New Zealand is a delightful wedding destination that's growing in popularity every year, especially as those interested in Australian weddings take that extra step (a 1,000 mile step, at that!) and look to its southeastern neighbor as an exciting alternative. New Zealand showcases Mother Nature in all her glory, with a breathtaking landscape of mountain ranges, volcanic regions, glaciers, lakes, geysers, grassy plains, farmland, rainforests, and a spectacular coastline that seems to hover on the edge of the world!

Adventuresome couples will find just what they are looking for in all of the choices this island nation offers. Eco-tourism abounds, whether exploring the incredible marine life, the country's volcanic regions, forest reserves, deserted beaches, or, afterwards, exploring its extensive thermal pools, mud baths, and spas. Swim with the dolphins, watch the whales, and commune with the sheep and baby lambs that far outnumber humans in New Zealand.

And did we mention the food? Indeed, the only thing that surpasses New Zealand's beauty is the casual warmth and great good humor of the "Kiwis" themselves, a people renowned for their gracious familiarity and spirited optimism.
