Not Cinderella’s slipper.... Although we are about to find out quite a lot about the person it belongs to.

The Shoe Game has been around for a while, and we can see why. It’s easy, everyone can join in from their seats, and the entertainment value increases considerably when the bride and groom give completely different answers.

Which got us thinking… what are you planning for your reception?

A lot of thought goes into the ceremony, food, speeches and music, but those little moments of entertainment can give guests something to join in with rather than simply watch.

The shoe game? A quiz? Lawn games? Something completely unexpected?

Or are you firmly in the “give them good food and a dance floor and they’ll entertain themselves” camp?

Planning a destination wedding in Queenstown often starts with the fun stuff. Venues saved on Instagram, photographers you love, screenshots of flowers, perhaps a slightly alarming number of open browser tabs.

But before you book anything, there are a few Queenstown-specific things worth knowing.

👉🏼Peak-season suppliers can book 12 to 18 months ahead.
👉🏼Your venue choice can affect everything from guest transport to your wet-weather plan.
👉🏼A winter wedding doesn’t necessarily mean snow at ground level.
👉🏼And if everyone is travelling to be here, it’s worth thinking beyond the wedding itself to accommodation, welcome drinks, recovery brunches and how your guests will actually get around.

We’ve put together a proper guide to planning a destination wedding in Queenstown, including budgets, venues, seasons, suppliers, guest logistics and a few things we’ve learned from doing this for a living.

If Queenstown is currently sitting somewhere in your wedding plans, this is a good place to start.

One timeline detail we wish couples thought about earlier is.... what their guests will be doing while they’re away taking photos.

If you’re planning on disappearing for an hour after the ceremony, look at that hour from your guests’ perspective.

Have drinks ready rather than making everyone queue at the bar. Start canapés early enough that hungry guests aren’t clock-watching. Give older guests somewhere to sit. Think about shade in summer and warmth when the temperature drops. And allow enough time for people to actually enjoy themselves before moving them into dinner.

None of these things will be the reason someone books a flight to Queenstown for your wedding.

They might, however, be the reason everyone talks about what a bloody good wedding it was afterwards. 🤍

It’s easy to think every wedding here would feel the same.

The same lake.
The same mountains.
The same stretch of grass.

But they never do.

Every ceremony arrives with a different energy.

Different people.
Different stories.
Different reasons for standing where they are.

The landscape stays wonderfully familiar.
But everything else is entirely new. 🤍

There’s something we hope every couple gives themselves permission to do.

Pause before every decision and ask,

“Are we choosing this because we love it… or because we think we’re supposed to?”

Sometimes the answers are exactly the same and sometimes they aren’t.

Either way, it’s a good question.

Every bride tribe has one person who seems to know where everything is.⁠
⁠
The safety pins. The tissues. The missing bouquet. The uncle who’s wandered off.⁠
⁠
At weddings, they’re easy to spot. They’re usually halfway through solving one problem before anyone else has realised there was one.⁠
⁠
We love those people.⁠
⁠
Not because they make our jobs easier, but because every wedding runs on the generosity of the people who simply step in when they’re needed.⁠
⁠
Tag the person you just know will be this person on your wedding day.⁠
⁠
And if nobody comes to mind… don’t worry. We’ll happily be that person for you. 🤍⁠

“This might be a silly question…” We hear that sentence a lot.
And it’s usually followed by something completely reasonable:

-Where should guests leave their jackets?
-How long does it actually take eighty people to get onto a bus?
-Will everyone hear the ceremony if it’s windy?
-Will people be cold after sunset?
-Do we need umbrellas if there’s only a small chance of rain?
-Is it rude to ask guests to catch a shuttle?

Somehow, planning your own wedding has a way of making perfectly ordinary decisions feel much bigger than they are.

We’ve never minded the questions...They make weddings run beautifully.

We love a well curated centrepiece, but wedding tables aren’t meant to stay perfect.

The candles will all melt and someone will inevitably move a vase to make room for another bread basket.

And thats ok, because great wedding reception tables are meant to be filled with conversation, shared meals, a few wine rings, and memories that last much longer than the flowers.

Matariki reminds us that some of life’s most meaningful moments ask us to look in three directions at once.

Back to the people who’ve shaped us.

Around at the people we get to share today with.

And forward to everything that’s still to come.

We see those same moments at weddings every week… in stories shared across generations, quiet moments of remembrance, and the excitement of a new chapter beginning.

Wishing you a meaningful Matariki, however you’re choosing to spend it.💫
