Your Elopement
Say “I Do” in Fiordland
Imagine exchanging your vows surrounded by the mountains, lakes and untouched wilderness of Fiordland.
Your ceremony location can be tailored to your vision, from a beautiful setting close to Te Anau to a more adventurous alpine location.
For couples dreaming of something truly extraordinary, helicopter access can open up even more spectacular possibilities — from remote mountain landscapes to secluded locations that few visitors ever experience.
Capture the Moment
Your elopement will be beautifully documented by a professional photographer, capturing the landscape, the details and the moments you’ll want to remember long after you’ve returned home.
We’ll work with you and your photographer to help make the most of Fiordland’s extraordinary scenery, whether that means dramatic mountain views, intimate moments at your accommodation or photographs in one of the region’s spectacular natural settings.
Celebrate Together
After your ceremony, return to the privacy of Fiordland Eco-Retreat and slow down together.
Relax in your private cedar hot tub, take in the surrounding mountain views and enjoy a peaceful evening beneath Fiordland’s spectacular night skies.
