Wilson Island Weddings

As you step from your dinghy into the blissful seclusion of Wilson Island, you can’t imagine a more divine destination for your wedding.

Just 40 minutes from Heron Island, this tiny coral cay right on the Great Barrier Reef offers designer-inspired tented accommodation for just six couples, each with a magnificent private ocean view.

Days are filled snorkelling and exploring the island, or just lazing in a hammock. As the sun melts into the horizon, your hosts drop by with a bottle of bubbly and canapés, followed by a resplendent gourmet feast. At Wilson, you and your guests are treated like barefoot royalty.
