Liebig Dome Heli Wedding

Liebig Dome sits high on the Liebig Range within Aoraki / Mt Cook National Park, above the Tasman and Murchison Glaciers. At more than 2,300 metres it's reached only by helicopter — a remote, pristine alpine setting with 360-degree views of the Southern Alps.

Few places on earth compare. You marry on a high alpine dome ringed by New Zealand's greatest peaks, with glaciers falling away on every side and Aoraki / Mt Cook on the horizon. It's utterly private, snow-covered for much of the year, and truly unforgettable.

The scenic flight from Glentanner, near Aoraki / Mt Cook, takes roughly 15 to 20 minutes each way, climbing over glaciers and snowfields into the heart of the national park. The whole experience is usually about three hours, with unhurried time at the top.

Yes. There's no residency or citizenship requirement to marry in New Zealand, and most visitors travel on an NZeTA visa waiver. I arrange your New Zealand marriage licence and all the paperwork, and your marriage is recognised back home — I'll guide you through every step.

Safety always comes first, and the pilot has the final say. Alpine weather changes quickly, so if we can't fly we move to a beautiful alternative or reschedule, and the helicopter cost is refunded. I always build flexibility into your day.

Dress as you've dreamed, but bring warm layers and grippy, flat footwear — it's cold and snowy above 2,300 metres, even in summer. A jacket or wrap for photographs makes all the difference. I'll talk you through the day's conditions beforehand.

The landing is snow-covered for much of the year, so it's spectacular across the seasons. Spring and summer bring the most settled flying, while the colder months offer a pure white wonderland. Every flight depends on conditions and the pilot's approval on the day.

Yes — marry as just the two of you, or bring up to four guests (six people in total including you both). Guests travel on the helicopter too, subject to the aircraft's weight and seating limits for the landing. I'll confirm exactly what's possible for your day.

Yes. I work only with CAA-certified operators and hugely experienced alpine pilots, and every flight carries full insurance. The pilot always has the final say on the day — if conditions aren’t right to fly safely, we simply move to a beautiful alternative rather than take any risk. Your safety comes first, always.
