What can I use a wedding loan for?
Your wedding expenses loan can pay for any costs related to your wedding. This includes the dress, venue hire, transport, catering and anything else, as long as you stay within your loan limit.
Can a wedding loan pay for my honeymoon?
If you have money left over after arranging your big day, you could use this to book some of your honeymoon. But if the main purpose of your loan is to book travel, we recommend a specialised holiday loan.
Can I start paying my loan after the wedding?
Unfortunately, it’s not possible to delay repayments on your loan, which begin as soon as you receive your money. If you want to keep your repayments low, you can choosing a longer term loan, although this will mean paying more in interest overall.
Can I increase my wedding loan?
It’s not always possible to extend a loan that’s already in progress, so you should apply to borrow as much as you think you’ll need. If you’ve been making consistent repayments on a Harmoney loan for 6 months or longer, you may be eligible for a loan top-up that increases the amount you can borrow.
Can I pay back a wedding loan early?
Yes. Harmoney loan terms are for 3 or 5 years, but we encourage borrowers to pay back their loan early if they have the ability. That’s why we don’t charge any early repayment fees.

About wedding loans
The average New Zealand wedding now costs $35,000, so applying for a wedding loan is a great way to help cover costs.
Before you apply, it’s important to understand the various aspects of a wedding loan, how they affect you, and what type of loan will best suit your needs.
Unsecured wedding loan
An unsecured loan is one that does not require security from the borrower. Security is an asset which is put up to guarantee a loan, and in the case of a defaulted loan the asset is then seized by the lender.
At Harmoney our wedding loans are unsecured, so your assets are safe.
Secured wedding loan
Secured loans require an asset to be put up as security by the borrower. While these loans often carry attractive lower interest rates, if you default on your loan your assets will be seized and sold by the lender.
Harmoney does not offer secured loans.
Loan term
At Harmoney we offer three-year and five-year terms on our wedding loans. A shorter loan term will mean higher monthly repayments, but less interest charged overall, while a longer loan will mean lower monthly repayments with higher interest overall.
Unlike other lenders, we encourage you to get out of debt early by not charging any extra fees for early repayment.
Fixed or variable rate
There are two types of interest rates, variable and fixed rate. A variable rate will fluctuate in accordance with market values, so your repayments could vary from month to month. A fixed interest rate remains the same throughout the term of the loan, meaning you will always make the same repayment each month.
At Harmoney we only offer fixed loans to ensure certainty for our customers.
