A Setting Like No Other
Wanaka is quieter and more relaxed than its famous neighbour, yet it offers scenery that is every bit as spectacular. The shores of Lake Wanaka, the surrounding ranges, and the golden tussock hills create a setting that shifts beautifully with the seasons. Spring brings fresh colour, summer offers long warm evenings, autumn turns the valleys gold, and winter dusts everything in snow.
This variety means there is no wrong time to elope here. Whether you dream of a soft morning ceremony by the water or a dramatic exchange of vows high above the valley, the landscape rises to the occasion. Our local knowledge helps us match your vision to the perfect spot, taking the time of year and your personal style into account.
At Eloping Weddings, we have spent years helping couples turn this stunning landscape into the backdrop for their happiest day. We take care of every detail so that all you have to do is arrive, relax, and say I do. From the first conversation to the final photograph, our goal is to make your elopement feel effortless, personal, and genuinely yours.
What Our Packages Include
Every couple is different, which is why our all inclusive Wanaka elopement packages are designed to cover the essentials while leaving room for your own touches. A typical package includes a celebrant to guide your ceremony, professional photography to capture each moment, and coordination of the finer details such as flowers, music, and timing. We handle the planning so the day unfolds smoothly from start to finish.
For couples who want something truly unforgettable, we can arrange a helicopter flight to a remote alpine peak where your ceremony takes place in complete privacy. Whatever you choose, our packages are built to save you time and stress while delivering an experience that feels rich, romantic, and entirely your own.
Five Stunning Ways to Say I Do
At Eloping Weddings, we offer five distinct Queenstown elopement experiences, each one carefully curated to suit different couples and different visions.
Lakeside
Lakeside Elopements place you directly at the water's edge with the Remarkables as your witness. The natural light, the stillness of the lake, and the mountain backdrop create photographs and memories that last a lifetime. This is the quintessential Queenstown ceremony.
Read more +Garden
Garden Elopements offer a softer, more intimate atmosphere. Manicured lawns, flowering borders, and sheltered green spaces give these ceremonies a timeless, romantic quality. If you want the beauty of nature with a refined and elegant feel, a garden setting delivers exactly that.
Read more +Chapel
Chapel Elopements bring a sense of tradition and occasion to your ceremony without the scale of a full church wedding. The intimacy of a small chapel, surrounded by Queenstown's natural grandeur, creates a beautifully balanced celebration.
Read more +Stoneridge
Stoneridge Elopements take place at one of Queenstown's most celebrated estates. Stoneridge offers vineyard views, lake panoramas, and a boutique luxury atmosphere that blends rustic warmth with genuine sophistication. For couples who want something exclusive and refined, this is an outstanding choice.
Read more +Heli
Heli Elopements are for couples who want to push the experience further. A scenic helicopter flight carries you to a remote alpine peak, a glacier, or a high-mountain ridge where the world falls away beneath you and your ceremony becomes something truly extraordinary. Complete privacy, jaw-dropping views, and a story you will spend the rest of your lives telling.

A Day That Reflects You
Every elopement is shaped around the two of you — your setting, your style, your story. No templates, no crowds, just the day you actually want.
Every Detail Handled
Legal paperwork, photography, florals, timing and suppliers are all managed for you, so you arrive, get ready, and get married.
Genuinely Intimate
Without a long guest list or a rigid schedule, the moment feels honest and unhurried — a wedding that is deeply personal and completely yours.
Photography That Tells Your Story
The scenery around Wanaka is a photographer's dream, and we make the most of it. From the crystal waters of the lake to the rugged mountain ridges, every direction offers a frame worth keeping. Our photographers know exactly where the light falls best and how to capture the natural beauty of your surroundings alongside the emotion of your day.
These images become a lasting record of one of the most meaningful moments of your life. Long after the day has passed, you will be able to look back and relive the joy, the views, and the quiet moments shared between just the two of you. We treat every photograph as a piece of your story, told with care and artistry.
Planning Made Simple
One of the biggest worries couples have about eloping is the logistics, especially in an unfamiliar place. We remove that concern entirely. Our team manages the paperwork, books the suppliers, and builds a clear timeline so you never have to wonder what comes next. You simply turn up and enjoy the experience.
We also plan ahead for Wanaka's changeable alpine weather. A backup location is always part of our planning, so a shift in conditions never means a shift in the magic of your day. This thoughtful preparation is what allows you to stay relaxed and fully present, knowing every possibility has been considered.
A Day Built Around the Two of You
An elopement is about stripping away everything that distracts from what really matters. With our all inclusive Wanaka elopement packages, the focus stays entirely on your connection, your vows, and the landscape that surrounds you. There are no large guest lists to manage and no rigid schedules to follow, just a day shaped around your love story.
Many of our couples tell us the intimacy is what made the experience so special. Without a crowd watching on, the moment feels honest and unhurried. Whether you exchange rings beside the lake or on a mountain top reached by helicopter, the day belongs completely to you.
