Often Overlooked Considerations for Island & Beach Wedding Locations

Magnetic Island and surrounding areas are in the dry tropics so her beautiful venues have unique considerations

Periodically sun and insects may cause slight discomfort. If you think that the sun and insects could be a problem; use sunscreen (many make-up bases contain sunscreen) and, if necessary arrange shelter for both your guests and yourselves, eg umbrellas, particularly for the young, aged or infirm; have some suitable repellent available for yourself and your guests, just in case (Liquid repellent such as Rid seem to work better than sprays or roll-ons). However, Insects are NOT usually a problem.

If your ceremony or part of it is taking place at one of the 23 beaches and bays of Magnetic Island, or some other outdoor location, it may be a beautiful place but please, consider the following well before the wedding day:
