Congratulations’ You are about to begin a journey, on board a vessel we call marriage. Excited & intoxicated with anticipation of the extended voyage and its carriage. 

Hello my name is Donna Fornasiero; I am an authorized Civil Marriage Celebrant and a Commissioner for Declarations. I am also one of the few female commercial skippers in the area of the Whitsunday Islands area.

I have resided permanently in Airlie Beach, “The Whitsundays” since 2000. My work as a commercial skipper brought me up here and since that time I have fallen in love with the area of its beautiful scenery, its turquoise blue waters and its magical atmosphere of serenity.

Marriage Celebrants are appointed by the Attorney-General to authorise marriages within Australia. I was appointed as a celebrant in September 2007 and have been officiating weddings, reaffirmation ceremonies and commitment ceremonies since that time. The reasons behind my deciding to become a celebrant were, when I was out on charter my guests on the boat were always asking if I could marry them, legally unfortunately you cannot unless you become authorized like myself. I also thought at the time what a beautiful idea, how traditional and romantic.

However due to the issues of conflict of interest according to the Marriage Celebrants section I must make it clear I am only allowed to act as a celebrant on the day of a couple ‘s wedding day and in no way act as a skipper, but can give you guidance to help you find the perfect place.

I am happy to officiate from small private weddings to large family gatherings. Every Ceremony I compose and design is written with love and warmth and personilzed to each individual couple.

I see myself as a young vibrant modern celebrant, with high regards to commitment to detail and providing a service that suits the needs of the couple. It is your wedding and you should get what you dream of.
