Say Hello
If you’ve ever dreamed of saying “I do” surr If you’ve ever dreamed of saying “I do” surrounded by snow-capped peaks, endless skies, and no one else around — our Queenstown heli wedding packages make it happen.⁠ ⁠ Perfect for adventurous couples, these New Zealand destination elopements combine the romance of an intimate ceremony with the thrill of exploring Queenstown’s alpine landscapes. From mountaintop vows to glacier landings, you’ll get views (and photos!) that are completely unforgettable. 📸❄️⁠ ⁠ We take care of every detail — from the helicopter logistics and celebrant to hair, makeup, and florals — so you can just show up, hold hands, and soak it all in.⁠ ⁠ Whether it’s a winter wonderland or a summer skyline, there’s no better way to start your next chapter than high above Queenstown. 🏔️💍⁠ ⁠ ✨ Explore our heli elopement packages online via the link in bio.
We’ll skip the ghosts and ghouls... our kind of We’ll skip the ghosts and ghouls... our kind of dress-up looks more like veils, suits, and champagne. 🥂⁠ ⁠ Happy Halloween from the Simply Perfect team! 🎃✨⁠ ⁠ @simplyperfectnz⁠ @ricky.b.good.photography
Some couples end their ceremony with champagne… Some couples end their ceremony with champagne… others with first tracks. 🎿💍⁠ ⁠ This winter, we helped one adventurous pair tie the knot on a mountaintop, then ski straight into married life — literally.⁠ From heli vows in the snow to carving down the slopes together, it was pure Queenstown magic. ❄️⁠ ⁠ @simplyperfectnz⁠ @ryandomenicophotography⁠ @queenstownweddings
It’s been a very rainy spring in Queenstown… b It’s been a very rainy spring in Queenstown… but here’s the truth: rain doesn’t ruin a wedding day. 🌧️💛 It just changes the story a little!⁠ ⁠ A few quick tips from us:⁠ ☂ Always have a solid wet-weather backup plan.⁠ 👢 Keep a pair of dry shoes nearby (you’ll thank us later).⁠ 💐 Talk to your planner about how to adapt — covered marquees, cosy indoor spaces, or creative photo options.⁠ ⁠ We’ve seen some of the most romantic weddings happen under moody skies and glistening rain. When you’ve got a good plan (and a great attitude), it’s all part of the magic.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ @simplyperfectnz⁠ @qtweddinghire⁠ @wildfolkphotography⁠ @nzhighcountry
Weddings have a funny way of adding up. One minute Weddings have a funny way of adding up. One minute it’s “just a few candles,” and the next… you’ve built an entire spreadsheet for centrepieces. 😅⁠ ⁠ Our advice? Take a breath and come back to what matters most. The most meaningful weddings we’ve seen weren’t about having everything — they were about making smart choices that reflect you.⁠ ⁠ Spend on what you’ll remember (that epic meal, incredible photos, or the mountain-top moment) and simplify the rest. You’ll be amazed how far your budget can stretch when you focus on priorities instead of perfection.⁠ ⁠ In our Simply Perfect Budget Planner, we always remind couples to leave a little wiggle room for the “hidden extras” — transport, vendor meals, or backup weather plans — so there are no surprises later. Because a wedding that feels good is always worth more than one that just looks expensive. 💛⁠ ⁠ Find our budget planner and other great wedding planning tools online via link in bio!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ @ryandomenicophotography⁠
Winter weddings are wrapping up for the season… Winter weddings are wrapping up for the season… but here’s the thing about Queenstown: the snow doesn’t always follow the rules. ☁️⁠ ⁠ We’ve seen spring ceremonies with snowy peaks and summer heli shoots that feel straight out of July.⁠ ⁠ If you’re planning a mountain wedding here, expect the unexpected — and bring the warm jacket!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ @simplyperfectnz⁠ @amanda_thomas_photography⁠ @heliworks
