One-of-a-kind, all-inclusive New Zealand elopements
for modern lovers seeking unconventional adventures and seamless experiences with an uncommon aesthetic.
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, two Lovers met to tell a story that had never been told before. Intimate weddings and elopements are not one-size-fits-all.

“Not enough words exist to describe the magic that
these ladies create."
Every element exceeded our expectations of what eloping could feel like. The day was relaxed, fun and full of love, every detail was well considered and exactly in our style, and they took every stress away from us... (Hayley + Jayden)
