Destination weddings

Wherever you're saying yes

Waiheke Island. Queenstown. Hawke's Bay. Christchurch.
And anywhere in between.

Some of the most extraordinary weddings I've been part of have happened somewhere that took a little effort to get to. And that's the thing about destination weddings in New Zealand - the location is part of the story. The ceremony should be too.

I'm based in Auckland and available to travel anywhere in New Zealand for my couples. I work regularly on Waiheke Island and have a genuine love for it. I'm actively booking ceremonies in Hawke's Bay, Christchurch and Queenstown, and I'd love to talk if you're planning something in any of those places.

Waiheke Island

Waiheke is where a lot of my most beautiful ceremonies have happened. I know the island well, I know the venues, and I know the particular kind of intimacy that Waiheke brings to a wedding day. If you're planning a ceremony at Mudbrick, Tantalus, or another Waiheke venue, I'd love to hear from you.


Queenstown

Queenstown weddings attract couples who want something genuinely spectacular. I'm available for Queenstown bookings and happy to discuss what a destination package looks like for you.


Hawke's Bay to Christchurch and everywhere in between

I grew up in Hawke's Bay and I love coming back. There's something about that region that makes for some of the most beautiful ceremonies I've ever been part of. Christchurch has a wonderful energy right now - a city that feels like it's stepping into something new after the rebuild, and the venues are reflecting that.

If you're planning a ceremony in either region, I'd love to be part of it.


A note on destination travel

For weddings beyond Auckland, I apply a travel fee that covers flights, accommodation, transport to and from the airport, and drive time where needed - everything required to arrive fully present and ready.

The earlier we confirm your booking, the more flexibility there is on flights, and I pass that saving directly on to you. If you're planning a destination wedding, getting in touch early is always worth it.

Planning something far from home?

If you're an international couple getting married in New Zealand, or a New Zealand couple planning something out of your home city, I work with destination wedding planners and venues across the country and am experienced in coordinating across distance.
