Snow Elopement Weddings New Zealand

If you’re dreaming of snow underfoot and mountains all around, a winter elopement in New Zealand might be exactly what you’ve been looking for. Whether it’s Queenstown, Lake Tekapo, Wanaka, or Mt Cook, these regions offer some of the most breathtaking alpine backdrops in the country, especially in winter.

You can take a helicopter to a remote snowy peak, exchange vows beside a glacier, or say “I do” while fresh snow falls around you, with every detail planned to suit the season, light, and the kind of day you imagine.

With nearly 30 years of experience planning snow weddings in New Zealand, I’m here to offer guidance, answer questions, and help you explore what’s possible, always shaped around what matters most to you.
