Marilou & Adam | Wanaka Elopement Wedding | Wanaka Wedding Planner

Marilou and Adam have been together for 10 years, after first meeting on the swim team in their home city of Montreal, Quebec. They knew that they wanted to elope somewhere unique and beautiful, and seeing as neither of them had been to New Zealand before, it seemed the perfect place to plan their holiday and wedding. Although their ceremony was kept intimate and private, they were actually joined on their holiday by 6 of their closest friends who couldn’t bare to miss out on all of the fun! So once back from their helicopter trip, officially now ‘husband and wife’, Marilou and Adam celebrated with with their nearest and dearest at one of our favourite Wanaka restaurants, Bistro Gentil.

Marilou and Adam, thank you so much for being such kind hearted and fun spirited souls… Huge congratulations to the two of you xxx

Thanks so much to everyone for their part in making this day so perfect.

When people say getting married is one of the most stressful things you can do I could not disagree with them more. Boutique Weddings made the entire process from start to finish completely seamless. We were able to truly enjoy every moment and will cherish our memories forever. It was an unforgettable day and the most special moment of both our lives.
