Imagine getting married in Paradise . . .

Picture a place truly romantic, relaxing and distinctive, yet surprisingly affordable.

In New Zealand, the safest and most beautiful country in the world, there is such a place, where dreams come true.

Kahikatea, on the rolling hillsides of Akaroa Harbour, overlooking the South Pacific, offers a breathtaking venue for intimate elopements and small weddings. Express your love and commitment to each other in our beautiful garden setting, with an incredible backdrop as your witness. After the ceremonies, luxuriate in your exclusive, private honeymoon cottage, Te Rangi (meaning "heaven"), for the perfect beginning to your married life together.

The magic of a wedding at Kahikatea allows a couple to create their own meaningful, memorable, stress-free ceremony, whether traditional or alternative. As wedding facilitators, we offer you a package that includes a marriage celebrant, photographer, witnesses, flowers, and honeymoon nights. Depending on the size of your wedding, we can provide options for a small reception with your choice of caterers. Flowers, a marquee, a videographer and music can also be arranged.
