Ask the question of a lifetime.

Home Proposal
A decade of love and yeses. For more than 10 years, Eloping Weddings has helped couples mark life's biggest moments with surprise proposals in Queenstown or Wanaka, where so many love stories begin and beautifully remembered.

A backdrop worthy of the question.

A surprise proposal in Queenstown is a magical way to begin your next chapter. From secluded lakeside spots to mountain-top helicopter proposals, we craft unique, personalised experiences designed to leave your partner speechless. The snow-capped peaks, the still lakes, and the quiet alpine air do half the work before you ever say a word.

Planning a proposal can feel overwhelming, but our team makes it effortless. We handle the location, the photographer, the florals, the music, and every small surprise, so you can focus entirely on the big moment. Whether you want a breathtaking mountain peak, a lakeside spot, or a secluded place reached only by helicopter, the day is shaped entirely around the two of you.

Queenstown Story Detail

Three ways to pop the question.

Every detail handled, discreetly.

A few quiet reasons couples trust us with the most important question of their lives.

01

Planned in Secret

We arrange everything behind the scenes and enquire discreetly with you, so the surprise stays a surprise right up to the moment.

02

The Moment Captured

A professional photographer and videographer document the proposal beautifully, with edited footage, drone shots, a soundtrack, and the real audio of your question.

03

Locations Few Can Reach

From private gardens and quiet bays to alpine peaks and Earnslaw Burn, we open up settings that almost no one else can offer.

04

Flowers, Food and Fine Dining

We organise florals, a picnic platter, celebratory bubbles, and even a fine dining experience to turn the moment into a whole occasion.

05

Fully Customisable

Every package is shaped around your story, so you can add, change, or personalise any detail to make it entirely your own.

06

A Truly Stress-Free Day

As the country's largest elopement company, we carry every thread so you can stay present and enjoy the moment with the person you love.

Planning Timeline

From first hello to “Yes.”

From your first message to the moment they say yes, the planning moves through four quiet steps. Every detail is held by us, so all you have to do is ask.

01
Enquire discreetly

A relaxed, private conversation about the two of you, what they would love, and the moment you quietly have in mind.

02
Choose your setting

We draft a bespoke sketch with garden, lakeside, helicopter, and Earnslaw Burn options, plus a photographer whose work makes you feel something.

03
We handle every detail

Location, florals, picnic, bubbles, music, photography, the helicopter, the surprise. Every thread carried so nothing gives the secret away.

04
The moment unfolds

You ask the question, they say yes, and the whole thing is captured to relive for the rest of your lives together.

"We came to Queenstown thinking we'd booked a wedding. What we got was an entire morning of our lives placed gently in someone else's hands — and a photograph we'll grow old underneath."
