Wedding package
The Remarkables Heli Wedding
Exchange your vows high in The Remarkables, surrounded by breathtaking alpine views across Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu.
Queenstown’s iconic mountain range
The Remarkables are Queenstown’s most recognisable mountain range and one of New Zealand’s most iconic alpine landscapes. Your helicopter lands on Double Cone, one of the most spectacular landing sites within The Remarkables, where panoramic views stretch across Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding Southern Alps.
Just a short scenic helicopter flight from Queenstown, you’ll arrive at this breathtaking alpine location where you’ll exchange your vows surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery. I arrange your helicopter flight, assist with your New Zealand marriage licence application, organise your witnesses and photography, and make sure every detail of your wedding day is thoughtfully planned from beginning to end.
What your day looks like
Your wedding day begins at your Queenstown accommodation, where your hair and makeup artist will come to you, allowing for a relaxed and enjoyable start to the morning. While you’re getting ready, your photographer captures the special details, including your dress, flowers, jewellery and those quiet moments before the day begins.
Once you’re ready, you’ll make your way to the helicopter base before taking a scenic flight into The Remarkables mountain range. As the helicopter climbs above Queenstown, you’ll enjoy incredible views across Lake Wakatipu before landing on Double Cone, one of the most spectacular alpine wedding locations in New Zealand.
Surrounded by rugged alpine peaks and breathtaking panoramic scenery, you’ll exchange your vows in complete privacy before spending time together capturing beautiful photographs overlooking Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu and the Southern Alps. After your photography session, you’ll board the helicopter for your scenic return flight to Queenstown, bringing an unforgettable wedding experience to a relaxed and memorable conclusion.
Your personalised proposal will confirm your chosen package, optional extras and final pricing.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the flight to The Remarkables?
The whole experience is about three hours. The flight to the ridge takes only around ten minutes each way, and the helicopter time — flying plus waiting at the landing — totals about an hour and a quarter, leaving unhurried time for your ceremony and photography.
Can we marry here in winter?
The Remarkables is spectacular under snow from July onwards, subject to conditions and pilot approval.
Is a helicopter wedding safe?
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.
