Good luck.....This may give you some ideas and information. http://www.theweddingcompany.co.nz/

you got all this from the word "quick"?:-) Thanks for all replies I understand your concerns re illegal immigratio but dont be too alert:-) , I have never been to NZ and do not intend to stay there by no way:-)

My Australian partner and me are living in different continents at the moment and will be apart probably for another half a year, its quite a situation so we think we ll just get married when Im next time in Australia, thinking of New Zealand at the moment, sounds just fine to me, I mean paperwork, timing, pretty views:-) My partner insists on Australia though:-((

j19fmm, thanks again for the link, very helpful. it does seem that easy.

But then if your partner is insisting on Oz you may be out of luck!

But the Cally's site is the one we will use I think if we go for NZ finally. I d seen it before and actually due to that site I started thinking of NZ, the previous dream was Santorini in Greece which is not going to work out now, and NZ looked differently but as well nice. The site does have lots of ideas. Hope the places are as pretty as seem on photos:-)
