With a whole host of unforgettable locations to choose from, New Zealand is one of the world’s finest wedding destinations, says Tourism New Zealand’s General Manager Australia Tim Burgess:
“New Zealand has many stunning wedding settings to choose from. You can shout your love from the mountaintops or clink your glasses at one of the country’s finest vineyards – and then take off for the honeymoon of your dreams. Add to this our luxury lodges, spas and gourmet food – and you have a match made in heaven.
“We are excited to be making history and working with one lucky same-sex couple to become the very first from Australia to be married here in New Zealand.”
The recent decision to amend the Act has been hugely welcomed by supporters of same-sex marriage, with many commentators congratulating the nation for being progressive. New Zealand has never been one to shy away from pioneering state acts, having been the first country to grant women the vote in 1893.
Prize includes return flights from Australia, accommodation, a special wedding ceremony and stylish reception. The wedding location has not yet been announced; details will be revealed in July alongside the winning couple.
