Tell us more about what our day could look like…
Contrary to popular belief, we don’t just ‘stand up the front and talk for 20 minutes’, when we sign on together. We spend an average of 20 hours on your elopement or wedding. The legal paperwork, the creative writing for your ceremony, the rehearsal, the printing, and the hours of communication with you all adds up… Plus our resources are pretty epic!
We will do whatever it takes to ensure you have the BEST ceremony and to calm your nerves on the day. We are all warm and friendly, will welcome and engage with your guests. We will ensure your future husband (or wife) is up front, and guests are seated, ready for your ceremony to begin (on time)!
In the lead up to your big day, your celebrant will work collaboratively with you to perfect your ceremony. We will attend and run the rehearsal (usually the day before) with you and your wedding party. Then, of course, the ceremony on your wedding day.
Plus we will answer any questions you may have - including recommendations of other vendors, locations or random Wanaka questions you may have.. (we have all lived here for a long time - so definitely know the best swimming holes, hiking trails and where to get great coffee)!
Then, we will also take care of the legal registration post-ceremony, so you can walk away on your wedding day worry-free!
Best day of our lives!!
We were looking for a unique and amazing elopement experience in one of the most beautiful locations on earth. From the onset Soph provided fantastic client service and made sure the whole lead up to the big day was seamless and easy (just what we wanted). On our wedding day we were well prepared for what was to come. The day turned out to be flawless in every aspect.
Our ceremony was held on Coromandel Peak which in my thought was the perfect location to get married (unbelievable views). Soph read some beautiful words on top of coromandel peak which was really touching, creative and special. Honestly we couldn’t have asked for anything more on day. Soph organised everything from whoa to go and made our day so special, we will never forget how fun, easy, amazing & epic it was.
