Lake Wanaka Wedding

Lake Wanaka Lakeside Wedding

Wanaka is not just a location; it’s a dream waiting to be realised. If you choose this enchanting destination for your wedding, you will surely fall in love with the hidden gem that is Wanaka.

Eloping to Wanaka for your dream wedding ceremony promises to create unforgettable memories. Picture yourself exchanging vows with your loved one beside the stunning waters of Lake Wanaka, embraced by majestic mountain ranges.

A captivating town in Otago at the southern end of Lake Wanaka and the start of the Clutha River shines brightly as a premier destination. Summer beckons with water sports and leisure, while Winter transforms it into a skiing paradise.

With the beautiful landscape and the tranquillity that Wanaka offers, makes it clear that eloping here is more than just a wedding; it’s the beginning of a journey paved with magical memories.

The time you spend in this enchanting land, by the beautiful lake, will forever hold a special place in your heart. A reminder that sometimes, the best way to say “I do” is in the simplicity of love, with nature as your only witness.

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.
