Earnslaw Burn Heli Elopement wedding`

Earnslaw Burn – New Zealand Magical Wedding

This fantasy New Zealand wedding is set in a magical location where waterfalls flow down huge mountains of rocks, glacial snow and ice cascades down the mountainside, and the views are breathtaking from every angle.

Created over time, the awe-inspiring Earnslaw Glacier featured in Peter Jackson’s movie, ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’.

Via Queenstown, this luxury wedding package and helicopter flight has been designed to take you to an exclusive landing site below the Earnslaw Glacier for a truly romantic location to say your vows.

We would love to help you make all your dreams come true! Our wedding planner will work with you every step of the way to create and fulfil your dream wedding.

*Ask about our extended helicopter landings to other locations after Earnslaw Burn for photo shoots.

Working personally with your Marriage celebrant, you can create a beautiful story written for the two of you that tells your journey and feelings. This story will forever remind you of the day you said “I do” in a magical, fairy-tale location. The bonus is that you have a fantastic photographer who captures all your moments without crowding you—an award-winning photographer who will capture the essence of your day.

Your wedding planner has over 24 years experience of planning elopement weddings in New Zealand.
