Lake Tekapo Wedding

Reflections on Lake Tekapo

No matter what the season you are guaranteed BEAUTY for your Lake Tekapo Wedding.  Lake Tekapo is an extraordinary wedding location.  Winter time will give you snow capped peaks that surround the lake and in summer with the golden glow of colour mixed with the bright colours of the Lupins.

Situated in the heart of the Mackenzin Basin in the South Island the lake covers an area of 83 square kilometers and is 700m above sea level.

I would recommend that you travel down to Lake Tekapo the day before your wedding.  The driving distance from Christchurch is approximately 3hrs.

These prices are for the couple without guests.

This location is weather dependent, if weather does not permit for outdoor wedding we will transfer to shelter for your ceremony

The basic package includes everything you need for your Lake Tekapo Wedding including paperwork for back home.
