Retreat Wedding Stories

Weddings in Paradise

We love to host weddings at Mt Cook Lakeside Retreat. It’s wonderful to share the beauty of our setting with couples, families and friends on such a special day, and to be part of memories that last a lifetime.

We’ve invited couples to share their stories and reflect on their celebrations with us. Please enjoy our collection of Retreat Wedding Stories.

Please tell us a little more about your wedding requirements. There are a number of options we can offer, from a 2-hour ceremony on the Wedding Lawn to a destination wedding that runs over 2-3 days. Once you have had a chance to review the options, we can provide a quote for your wedding based on the kind of experience you would like to create.

Let us know if you would like to arrange a viewing of our facilities – we would love to show you around!
