Let’s chat about yours.

Say Hello
Wedding transport options:⁠ ⁠ 🚌 Bus.⁠ ⁠ 🚗 Car.⁠ ⁠ Wedding transport options:⁠ ⁠ 🚌 Bus.⁠ ⁠ 🚗 Car.⁠ ⁠ 🚕 Taxi.⁠ ⁠ 🚢 A 1912 steamship across Lake Whakatipu.⁠ ⁠ The TSS Earnslaw can take your guests from Queenstown across the lake to Walter Peak, where the celebrations can continue at the Colonel’s Homestead. ⁠ ⁠ And for a destination wedding, we love the idea that getting from A to B isn’t simply logistics.⁠ ⁠ It’s another 45 minutes of the day that your guests will never forget.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ @simplyperfectnz⁠ @real.newzealand⁠
Tiny guests, big question…⁠ Do you have to pay the Tiny guests, big question…⁠ Do you have to pay the full guest price for children at your wedding?⁠ ⁠ With our wedding packages, no.⁠ ⁠ There’s no charge for children under two who don’t need a children’s meal. For older children, pricing depends on their age and comes in below the adult cost.⁠ ⁠ So if your guest list includes nieces, nephews, your own little ones or a small army of flower girls, tell us their ages when we’re putting your quote together.⁠ ⁠ We’ll make sure you’re quoted accordingly. ♡
Everyone talks about summer and winter weddings in Everyone talks about summer and winter weddings in Queenstown, while spring quietly gets on with being rather lovely.⁠ ⁠ Blossoms in the gardens. Longer days. Warmer afternoons. Snow still hanging around on the peaks.⁠ ⁠ And because the season changes so quickly, an early September wedding can feel completely different from one at the end of November.⁠ ⁠ Our advice: If you’re trying to choose when to get married in Queenstown, don’t overlook the months in between. 🌸⁠ ⁠ ⁠ @simplyperfectnz⁠ @queenstownweddings⁠ @ryandomenicophotography
One of the easiest mistakes to make with reception One of the easiest mistakes to make with reception styling is choosing every detail in isolation.⁠ ⁠ You find a centrepiece you love. Then beautiful candles. Then menus. Then perhaps a little favour for each guest.⁠ ⁠ Individually, perfect.⁠ ⁠ Together? That’s where things can get interesting.⁠ ⁠ When we design reception tables, scale and space matter just as much as colour, flowers or stationery. A low arrangement can leave room for conversation. A narrow candle gives the table height without taking over. A simple place setting might give a more detailed floral arrangement room to breathe.⁠ ⁠ You don’t need every element on the table to be the star.⁠ ⁠ Usually, the best tables work because someone decided which elements shouldn’t be.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ @simplyperfectnz⁠ @qtweddinghire⁠ @katerobergephotography⁠ @queenstownweddings
Nobody has ever looked at a photo of a mountaintop Nobody has ever looked at a photo of a mountaintop elopement and thought…⁠ ⁠ “Ooh, I wonder what paperwork they had to fill out.”⁠ ⁠ But if you’re travelling from overseas to get married in New Zealand, you’re going to have to think about it eventually.⁠ ⁠ The good news is that it’s nowhere near as complicated as it sounds.⁠ ⁠ Your marriage licence can be applied for online before you arrive. You’ll need a registered celebrant and two witnesses. Your celebrant takes care of the paperwork after the ceremony. And yes, there are a couple of extra things to know if you’re planning to marry somewhere remote.⁠ ⁠ We’ve explained the whole process for How to Legally Get Married in New Zealand as an Overseas Couple in our latest Queenstown Wedding Packages guide.⁠ ⁠ Paperwork first. Mountain next 🤍 🌄⁠ ⁠ Read the full guide at the link.⁠ 👉🏼https://queenstownweddingpackages.com/how-to-legally-marry-in-nz/⁠ ⁠ @simplyperfectnz⁠ @emily_adamson
Not Cinderella’s slipper.... Although we are about Not Cinderella’s slipper.... Although we are about to find out quite a lot about the person it belongs to.⁠ ⁠ The Shoe Game has been around for a while, and we can see why. It’s easy, everyone can join in from their seats, and the entertainment value increases considerably when the bride and groom give completely different answers.⁠ ⁠ Which got us thinking… what are you planning for your reception?⁠ ⁠ A lot of thought goes into the ceremony, food, speeches and music, but those little moments of entertainment can give guests something to join in with rather than simply watch.⁠ ⁠ The shoe game? A quiz? Lawn games? Something completely unexpected?⁠ ⁠ Or are you firmly in the “give them good food and a dance floor and they’ll entertain themselves” camp?⁠ ⁠
