoring sensors and you could tell that they got the eye of the storm.

That said, having seen the new videos and pictures after the rebuild the island is now looking better than ever!

We will be going back one day to celebrate a major wedding anniversary and we cannot wait.

Thank you Lizard Island for making our wedding so memorable!!
