Planning your wedding should be a happy experience, and I am here to make it just that! 

I aim to make the entire process enjoyable, stress-free, and budget-friendly. Whether you dream of a Petite Pop-up wedding in South Canterbury or an intimate elopement in the picturesque Lake Tekapo, My team is ready to support you and your partner through every stage of your journey.​

Elopement Packages

​The wedding world has changed, with more couples opting for a different wedding experience. They're saying goodbye to big, extravagant weddings and instead choosing intimate celebrations that revolve around the "just us" experience. Elopements, Micro Weddings and Petite Pop-Up Weddings are where many couples are heading.

I'm thrilled to announce that my Aroha Elopement Packages are proving to be so popular that in 2024, I am launching 'Aroha Petite Pop-Up Weddings.'  More to come!

I've joined forces with some of the most exceptional vendors in the region to create fabulous stress-free elopement experiences.
