NewZealand Elopement Experiences
Your Day, Designed
There’s so much freedom in choosing to elope.
Your day doesn’t need to follow tradition, a set timeline, or anyone else’s idea of what a wedding should look like. It can be slow, spontaneous, wildly romantic, or beautifully simple — filled with the places, people and little moments that mean something to you.
I’ll help you dream up what that day could look like, then thoughtfully bring every part of it together — so when the day arrives, all that’s left for you to do is experience it.
Intimate. Considered. Completely Yours.
Intimate. Considered. Completely Yours.
Your Elopement Can Be So Much More
Maybe it’s waking slowly somewhere beautiful, with nowhere you need to rush to. Saying your vows with the mountains behind you or the ocean at your feet. A picnic tucked away somewhere wild, a long lunch at a beautiful table, a helicopter somewhere extraordinary, or ending the day barefoot on the beach as the sun disappears.
There are no rules for what your elopement has to look like.
Together, we’ll create an experience around getting married - one filled with the places you want to be, the things you love to do, and moments that feel like the two of you.

How it All Comes Together
Questions Answered
A few things couples often ask before getting in touch.
Got more questions? Make sure to reach out.
-
I’m based in the top of the South Island, with Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough being the places I know especially well.
Have somewhere else in New Zealand in mind? Tell me about it, while the Top of the South is home, I’m always open to travelling further afield.
-
Absolutely. Many of my couples are travelling in from elsewhere in NZ or overseas, and I take care of the local knowledge and coordination so you don't have to worry about a thing!
-
Six to twelve months is my sweet spot for planning, but I know life (and love) doesn't always work that way. If your date is coming up sooner, get in touch — let's talk about what's possible.
-
Every elopement I plan is different, so your planning fee will be shaped around the experience you’re creating and the level of planning involved. Once I know a little more about what you’re imagining, I’ll put together a personalised proposal for you.
-
No. Your vendors are booked and paid directly by you, so you have complete transparency and choice over where your budget is spent. I’ll take care of curating recommendations, liaising with your chosen team and coordinating everyone throughout the planning process.
-
Absolutely. You don’t need to come to me with a location, a vendor list or even a fully formed idea. Part of the experience is helping you discover what feels right for the two of you and finding the places and people to bring it to life.
-
Absolutely! Eloping doesn’t have to mean getting married completely alone. Whether it’s just the two of you or a small group of the people you love most, we’ll shape the day around what feels right for you.
-
New Zealand weather can be wonderfully unpredictable, so a little flexibility is part of the adventure. We’ll have beautiful backup plans in place, keep an eye on conditions as your day approaches, and make decisions together as we go. Sometimes we’ll change the plan, and sometimes we’ll embrace the weather and let it become part of the story.
-
Absolutely. I’ll be right there with you on the day, bringing everything we’ve planned to life — coordinating your vendors, keeping things flowing and quietly taking care of all the little details, so your only job is to enjoy getting married.
