Elopements in South Canterbury + Beyond  

Elope with your sweetheart, where and when you want, with a handful of your fave people.


​South Canterbury and beyond have so many beautiful spots we can travel to.​
Jade has you covered with two "Loved Up Elopement" Packages!  

Let's do this!

Times have changed, and many more couples are ditching big weddings and choosing to have a fun, intimate wedding where the couple can focus on a "just us" experience. ​

Jade is stoked that she is fast becoming the 'Loved Up Elopement Celebrant!'

She has created TWO 'Loved Up Elopement' Packages with for those who wish to marry in South Canterbury, Mt Cook or beyond!

Emily + Michael flew from USA to Elope at beautiful Castle Hill, NZ. There was Jade with the two photographers as witnesses. They chose a "Golden Loved Up Elopement" with a personalised ceremony which was amazing!

Up until now,  there weren't many reasonable price options if you wanted to elope in Lake Tekapo, Mt Cook, Lake Pukaki, Fairlie or at a local river, farm or at home. There are so many fantastic places that South Canterbury (and beyond) offer.

Shanice + Craig travelled from Christchurch to have 15 of their nearest and dearest with them in a beautiful winter elopement. They had a 'Golden Loved Up Elopement' with a beautiful unique, personalised ceremony.

Both ' Loved Up Elopement' Packages are specially designed for the couple to have a ceremony where YOU are the focus.  A "Just Us" experience.

All prices include travel charge.
