Bill and I just want to thank you and everyone involved for making our wedding day a fairy tale come true. Planning a wedding from the states we depended on you, Lisa, to take care of everything and you delivered.  Every person involved with our wedding were professional and friendly.  Wayne, our officiant, you followed my requests for the ceremony and also added your own personal touch  Your blessing for our marriage touched our hearts. Jan, our premiere photographer, outstanding job. You certainly have an eye for capturing the perfect shot. We have viewed and shared the sneak peak of our wedding photos that the three of you  (Jan, Lisa, and Wayne) captured with our family and friends and everyone including ourselves are in awe of how amazing they are. Several people have commented that they are so good they should appear in a magazine. I can hardly wait to see and share the rest of them.  Warmest Regards

Cindy and Bill – 3rd January 2016

We’d just like to thank you again for the perfect day yesterday! All three of you made sure everything went smoothly and as relaxed as possible and you are great company as well. The way everything came together yesterday is just as we had hoped it would be, a (as much as possible) relaxed, magical day that we will remember for a long, long time. Please also send our thanks again to the hairdresser and the make-up lady, Oliwia looked amazing yesterday and they did a great job.

Once again thanks for everything!

Rob & Oliwia – 8th March 2016

Just wanted to thank you for our beautiful day. It was everything we could have hoped for ! You made the day relaxing and fun. Thank you for that. Seems like a dream.  You guys make a great team 🙂

Thank you , Nick and Carmen – 22nd April 2015

My husband and I got married at Lake Wanaka in February this year and we couldn’t have wished for a more perfect day.The venue was sensational and Lisa, Wayne and Jan could simply not do enough for us. From the initial email enquiry up until the day itself Lisa was a marvelous wedding planner. She put myself and my husband at ease and made the day run totally smoothly. She could always be contacted and replied swiftly to all of my questions and queries.As for Wayne and Jan, the photographers, we really could not have asked for more professional and laid back people! They totally put us at ease and we had an amazing time having our wonderful wedding pictures taken. We now have the album and motion DVD which are both incredible.If anyone is even considering having their wedding in New Zealand then I would recommend Ultimate New Zealand Weddings without question. They were simply amazing!Thank you Ultimate New Zealand Weddings for a day we will never forget.

Michelle & Alistair married 13th February 2013

Thank you so much! We’ve had the best time and you all made our day so stress-free and fun. So sad to be flying  home tomorrow – plotting our next trip already xx

Helen & Chris – 7th January 2015

Just a quick message to say the wedding photos have arrived and they are incredible, I didn’t need to worry about them! The book was lovely and the motion show was emotional.

Thanks again for everything you have done to make our ‘special day’ very special indeed.

It feels a bit sad that this might be the last time I am in contact with you, I might just email you from time to time with the slightest excuse!!! Although I have said to Mathew about renewing our vows as an excuse to get up on the glacier, if we do, I’ll definitely be in touch, but that won’t be anytime soon.

Anyway, take care and keep up the good work, I can’t think of a better way in a more incredible destination to get married.

Marion & Mathew 24th June 2014

I want to thank you and your team soooo much! Please let Debbie know that I may have fallen a little bit in love with her skills. She was amazing and so quick. You guys were so fantastic, I don’t think that there is a way that I can ever thank you. 🙂 The day was basically stress-free and we got the perfect weather as far as I am concerned. I can’t wait to see all of the photos, I just keep looking at the ones on Facebook.

Simone & Andrew  14th October 2014

Where do we even begin…. we could have not chosen any better if we tried, we feel like we hit the jackpot with Wayne, Lisa and Jan organising our ceremony and despite unforgiving winds on the day they managed to swiftly make amendments to ensure we were able to get up on a mountain for the perfect wedding shots. Every supplier ultimate weddings used as well as linked us to were also absolutely incredible. We had compliments from every one of our guests about the whole day. The only negative is that we couldn’t kidnap Wayne back to Aus.. he is absolutely hilarious and just who you want to have around on your wedding day! Thanks so much again Lisa Jan and Wayne.. we want to do it all over again!!

Talitha & Mike

I hope you feeling better. So sorry that I didn’t get to meet you

Jan & Wayne are absolutely amazing people and fit in so well with our crowd. My sister gave a speech at the reception and she spoke very highly of them!

I just wanted to send a massive thank you for everything you did. And for putting up with my annoying questions all the time!

Thank you from the bottom of my toes once again

Bonnie & Shane  19th July 2014

We received the package yesterday – the photos, the slideshow, and the photo book are all marvelous!!! We relived our beautiful wedding day all over again.  Giant thanks once again to you, Wayne and Jan for a perfect, stress-free day and memories for a lifetime! It was everything we could ever ask for and more.

All the best and keep in touch,

Tatiana and David – 1st March 2015

We have been so lucky to have UNZW looking after us so beautifully. Pauls parents have whipped out the video every chance they get to show friends, often when we’re there… I think I’ve seen it about 15 times at least! But that’s ok, the whole thing was so lovely and I notice something new every time. We created some photobooks to give to my dad & in-laws for Xmas.  I am already missing NZ, fingers crossed it won’t be too long between visits

Thank you soooo much, you have an amazing team over there & it’s been THE best experience of my life.

Jayde & Paul 27th August 2014

Thank you so much Lisa, Jan & Wayne for making our day as special as we could have imagined!  Everything was so expertly organised, the day went so well and the photos turned out to be absolutely stunning!!  We have had so many comments from our friends, family & complete strangers about how amazing the photos look.  Thanks again!

Ally & Sean – 20th August 2015

Thanks so much Lisa. Andy and I honestly cannot thank you, Jan and Wayne enough for making our day so special. It really was everything we had hoped for and more and we really appreciate everything you have done for us.We had a fantastic time thank you, loved every minute of our wedding and our whole trip so thank you so much. We couldn’t have asked for more!

Paula & Andy – 11th February 2015

Organising a wedding can be tough at the best of times, but arranging the elopement of my dreams was going to take a miracle. When I first spoke to Lisa I thought she would laugh when I told her that I wanted to arrange a surprise elopement. Yes, a surprise elopement! My wonderful partner had no idea what he was in for. I thought I had set myself an impossible task – arranging the elopement, from Australia, without my partner knowing about it, but Lisa was amazing. She took care of all the details, keeping in constant contact by phone and email. Even when I had to change the dates at short notice, Lisa took everything in her stride and ensured that the whole process ran smoothly and without stress. Even after it is all over I am amazed by how effortless the whole thing was. Just when I thought the service from the team at Ultimate New Zealand Weddings could not get any better, I was proven wrong. I called Lisa after picking up the marriage licence in Queenstown (the first time my soon to be husband knew anything about this) and she told me the weather would be miserable on our scheduled date. Not what you want to hear when you have planned a heli wedding on Coromandel Peak. With only hours notice, Lisa set about making arrangements to once again change the date for us so that we could have our dream elopement. The elopement itself was incredible. Lisa, Wayne and Jan were absolutely fabulous and their personalised attention made us both feel relaxed and pampered. The helicopter ride out to Coromandel Peak was spectacular and the ceremony was simply perfect with a stunning backdrop. We then went back to Lake Wanaka for more photos which we can’t wait to see! The service and attention to detail throughout the day far exceeded our expectations. Thank you Lisa, Wayne and Jan for an absolutely amazing and unforgettable day.

 Ange & Shae 6th January 2014

Thank you so, so much for our beautiful photos! We are absolutely thrilled with not only our photos but the lovely motion picture dvd that you put together and of course our photo book. Very well done 🙂   You guys were so good to us through the whole process and you are truly talented.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and all the best for 2016.

Lauren & Brian – 21st October 2015

OMG the photos are amazing.

Thanks for everything that you have done for our wedding, it turned out beautiful despite the weather.

Thank you so much for everything you have done, will let you know when we are in town next… Thanks again,

Cassie & Jason 14th August 2014

Adam and I would like to thank you for our beautiful wedding yesterday. You made the process so smooth and enjoyable and it really was a beautiful and exciting day.

We can’t wait to see the pics!!!

Danielle & Adam – 14th September 2015

Thanks so much!!! The pictures look amazing! We went a little nut when we saw them 🙂 we have had so much feedback from people saying we have set the bar very high with our destination and the pictures! So don’t be surprised if you get a few more aussies your way!

Jayne & Troy 30th October 2014

We just received the photos in the mail!

They look incredible! We’re still going through them all and still can’t believe that’s us.  Thank you all again SO much for this incredible and amazing experience.

We’ve already been trying to convince other couples to do it too!

Angela and Dave  20th April 2015

I cannot say enough amazing things about the people from Ultimate New Zealand Weddings and Aspiring Photography. Lisa, Jan, and Wayne made us really feel like family. It was not only a beautiful ceremony, thanks to them, but they were a pleasure to have as part of this very exciting and important moment in our lives. Not to mention the wonderful people they work with: Bev, Kirsten, Janine and our flower people… what a wonderful group!

Kyle & Troy 10th December 2014

We chose Ultimate New Zealand Weddings for our cheeky elopement and were so incredibly happy with our wedding! We were a little last minute in terms of organising things at our end, but Lisa and the team pulled everything together magically and immediately understood that we wanted a fun and relaxed ceremony. Thank you so much Lisa, Jan and Wayne for laughing with us the whole day, and for the beautiful ceremony and photographs!

Rebecca & Rowan – 16th September 2015

OMG the photos are amazing.

Thanks for everything that you have done for our wedding, it turned out beautiful despite the weather.

Thank you so much for everything you have done, will let you know when we are in town next… Thanks again,

Cassie & Jason 14th August 2014

From the Bride’s Mother – Guys you and your team, were absolutely amazing. From the hairdresser and makeup team, who calmly came up to me and redid my makeup after mum was taken away. To the amazing organisation with the many photo combinations,  the diverse locations that you took the bridal party to for the photo shoot and the understanding of where to be at what time to capture the best light. The vintage wedding car and driver and not to mention the minister who was so down to earth and made the service so special. The smooth running of the day that was seamless. Although it was a small wedding, two of my family members have said it was the best wedding they have ever been to. I may be biased but I have to agree. I can’t wait to see the final package but love the shots that you have posted already. Thank you and job well and truly done.

Stacey & Craig 16th May 2014

We have received the parcel, we have got to sit down yet to watch the DVD but I’ve managed to have a look at the pictures and they look amazing!!! Fantastic job all of you. Thanks again for a great service.

Tanya & Jason – 10th January 2015

We just wanted to thank you, Wayne, and Jan again for making our day so special. It was a perfect day- everything we could have ever imagined. You made the whole planning process so stress-free, so thank you for that and also for helping us be so relaxed on our wedding day. It’s a day we sure will never forget 😀 we were so impressed with the service we got for everything- from the flowers to the hair and makeup, the helicopters, the venue at Stoneridge, and everything you and Wayne did for us.

Thank you so much,

Karli & Brenton

Carol and I saw your FB link, and we absolutely loved your photos! They are so clear on the happiness and fun we had on our very special wedding day! Thanks so much to you, Jan and Wayne for helping us to make our wedding a dream come true, starting our union in such a beautiful place.

Cheers!

We just wanted to say thank you to you, Wayne & Jan. We had the most amazing day, so much fun and laughter. Please pass on our thanks to everyone involved, it couldn’t have been more perfect.

Xian & Andy 15th October 2014

Thank you so very much!! The package arrived on Friday. It has been awesome to reminisce!!!! The backdrop is so stunning. We are so glad we made the last minute decision to record/video the ceremony. We’ve laughed and chatted about it again. I was teary when I watched it. We truly had an amazing day and you all helped make it so easy. There are a few favourites in the photos so we will now choose a couple to frame. I meant to let you know that the ones up on your facebook page are so cool, especially with the mountains in the background. So we were all looking forward to the package!  We had such a fun time in NZ. A wonderful country. We created lots of memories. We all hope to return again one day and we will drop in and day g’day.

Brian & Cathy  16th April 2015

We would like to thank you for all the arrangements you have made for our wedding. You, Jan, Wayne and your crew brought us a lot of wonderful and joyful memories with your kindness, warmness, good caring, and hearts. Moreover, I have to mention that, we are impressed by Wayne, who took us to enjoy NZ scones with hot chocolates, they are delicious.

You and your crew did a fantastic job. Thank you.

C & A – 17th April 2015

We just wanted to say thank you so much for everything that you have done in the lead up for yesterday and yesterday itself. You all made our day the perfect dream come true!!! It was so much better than we could ever thought! We had the most amazing time. Thank you so much again.

Hannah & Andrew 21st October 2014

Thank you guys for the amazing coordination on everything, our wedding wouldn’t be as smooth without your assistance. The photos are lovely 🙂 Thanks a lot Lisa!

C & C- 19th November 2015

We have received our wedding photos and couldn’t be happier. The shots are absolutely beautiful and turned out so much better than we thought they would considering the horrible weather we had! Thank you so much for all your hard work leading up to, on, and after the big day. You went out of your way to make sure we were happy, stress-free and were so patient and accommodating to all our needs-nothing was too much trouble. You were so welcoming we really did feel like we were part of your family. It is wonderful to be able to get full copies of all the edited shots as many companies will only give a small selection of photos as part of the package. Our only complaint is that we couldn’t afford to have you there for the entire reception! We chose your business on a word of mouth recommendation and am so glad we took the advice! I will be recommending aspiring photography to anyone who needs professional photos in the South Island! Thank you so much for being part of our special day and for giving us such beautiful memories we will always cherish!

Anna and Rory xx

It’s great to email you now that we’ve met! You and Jan and Wayne really made our day and we feel like we’ve made 3 friends! Sarah and I pride ourselves on being down to earth and genuine, having 3 people who are like minded to share our special day with means a great deal. Thank you all.  On a professional note, the photographs are a credit to you all and we look forward to the video etc.  In closing, we could never have asked for nor expected the kindness we received from you guys.  We will make a genuine effort to keep in touch.

Travis and Sarah 24th September 2014

I wanted to thank you so much for everything you did to make our day so perfect and magical. I wish I had a time machine so we could go back and do it all again …..

Rachel & Chris – 1st October 2015

How are you doing today? Still busy I think;-)?Today the package arrived!  Wayne, Jan and you did a great job, it all looks great. We go to our parents tonight to show the video and motion show:D

This week we go to the court house to make it all official in Holland, after that we will plan a small party. Thanks again for everything!! You guys are great. Hope to see you all again in de future.

Kind Regards,
