- Oysters and raw bar

Canapés can be arranged in two ways: either as a half-hour service after the ceremony or a 3-hour wedding menu with eight canapés and two substantial items per guest. If you're planning a cocktail party, you can add one or two food stations, too.
For a traditional wedding meal, you can choose the Hayman BBQ menu delivering meat-based starters and mains, such as BBQ-rubbed beef ribs and baked cob loaves.
The Australian Island Experience menu, a popular choice for seated receptions, contains locally sourced ingredients, such as Whitsundays line-caught coral trout ceviche and Native Kangaroo tail ravioli.
Other menu options include:

- Island grazing menu
- 2,3 or 5-course plated meal
You can enhance the menu with post-reception snacks and an abundance of desserts.
The venue offers tailored beverage packages featuring wines, beers, soft drinks and water. Instead of beverage packages priced per person for bottomless bar service, you can pay for drinks on consumption. In that case, you'll have to preselect the drinks.
All menus and beverage packages are customisable. Work with the venue's team to create a bespoke food and beverage selection. Request more details and accommodation rates from the venue's event manager.

We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the service, the accommodation and the island experience overall. Whilst it wasn't the cheapest place we have stayed, it is certainly one of the most beautiful and relaxing experiences, and we will definitely return.We visited Hayman Island for a wedding.

Total chaos from start to finish with a wedding planner out of her depth Reception set up below high tide mark, an island resort that was not aware of tides. Cold and raw coral trout mains. Cafes without baristas, bar staff unable to make cocktails, insufficient and unskilled reception staff upon check out.

- DDisappoined_doesnt_cut_it16/08/2024Disappointing Experience at Hayman IslandDisappointing Experience at Hayman IslandGive Hayman a miss. There are other islands just as beautiful, if not more so, where you'll have a better experience. I'm not sure if it's covid related but the staff were poor and activities were constantly being cancelled. Staff in cafe couldn't make coffee. Staff at bar couldn't make cocktails. Facilities run down (toilets at pool overflowing and moldy, water bottle stations not working etc.). You pay a 5 star rate, you expect 5 star service.Give Hayman a miss.

Our Captian on the ferry, Wayne was very insightful and even allowed for us to stop and watch the spectacular show the whales put on. Also on the ferry was Shawn (or Shaun) who took down our details for check in. He was so professional, with a great sense of humour. On our arrival to Hayman Island, our rooms were so clean and comfortable.
