All-Inclusive Heli Elopements in Queenstown & Wānaka
Exchange an intimate promise on a breathtaking landscape reachable only by helicopter, with the planning, the flight and the ceremony handled for you.
Start by choosing the shape of your day
Every elopement is built around one of three experiences. Pick the one that fits how much of the day you want in the air, and we'll tailor the rest.
Half-Day Elopement
Best for couples who want the mountains without a full day of logistics.
An intimate heli elopement focused on what matters most, including helicopter hire, celebrant, makeup and photography.
Full-Day Elopement
Best for couples who want the day to unfold slowly, from morning light to dinner.
A relaxed, immersive heli elopement with multiple scenic landings, photography and videography, makeup and celebrant services, helicopter hire and curated dinner solutions.
5 Heli Location Combo
Best for couples who want to see as much of the landscape as one day allows.
Up to five distinct landings — glaciers, alpine lakes, waterfalls, mountain peaks and ocean beaches — with full helicopter hire, photography, videography, makeup, curated dinner solutions and celebrant included.
Welcome to a different way of saying "I Do."
Say “I Do” at Scenic Locations In & Around Queenstown & Wanaka
Our helicopter elopements invite you to exchange vows in extraordinary, remote locations around Queenstown and Wanaka accessible only by helicopter and shared only with each other.
Combine Romance with Adventure
Elopements are a blend of romance and adventure, where sweeping landscapes replace crowded venues and every moment feels intimate, intentional, and unforgettable.
All-inclusive Heli Elopement Packages
We offer all-inclusive packages for elopements, carefully designed to make the experience seamless, stress-free and deeply personal from start to finish.
Rely on Our Years of Experience
Our Years of Experience helps plan & curate a memorable experience for every couple based on their story & perspective.
Queenstown or Wānaka?
Both sit within the same alpine region and both fly to extraordinary places. The difference is the feel of the day and where you base yourselves.
Queenstown Elopements
Dramatic alpine terrain minutes from town, with easy flight access to peaks, ridgelines and remote glacial valleys. Good for couples who want mountain scale and a lively base for the days either side.

Wānaka Elopements
Quieter, wide open and lake-centred, with long views over Lake Wānaka and the surrounding ranges. Good for couples who want calm, space and a slower pace to the day.

What “all-inclusive” actually means
You're not assembling vendors. Each package brings the flight, the ceremony and the people who capture it into one plan, so the only thing left to decide is where you land.
- Private helicopter hire and your scenic landings
- A registered marriage celebrant for the ceremony
- Professional photography of the whole experience
- Hair and makeup, depending on the package
- Videography and dinner solutions on the fuller packages
- Planning, timings and weather contingency handled for you
Photography and film, built into the day
Every package includes professional photography, and the fuller packages add videography, so the flight, the vows and the quiet moments afterwards are all documented. Nothing is staged for the camera; we shoot around your day rather than the other way around.
Real elopements, real conditions
Every image below is from a heli elopement we have flown and photographed in Queenstown and Wānaka. No stock, no staging.
Coming from overseas?
Most of the couples we fly are travelling to New Zealand for this. We plan around your arrival, help you sequence the paperwork and the day itself, and keep a weather contingency built into your booking so a single forecast doesn't decide your trip.
Frequently Asked Questions
