When you picture eloping in Queenstown, what does When you picture eloping in Queenstown, what does it actually look like?⁠
⁠
Are you standing beside the lake with your feet firmly on the ground?⁠
⁠
Taking a helicopter somewhere you couldn’t otherwise reach?⁠
⁠
Getting married in a little chapel, surrounded by a garden, or somewhere overlooking the river?⁠
⁠
Maybe you want the ceremony to be the simple part, then spend the rest of the day exploring, eating exceptionally well and making a proper occasion of being in Queenstown.⁠
⁠
We plan elopements for two in all sorts of ways, and there really isn’t one version you need to follow. ⁠
⁠
So… what does yours look like?⁠

There’s no rule that says one of you has to wait There’s no rule that says one of you has to wait at the end of the aisle.⁠
⁠
Walking into your ceremony together is absolutely an option.⁠
⁠
For some couples it feels more natural. For others, it reflects how they see marriage itself. And some simply like the idea of experiencing that first walk into the ceremony side by side.⁠
⁠
The traditional entrance can be incredibly meaningful when it means something to you.⁠
⁠
But tradition is an option, not an instruction manual. You do you!⁠

One small piece of advice for anyone writing their One small piece of advice for anyone writing their own vows…

Don’t make remembering them part of the challenge.

Write them down.

Wedding-day nerves do funny things to perfectly capable brains, and there’s absolutely no prize for delivering your vows from memory.

The important part isn’t remembering every sentence exactly as you wrote it.

It’s being present enough to mean it when you say it. 🤍

The TSS Earnslaw can take your guests from Queenstown across the lake to Walter Peak, where the celebrations can continue at the Colonel’s Homestead. ⁠

And for a destination wedding, we love the idea that getting from A to B isn’t simply logistics.⁠

Tiny guests, big question…⁠ Do you have to pay Tiny guests, big question…⁠
Do you have to pay the full guest price for children at your wedding?⁠
⁠
With our wedding packages, no.⁠
⁠
There’s no charge for children under two who don’t need a children’s meal. For older children, pricing depends on their age and comes in below the adult cost.⁠
⁠
So if your guest list includes nieces, nephews, your own little ones or a small army of flower girls, tell us their ages when we’re putting your quote together.⁠
⁠
We’ll make sure you’re quoted accordingly. ♡
Everyone talks about summer and winter weddings in Everyone talks about summer and winter weddings in Queenstown, while spring quietly gets on with being rather lovely.⁠
⁠
Blossoms in the gardens. Longer days. Warmer afternoons. Snow still hanging around on the peaks.⁠
⁠
And because the season changes so quickly, an early September wedding can feel completely different from one at the end of November.⁠
⁠
Our advice: If you’re trying to choose when to get married in Queenstown, don’t overlook the months in between. 🌸⁠
