Small though it may be, New Zealand packs a mighty punch when it comes to jaw-dropping landscapes – the sheer variety of views is enough to make your head spin! Epic mountains, pristine lakes, flawless beaches, old growth forests, active volcanoes, the list goes on. It’s no wonder couples come from all over to tie the knot in this incredible country.

We asked our friends at Two Foxes Styling to share their top picks for knot-tying spots with a view. The NZ natives have seen their fair share of spectacular ceremony spaces and have compiled a pretty sweet lineup…

Jack’s Point Restaurant / Queenstown

Jack’s Point is definitely a site that makes you stop in your tracks. Honestly, where else can you find such an epic shot of all that Mother Nature has to offer? If you’re venturing south for your wedding, this is one spot you’ll find hard to pass up.

10 Minutes from Tauranga city centre, Ataahua Garden Venue offers a wealth of stunning open air locations. And with sheltered options every bit as gorgeous outdoor counterparts, it’s the perfect setting for couples wanting a magic outdoor space without having to run for the ponchos in case of rain.

Located between the famous Manu Bay and Ngarunui Beach you’ll find Solscape tucked away in stunning Raglan, New Zealand. With a choice of Ceremony spaces such as the epic Tipi Village deep in the forest or over looking the Tasman Sea, you don’t have to look far for a memorable ceremony space.

Mudbrick Winery / Waiheke Island

With a custom elevated ceremony space overlooking the hills of Waiheke Island, Mudbrick is certainly a hot spot during the summer months. Sweeping back to a Tuscan feel surrounded by olive trees and lavender, it sets the scene for a dreamy space to start your new beginning.

Matarangi Bay / Matarangi, Coromandel

Of course a beach wedding had to sneak in here somewhere! It is New Zealand, and what would we be without a bucket load of incredible beaches to choose from? Matarangi Bay is just one of these magnificent spots, and clearly highlights the laid back Kiwi way – bare foot on the beach and alfresco dining, yes please!

Paripuma / Blenheim

Coastal views don’t get much better than Paripuma, situated just outside of Blenheim in the South Island. This incredible garden boasts a native wonderland complete with unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean and Vernon Bluffs.
