Tekapo Weddings - Lake Tekapo
New
Zealand's Lake Tekapo has some of the most spectacular scenery in the
world. That is why the area has become one of the most popular
locations for weddings in the world, both for New Zealanders and for
people from abroad.
There is a vast choice of wedding
venues in the Tekapo area and we only mention the popular ones.
Being a small community, the village facilities are flexible. Think of
an idea for your special day and have it come true in Tekapo.


Church weddings
Naturally the Church of the Good Shepherd on the shores of Lake Tekapo
has captured the hearts of brides and grooms all over the world.
The church is located only metres from the teal blue waters of the
lake and provides spectacular views that are remembered by visitors for the rest of their lives.
The church's interior matches its natural surroundings with its
traditional wooden pews, exposed ceiling beams and a large window
behind the alter that provides romantic views of the lake and mountains beyond.
Only ministers of religion can
perform wedding services in the church.
Garden weddings
Tekapo has become a popular location for garden weddings. The stunning
scenery that surrounds the lake has drawn many to tie the knot in some
of the beautiful gardens within the village.
Marriage celebrants live locally and can provide you with a day you
will enjoy.
Potential venues include Parkbrae and the historic Mount John
Homestead.

Glacier weddings
Only a short distance from Lake Tekapo are the Southern Alps and
the spectacular glaciers that weave down the valleys below them.
An increasing number of couples are choosing to take their wedding
party and celebrant by helicopter up on to these glaciers to say the
their vows in the presence of some of nature's most spectacular
wonders.
Marriage Proposals
Don't limit your romantic experience of Lake Tekapo to marriage.
Why not start it all with a proposal in one of the most beautiful
areas of New Zealand.
If your romantic nature is adventurous, why not charter an aircraft
and propose high over one of the peaks of the Southern Alps around
sunset.
