Elopement Package

Last chance to say "I Do" at Brackenridge

A beautiful beginning, just the two of you.

If your hearts are calling for something simple, heartfelt, and truly yours — Brackenridge is the perfect place to begin your forever. With our final wedding season underway, there’s never been a better time to celebrate an intimate elopement surrounded by countryside tranquillity and winter warmth.

With experience curating over 1000 weddings, we take pride in creating elopements filled with warmth, beauty, and meaning — for couples who believe love, in its simplest form, is the most extraordinary of all. That's why our elopement package is designed for couples who want an intimate, romantic wedding surrounded by nature and quiet luxury.

Stay two nights in a charming two-bedroom cottage — your private haven for this most special moment. With your closest friends or witnesses by your side, everything you need is thoughtfully taken care of, so you can simply focus on each other.

Winter weddings at Brackenridge are all about warmth, atmosphere, and choice. Exchange your vows in the setting that best reflects your vision:

  • The White Rose Garden – crisp winter light and classic romance
  • Under the Giant Pear Trees – natural charm and seasonal beauty
  • The Veranda – sheltered, heated, and sparkling with fairy lights
  • The Banquet Room – intimate and inviting, with open fires and a cosy glow

With heaters, open fires, and flexible indoor options, winter ceremonies are as comfortable as they are memorable. Whichever setting you choose, we’ll ensure every detail is taken care of, including a charming wedding arch, a caring celebrant, and a professional photographer to capture every precious glance and smile.

Afterwards, return to your cottage to share a petite wedding cake, a delicious platter, and a bottle of local bubbles in front of the open fire — a sweet, joyful way to celebrate your new life together.

Your elopement package includes:

  • Two nights’ accommodation in a two-bedroom cottage (for up to 4 guests)
  • One-hour venue hire
  • Ceremony with arch
  • Marriage celebrant
  • Bridal makeup at Brackenridge Day Spa
  • One-hour photography package with Lucia Zanmonti Photography
  • Petite wedding cake from Cake Lab NZ
  • Bridal bouquet and buttonhole
  • Bottle of local bubbles
  • Antipasto platter, served in your cottage
  • Two witnesses (if required)

Package Price:     $4,299

With shorter lead times and available dates throughout autumn and winter, now is a great time to book your elopement package before Brackenridge closes in August 2026.
