Cantharis Alpacas can make your wedding even more memorable by providing friendly alpacas for you and your guests to interact with, to pat and to be part of your wedding celebration and photoshoot at your own designated location. You can take them for a stroll while your photographer captures the special moments. We will be there to take care of the animals and to assist you with the creation of many more smiles and great memories.

To arrange for our alpacas at your wedding, please contact us via our Contact Page so that we can confirm availability for your selected date, and to discuss your preferences in terms of alpaca selection and wedding colour scheme. This will allow us to reflect the colours in the alpaca decoration. We will work closely with you to prepare for the perfect day and will arrive at your venue at the agreed time.

What we offer:
  • Two alpacas, available for photoshoots, selfies and to mingle with you and your guests at the event for up to 2 hours at a time to be advised by you. The animals will be prepared and decorated on our farm
  • Transport to and from the event, limited to 1 hour travelling time each way. Given that our farm is Kapiti based, this radius includes Wellington, the Hutt Valley and Levin
  • One alpaca handler at the event
  • Price: $700.
Considerations:
  • Given that many plants can be poisonous to alpacas, the animals need to be kept away from floral bouquets, garden exotic plants etc. as they will nibble anything.

To reduce potential stress with the animals:
  • Two alpacas are required as a minimum as alpacas are group (herd) animals
  • The animals should not be exposed to loud noise and not to other animals (dogs)
  • The animals should be held in a calm and open environment
  • Dependent on the time of the year, the alpacas may have short or long coats. All our alpacas are shorn in November
  • Parking space for a car and trailer is required.
