Well Travelled Bride Lake Wanaka Destination Wedding Guide

Lake Wanaka, New Zealand

If snowy mountains, fireside cocktails and the great outdoors are your idea of heaven - then Wanaka is the destination of choice for your nuptials. Of course we would not just send you in the direction of any location. We have made sure there is everything you need to put together the perfect wedding, elopement or honeymoon and have an absolutely fabulous time whilst you are there. We think Wanaka is magical because you are surrounded by untouched scenery and landscapes that look like painted backdrops. You will find all the comforts of a luxury trip with a little bit of adventure thrown in. Given we had the time of our lives, we're sure that with our curated guide to Wanaka, you'll make some special memories there too.

Lake Wanaka is an untouched, breath-taking ceremony backdrop, they literally conduct weddings on the mountain peaks. Most importantly there is an amazing collective of creative and genuine people that live and work across the region. Don't be afraid of sourcing your vendors from further afield in Central Otago, the distance is close and the vendors all service the wider area. They all know and love Wanaka and will be a valuable part of making your stylish wedding everything you want it to be.
