Glacier Weddings

Take to the mountains for one of New Zealand’s most memorable wedding experiences. Depart the Retreat by helicopter and fly into the Southern Alps, where snow, ice, and mountain peaks create an unforgettable setting for an intimate wedding ceremony. 

Exchange vows on a glacier, surrounded by the alpine landscape, before returning by helicopter to the Retreat to continue your celebration. The journey itself becomes part of the occasion — from the flight across the mountains to the quiet of standing together in a landscape few people ever experience in this way. Glacier landings and ceremonies are subject to weather and alpine conditions, with arrangements made in conjunction with experienced local helicopter operators.
