Elope at Te Aratipi
just the two of you
Set among the rolling hills of Te Aratipi, our fourth-generation family farm offers a private and deeply personal setting for couples seeking something understated, meaningful and uniquely their own.
Far removed from traditional wedding venues, Te Aratipi is a place of wide-open spaces, native bush, dramatic ridgelines and uninterrupted views. Whether you choose to exchange vows beneath a stand of trees, overlooking the hills, beside a secluded waterway or in one of the many hidden corners of the farm, your celebration will be shaped by the landscape and the people who matter most.
a place to make it your own
No two elopements at Te Aratipi are the same.
Some couples arrive with only their celebrant and photographer. Others bring their little one along to share in the moment. Whatever your vision, our role is simple: to provide a remarkable setting, thoughtful guidance and the space to celebrate your commitment in a way that feels authentic to you.
What we offer
• Exclusive access to a selection of private ceremony locations across the farm
• Beautiful backdrops for photography, from rolling hill country and native bush to secluded corners of the property
• Guidance in selecting the perfect location for your ceremony
• Access for your celebrant and photographer
• Recommendations for trusted local celebrants, photographers, florists and hair and makeup artists
• A relaxed, private experience focused entirely on the two of you
Who this is for?
This experience is designed for couples seeking something simple, meaningful and deeply personal.
For those who value privacy, beautiful surroundings and the freedom to celebrate in their own way, Te Aratipi offers a setting where the focus remains on what matters most.

We keep our elopements intentionally personal and host only a limited number each year.
If this feels like the right fit, we'd love to hear a little about yourselves and what you're imagining for your day. From there, we'll share our current options and help you create an experience that feels relaxed, memorable and uniquely yours.
