Wedding package
Lake Tekapo Lakeside Elopement
A relaxed ceremony on the turquoise shore of Lake Tekapo, with an optional aerial upgrade.
The famous turquoise lake
Lake Tekapo’s extraordinary turquoise water makes a backdrop like nowhere else. This relaxed, ground-level ceremony puts you right on the shore, with the Mackenzie Basin and the mountains around you — no helicopter required, though an aerial upgrade is there if you’d like it.
I arrange your location, celebrant, licence, flowers and photography, and make sure your day runs smoothly.
Prices are indicative and confirmed with your personal proposal.

Frequently asked questions
What does the package cost?
The Lake Tekapo lakeside package starts from NZ$6,800, with everything listed included — your seasonal bouquet and buttonhole, hair, makeup and photography. An optional aerial upgrade is available, and your personal proposal confirms the exact figure for your date.
When is the best time?
Tekapo lakeside ceremonies run from September through May. I don't plan standard weddings in June; winter and snow settings are offered separately.
