Brides and grooms from all over New Zealand and the world are choosing Queenstown as their place to tie the knot.

And you can’t blame them – incredible scenery, award-winning wines, fantastic cuisine, wonderful venues and activities galore are in abundance in this four-season resort town. There’s everything here to make your special day even more memorable, regardless of your wedding budget.

Queenstown has some of the best wedding photographers and stunning photo locations. And if your budget allows, you can even hire a helicopter for that stunning mountain top photo shoot.

It doesn’t matter what season you decide to get married in in Queenstown. Spring offers beautiful blossoms and blooms of colourful flowers, summer has the long, still hot dry days by the lake, autumn promises the gold and red hues of the turning leaves and winter – despite the cold – offers the unforgettable backdrops of snowy mountains.

If you’re not sure where to start, there’s plenty of helpful information for organising your dream wedding in Queenstown. 

You can even hire your own Queenstown wedding planner if you live out of town.
