Elopements in South Canterbury  

Want to take your sweetheart and get married in a simple ceremony with just your two witnesses during a weekday?
​South Canterbury has so many beautiful
​spots we can travel too.

​Let's talk!  

Write your own vows or I can write them for you
AVAILABLE WEEKDAY'S ONLY I peak wedding season. Excludes pubic 
holidays.

I have created these Elopement Packages for those who wish to marry in one of South Canterbury's beautiful spots during weekdays. NOT AVAILABLE WEEKENDS in peak wedding season OR PUBLIC HOLIDAYS. (public holidays may be able to be arranged, but there is an extra charge- let's talk)
Up until now you there has been no cheaper options if you wanted to marry in Lake Tekapo, Lake Pukaki, Fairlie, a local river or one of the fantastic places that South Canterbury offers. 
All prices below include my travel.

My elopement Packages are specially designed for the couple and their two witnesses to have a nice intimate ceremony with personalised vows.  
If you wish to have more guests, there will be no more than 20 of you all together. (including the couple)

​For those who wish to marry within Timaru town centre and want a quick short simple ceremony with no personalised vows I offer a Registry Wedding package

Your day,
​your way

Everyone has an opinion on what makes a great wedding. I believe a great and memorable wedding
​will be having the day as the couple want it!
You may be thinking: small, intimate, formal, non-traditional, elegant, spiritual, traditional, large, family orientated or a blending of some of these.
