A snow landing and ceremony amongst the remarkable peaks of Aoraki Mt Cook National Park offers a truly unforgettable experience. Exchange your marriage vows amidst the peace, tranquility and breathtaking beauty of this alpine wonderland.
Please note that because flights and landing locations are weather dependent we cannot guarantee exactly where you will be flown on your wedding day. Our Alpine Snowfield or Glacier Wedding Package has been based on the two most common landing sites:
Tasman Glacier (by Ski-plane). New Zealand's largest Glacier at 27 km (17 miles) long and at places is 3km (2 miles) wide flows among the highest mountains in New Zealand. The ice in this glacier is in places over 600 metres deep.
Liebig Dome (by Helicopter). An ideal location for couples wanting
to have their ceremony on a remote snow-capped mountain with views across
to New Zealand's highest peaks of Mt Cook and Mt Tasman.

Here what our couples say...
"Thank you so much for the beautiful wedding!! It was perfect;
much better than I ever imagined it could be... like a beautiful dream.
Denis is a wonderful person. I wouldn't have wanted any other celebrant.
And Stu is a very engaging and talented photographer. Everyone is raving
about how wonderful the pictures came out. I'd recommend him in a heartbeat.
The flowers were exactly as I imagined them to be…………"

"Thank you again for everything. The wedding was perfect. I wouldn't have changed a thing."
We wanted to send a HUGE thank you for everything - we had the most incredible wedding.
It wasn't actually until we got home and received the reaction from our family and friends that we realised the enormity of what had been achieved.
We travelled completely to the other side of the world to get married on top of a mountain that we had never visited, by a man we had never had any contact with, we had never seen any of the photographer or videographer's work and all booked by a lady called Rochelle who we had only spoken to once.
And the day could not have gone smoother - the weather was just perfect (their first good day in 30 days) and the Richardson Glacier's beauty left us speechless.
A lot of the comments have been about how relaxed and happy Ross and I are in the video. This was, of course, because there was nothing for us to be stressed about - everything was organised with almost military precision, nothing was left to doubt and everyone we came into contact with couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. This left us just to enjoy our time and appreciate the stunning natural beauty of our surroundings.
We have been to 18 weddings in the last two years and have 6 more booked in the diary this year already - they are all in the same venues with the same people attending. We are SO incredibly glad we were able to come to New Zealand and leave all the traditional wedding headaches behind. We had a bit of a get-together on our return on Saturday for family and friends where we showed the video and the photographs were passed around. We literally had people queuing up to tell us how fantastic everything was and how lucky we were. A lot of the newly-married's expressed their wish that they had done what we had done - and the about-to-be-married's who are currently in the middle of the whole "You have to invite your second Aunty's cousin twice removed", "Have you booked your flowers, cars, got your dress, sorted out your table plan……" carry-on that plagues traditional weddings ALL said that they wished they were doing it the way Ross and I had.
Some people were openly crying when we showed the video (Ross isn't that bad is he !?!? :-) ) and everyone was raving about how fantastic the setting was.
Ross and I are absolutely thrilled with the incredible job Tetsuya did. It is testament to his absolute professionalism and skill and we will treasure it always.
Denis and all the staff at the Hermitage were amazing during our stay. We were quite astonished by Kiwi friendliness everywhere we went, but the people in the hotel took the top prize - they simply could not have done more.
Kent, our helicopter pilot was "cool as" and we were very pleased to have him as a witness (and inpromptu H&S advisor, stopping us getting too near the edge!).
Finally, Trev the photographer is a really nice guy and a lot of the photos are superb.
Ross and I had the best time in New Zealand and we would recommend New Zealand Wedding Services in a heartbeat.
With kindest regards.

"I just wanted to send you a quick note to say a Big Thank You to you and the rest of the team for making our wedding day so special. We had a fabulous day and eventhough I was miles away from my family and friends everyone involved made me feel so special. I shall never forget that.
The DVD is fantastic, it really encapsulates not just the day but also the whole holiday, with the fantatsic images of NZ at the beginning. We will never get bored of watching it. And the photos are brilliant, Trevor really captured the moment. We're looking forward to receiving the formal photo album when it arrives.
Can you please pass on our thanks to Trevor, Denis and Tetsuya for really making our important day so amazing.
Kind regards and once again a big thank you
Clare and Mark"
