WEDDINGS AT CABOT LODGE
As a boutique wedding venue, the team at Cabot Lodge can create intimate and unforgettable elopements in one of the most picturesque settings in the country.
Sitting atop Cathedral Peaks Station, wedding guests are greeted by unhindered views of Lake Manapouri, the Fiordland National Park and the surrounding mountains.
The Cabot Lodge courtyard is a picture-perfect location for an intimate and romantic wedding ceremony. Guests can then party the night away under the stars in the middle of the Fiordland wilderness.
The property is full of inspiring locations for photographs, and couples can also be whisked away by helicopter into the mountain ranges of the Fiordland National Park for photographs atop snowy mountains, stunning waterfalls, glaciers and unique hanging valleys.
Cabot Lodge can host a maximum of 15 wedding guests and can provide complete oversight on the wedding day to ensure the bride and groom’s vision is executed with care and attention to detail.
Working with the top wedding vendors in the Otago-Southland area, the Cabot Lodge team have the knowledge and relationships to deliver unforgettable elopements and intimate celebrations.
A three night exclusive-use booking requirement ensures couples have time to enjoy this significant milestone without time constraints, creating an intimate environment for the bride and groom to soak up this special time with friends and family.
