Church of the Good Shepherd Weddings New Zealand

The Church of the Good Shepherd, Lake Tekapo has captured the hearts of couples from all over the world and is a quaint and unassuming but enormously romantic venue for your New Zealand wedding. A large panoramic window behind the altar is deliberately clear to allow an uninterrupted view of Lake Tekapo and the spectacular Southern Alps mountain range beyond and is a serene place to stand and say your wedding vows.

The Church of the Good Shepherd sits literally only metres from the shores of the turquoise coloured, glacier-fed Lake Tekapo and the view to the magnificent snow-topped mountain ranges in the distance is something wedding couples remember for the rest of their lives.
