Things You Need to Know
Who can & how to get married in New Zealand.
In New Zealand, getting married is a relatively easy process & something I can help take care of with you. Whether you are a resident or visiting New Zealand check out these need to know things before you go any further.
Traditional Ceremonies
Whether you want your ceremony to be traditional, simple, elaborate, relaxed & casual, humorous, indoors or outdoors, at the beach or in the forest or bush, I’ll do my best to help make your day heartfelt & memorable for all the right reasons.
Registry-style
Well, almost registry-style. Simple & affordable – personalised from a small list of pre-set locations, elements & vows – yet still incredibly personal, moving, enjoyable & beautiful. An intimate registry-style ceremony is a great option for those dealing with COVID-19 gathering restrictions or time constraints. Find out more to see if a “paint-by-numbers” registry-style wedding is just what you are looking for.
Elopements
A lot of couples find that a small, intimate ceremony is absolutely perfect for them. Eloping has always been a desirable choice for couples who want a quiet ceremony, want to go somewhere different, have any doubts about having a traditional ‘big white wedding’, have significant time constraints for planning a traditional wedding or are on a tight budget. Since 2020, they have been a great option for those dealing with COVID-19 gathering & boarder restrictions. If you are visiting New Zealand or just looking to get hitched, quietly, without all the guest list fuss or on a weekend out of town, read on to see if an elopement is right for you.
Themed Weddings
Themed weddings are so much fun. From simply theming the venue or your outfits, through to carrying the theme from invitation to table setting – step outside the conformities of tradition & let your inner character shine.
Unity Rituals
Unity rituals can be one of the most beautifully sweet & sentimental parts of the overall ceremony – a visual symbol of two lives coming together as one. Have a look to see if ones of these unity ceremony ideas sounds like something you’d like to include in your wedding ceremony.
Almost Anywhere
Everyone is welcome to get married in New Zealand & you can get married almost anywhere you like – in a park, on the beach, in your back yard, in my front yard, at the lake side, in the forest, or, of course, any one of the many amazing, specialist wedding venues – The Bay of Plenty, The Coromandel & Waikato have so many amazing locations to choose from. New Zealand is an amazing country, with so many beautiful places & spaces. I’m open to travel Almost Anywhere, but my focus is a bit narrower than countrywide.
