Wedding Stories

Every wedding brings a different story to the Retreat.

Some couples come to elope quietly, others bring family and friends from around New Zealand and the world. Some exchange vows beside Lake Pukaki, some marry in the privacy of a villa and others take to the mountains. Explore our Wedding Stories and discover how couples have made this place their own.
