While you're here to help us celebrate, we hope you'll also take some time to explore this beautiful part of the world. Our hometown Wanaka offers stunning walks, boutique shops, and lakeside patios perfect for a relaxed afternoon. Our wedding location in Queenstown, is full of adventure — from the original bungee and boat cruises to world-class dining and wineries. Whether you’re seeking tranquility or thrills, there’s something here for everyone. We can’t wait for you to experience it all!
If you need some help planning an itinerary Wattie & Sarah or Andrew & Janet will happily assist - just shoot us an email at wattaboutforever@gmail.com
For some inspo, please see below for some of our favourite places.
*We may partake in some activities in the week leading up to the big day once we have an idea what people are keen to do.
One of our favourite half day hikes, with an awesome view of Lake Wanaka. Family friendly (but lots of steps).
A fuller day hike, due to drive to get there. Hike up to see the glacier through lovely bush, along the river.
An iconic pub, well worth a visit if you plan to pop over the hill to Wanaka from Queenstown.
Known as the 8th wonder of the world - if you have the time an overnight boat trip is so worth it (and not just because I work for them!)
If you have done Milford, or fancy something less known, but potentially even more epic - Doubtful Sound is for you - I recommend an overnight trip only to make the journey there and back worth it.
Hire some bikes and ride along the Gibbston Wine Trail stopping at the amazing vineyards - suggest a shuttle back at the end as you might be a bit wobbly!
