A Lake Tekapo Wedding is one you will never forget.
You can either have a Lake Tekapo Wedding on the beautiful shoreline, or get married in the magnificent Church of the Good Shepherd, it’s up to you.
The Church of the Good Shepherd in Lake Tekapo was built in 1935, in memorial of the Pioneers. The Church has since made its way in the hearts of many couples wishing to experience the ultimate destination wedding to New Zealand.
Built to last in lakeside stone and oak, The Church of the Good Shepherd was the first Church built in the Mackenzie basin. Â As you exchange your vows in front of your loved ones, The Church of the Good Shepherd offers you a breath-taking view of the Mackenzie Country through the alter window. When casting your gaze across the crystal clear glacial waters of Lake Tekapo to the Southern Alps, you can imagine you are the only two people in this seemingly untouched world.
Every season is perfect for a Lake Tekapo Wedding
Although winter offers a wonderland wedding, with a white backdrop of snow and crystal clear days, any season is a visual delight in Lake Tekapo. Winter offers the opportunity to share your bond with your family to a winter land backdrop of snow and icicles.
