A Hamilton Island Wedding

Posted by geoff on December 8, 2008

At the end of November Cathy and I visited Hamilton Island for four days for a short break before the Christmas rush. This time we stayed in the Reef View Hotel and our room was on the 18th floor with spectacular views over Whitsunday Island and the Coral Sea. I never cease to be impressed with the standard that is maintained here. All the rooms in the Reef View Hotel have just beeen fully refurbished again and the standard is just fantastic. We arrived on the Friday and on the Saturday which was my birthday we were joined by my son Joel and my daughter Rachel who was accommanied by her boyfriend Matthew. As luck would have it Matthew decided the time was right to pop the question and borrowed the presidential suite on the 19th floor to complete his formalities. Fortunatly for him, Rachel agreed and we joined them for celebratory champagne before dinner.

All of this now means that we are now having to arrange their nuptials for June 2009 and a return to Hamilton Island is definatly on the cards. We did a bit of investigation on a Hamilton Island wedding before we left and they certainly make it easy. Firstly there is a dedicated wedding planner to take over the organision for you. The chapel is magnificent and is situated high on the hill overlooking the ocean There are wedding cars, celebrants, flowers, hairdressing and beauty and a range of reception options all available to choose from. Hamilton Island is the ideal wedding destination as guests can fly in direct from anywhere in Australia and combine a short holiday with the celebrations.
