To put it simply… we love weddings!
Let’s chat about yours.

Say Hello
Worried about the weather on your wedding day? Fai Worried about the weather on your wedding day? Fair enough… this is Queenstown.

The good news? We plan for it. From venues with indoor and outdoor options to styling that adapts without stress, we’ve seen it all and handled it calmly.
If weather is on your mind, let’s talk it through before it becomes a worry.

Flashback to this early-November heli elopement… Flashback to this early-November heli elopement… a good reminder that spring in Queenstown often gives you the best of both worlds: warm light, crisp air, and still a hint of winter on the mountains.

If you’re thinking about planning a heli elopement for spring 2026, this is your sign! 🌸

Micro weddings aren’t just a trend anymore, they Micro weddings aren’t just a trend anymore, they’re a smart way to create a wedding that feels personal, intentional, and actually manageable.⁠
And for destination couples planning from overseas, small often equals stress-free.⁠
⁠
A few helpful tips if you’re thinking micro:⁠
•  Build a timeline that’s slower and more relaxed… micro weddings shine when you’re not rushing.⁠
• Keep your guest list firm, it’s easy for a “micro” to creep back into “medium”.⁠
•  Splurge on one or two things that make you excited… flowers, food, heli-ride, photography, or whatever feels like “you”.⁠
• Treat your guests to something special, since there are fewer of them.⁠

Trying to keep your wedding budget in check? Skipp Trying to keep your wedding budget in check? Skipping the heli doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice the views for your newlywed photoshoot.⁠
Some of Queenstown’s most scenic spots are completely free — and they look incredible on camera.⁠

With the right planner (hi 👋🏻 that’s us), you’ll get stunning photos and stay true to your budget.⁠

Here’s the thing about ceremony arches: they don Here’s the thing about ceremony arches: they don’t need to be complicated to look incredible.⁠
The real magic happens when the arch works with the venue, not against it.⁠
⁠
We always look at the surroundings first — the colours, the backdrop, the light, even the wind. Then we choose styling that feels natural in the space.⁠
Sometimes that means soft florals, sometimes clean lines, sometimes something bold… it all depends on what makes the moment feel right.⁠
⁠
If you’re not sure what suits your ceremony spot, don’t stress. We’ve styled more arches than we can count, and we’re pretty good at matching the design to the vibe.⁠
