Testimonials

“Scott & I would like to say a huge “thank you” to you all at Reef Palms Golf & Leisure Complex. The ceremony & reception for our wedding was just perfect, everything we could have dreamed of and more!! Your staff were very friendly and wonderful, the food was absolutely perfect, compliments to the chef. Our guests just raved about the food and we even have other friends that weren’t at our wedding say that they have heard nothing but the BEST about the food and service at our reception. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts, it has been a pleasure dealing with you.”

Many thanks,

We would like to thank Reef Palms Resort, Zilzie Bay for making our wedding a huge success and the most enjoyable day and evening for our guests. We planned and organised the day from Brisbane, all questions and concerns were answered quickly and efficiently and our Wedding Coordinator, Rita made sure that the whole day went without a hitch, including being flexible when we were a little off schedule. We are truly grateful to all the staff at Reef Palms Resort, from the chefs and kitchen staff who created a delicious buffet to the waiting staff who made sure our friends and family were looked after. Reef Palms Resort is definitely a gorgeous place to get married! We are both glad we chose Reef Palms for our wedding venue – it has been a wonderful wedding experience, and definitely a fantastic day to remember!
