Important Venue Information

Since Green Island is a National Park, certain regulations apply:

• Ceremonies on the beach and in the rainforest may require permits from Queensland Parks and Wildlife Services (QPWS), especially for groups larger than 11 during specific hours.
• The resort team will guide you through permit requirements to ensure a smooth planning process.
• Fresh or dried flowers are not permitted on the island due to National Park rules, but the resort can recommend trusted local suppliers in Cairns for your wedding cake and other essentials.
