Fiona Farquhar
Wedding Celebrant + Founder

Originally from Scotland (yes, she has a Scottish accent!), Fiona has called New Zealand home since 2008.

With an infectious personality, a thirst for adventure, and a knack for seizing opportunities, Fiona has immersed herself in New Zealand’s luxury tourism industry during her time in Queenstown and Kaikōura.

Fiona’s extensive experience has cultivated a profound appreciation for bespoke experiences amidst New Zealand’s breathtaking landscapes and the majestic Southern Alps.

Fiona’s passion for elopements and creating unforgettable, tailor-made experiences was ignited whilst witnessing a friend’s elopement ceremony on a stunning mountain top near Glenorchy, just outside Queenstown.

Since relocating to Kaikōura in 2019, Fiona has immersed herself in the area's natural beauty and discovered numerous breathtaking elopement locations. So with a genuine desire to make her clients' dreams come true and a talent for matching them with top-quality bespoke local experiences, Fiona founded the Kaikoura Elopement Company.

Where it all started

With a deep passion for adventure, intimacy, and sentimentality, Fiona and her dedicated team are committed to turning elopement dreams into reality. We take great pride in connecting couples with the finest hand-picked wedding vendors and experiences that Kaikōura has to offer.
