Everyone’s idea of getting married is different. Here are the different options I can offer you as your celebrant.

Kineta Booker Christchurch Elopement Celebrant
ELOPEMENT

($150 non-refundable deposit; balance due one week out from your elopement)

Elope away with your greatest love, embracing your freedom of choice: marrying where you want, when you want, and with the handful of guests you want!

Throw away the rule book of organising a big, traditional wedding by choosing to elope!

Here are some reasons people choose to elope: because it’s an utterly authentic, ‘just us’ experience; intimacy and intention; less family drama (someone had to say it – ha!); valuing experiences over stuff; far less stress and anxiety; less planning; and life is meant to be an adventure – so why not elope away for the love of fun! And each other! An elopement includes:

  • maximum of 10 adult guests*
  • personalised ceremony (Kineta will help you write your vows)
  • elopement certificate with your witnesses signatures on it
  • keepsake vow booklets
  • *have more than 10 guests? Say, up to 20? Ask me how to upgrade to a Mini Wedding

ELOPEMENT PACKAGE – from $1299 (+GST where applicable)

($300 non-refundable deposit; balance due 14 days before your elopement)

All of the awesomeness from an elopement with the added option of a photographer. I work with several talented photographers, to ensure there’s always someone available for your beautifully relaxed, stress-free elopement. It includes:

  • maximum of 10 adult guests*
  • personalised ceremony (Kineta will help you write your vows)
  • elopement certificate with your witnesses signatures on it
  • photos during ceremony
  • up to 1 hour of photos onsite (this includes the ceremony)
  • an online gallery of your elopement images within 40 business days
  • GST will be added by any vendor who is not GST exempt.
  • *have more than 10 guests? Say, up to 20? Ask me how to upgrade to a Mini Wedding
