Pop Up Weddings North Canterbury
Beautiful micro weddings. One Day. Four couples. Completely styled & ready for you.
One Day. Multiple Love Stories
Our Pop Up Weddings are designed for couples who want a beautiful wedding without months of planning or budget blowouts.
Unlike other pop up or elopement packages, your celebration doesn't end after you say 'I do'.
Enjoy a beautifully styled mini reception with your favourite people, plenty of time for beautiful photographs, bubbly and cake -
making your wedding feel like a wedding - not just a ceremony.
Every detail is thoughtfully prepared before you arrive, from the celebrant and seasonal bouquet to the ceremony styling,
reception tablescaping and signature celebration features, including a champagne tower, bubbly pop, lawn games and thoughtfully styled photo moments throughout the homestead grounds.
Simply choose your preferred time, invite your guests and walk into a wedding that's ready for you
