Elope

Couples thinking of eloping have many reasons, some desire a secret wedding, others a stress free way to marry and for some, to share a surprise on their return home.

Julie can help you organise an enchanting elopement in New Zealand. The paperwork in NZ is an easy process, and Canterbury offers fabulous scenery.

Through email the ceremony can be planned to your requirements and necessary paperwork completed. Julie will then meet you at an agreed location and have two witnesses waiting for you.

Other professionals can be arranged, depending on your requirements, including a photographer, florist, venue and accommodation. Visit the links page for suggestions.

If you are looking for an intimate and special ceremony without the stress of conventional weddings, call Julie today.

"When I started to think about surprising my girl with a wedding about as far away from Germany as you can get, I did not think it was to be going as smooth as it actually did. There where trillions of things to think about. The dress, the suite, flowers, shoes, where to stay (for we toured with a camper van), the location, and last but not least the paper works. I was looking out for someone in New Zealand who could help me with all this and make sure everything would be kept as secret as possible. With Julie I found just the right person. She took most of the works out of my hands and kept coming up with some beautiful suggestions. She choose a wonderful location for the ceremony and organized everything to the point. The only thing left for me to do was to make sure our vacation went on as planned and my girl would give the right answer to my proposal.

Well, she did. And our big day turned out the most romantic day in our lives. After our vows had been exchanged, punting on the Avon, my girl (now my wife) told me, that she could not have imagined this day more beautiful as it had turned out to be.

Thank you from the heart Julie for your help! Thank you Lynda for the amazing photographs. We will surely never forget and always have a reason to return to Aotearoa."

"Als wir begannen einen Urlaub in Neuseeland zu planen, dachte ich, es wäre etwas sehr schönes, diesen Urlaub mit unserer Hochzeit zu verbinden. Mein Mädel sollte so lange wie möglich nichts davon ahnen, also suchte ich jemanden in NZ, der mir mit der Planung helfen würde. Julie, so stellte sich heraus, war genau die Richtige. Sie half mit wirklich allem und nahm mir die meiste Arbeit ab. Kleid, Anzug, Limousine, Hochzeitsstrauss, die Auswahl des Ortes für die Zeremonie und natürlich die Formalitäten. Ich brauchte wirklich nicht mehr zu tun, als sicherzustellen, dass unsere Reise nach Plan verlief und mein Mädel mir die richtige Antwort auf meinen Antrag gab (Gab sie.). Unser großer Tag wurde zum romantischsten Erlebnis unseres gemeinsamen Lebens. Später, nachdem die Ringe getauscht waren, gondelnd auf dem Avon, sagte sie mir, dass sie sich diesen Tag nicht schöner hätte vorstellen können, als er tatsächlich war. Vielen lieben Dank an Julie und Lynda (für Ihre wunderschönen Fotos). Wir werden diesen Tag sicher niemals vergessen und haben nun immer einen Grund zurückzukehren."
