A private mountain, just for you

An exclusive alpine wedding location with breathtaking views across Lake Wānaka.

Accessible only by helicopter, Lookout Hill offers complete privacy with panoramic views across Lake Wānaka and the surrounding alpine landscape. It’s an unforgettable setting for couples wanting an intimate wedding in one of New Zealand’s most spectacular locations.

I arrange your helicopter flight, assist with your New Zealand marriage licence application, organise your witnesses and photography, so all you need to do is relax and enjoy your wedding day.

What your day looks like

Your day begins at your accommodation, where you’ll enjoy a relaxed morning getting ready for your wedding.

Your hairstylist and makeup artist will come to you, allowing you to simply relax and enjoy the excitement of the day. Before you get dressed, your photographer will arrive to capture the details of your wedding, including your dress, flowers, jewellery and those quiet moments before your ceremony.

Once you’re ready, you’ll travel to the helicopter base, where your pilot will welcome you before taking you on a scenic helicopter flight to the exclusive Lookout Hill landing site.

After landing, you’ll have time to take in the breathtaking panoramic views across Lake Wānaka before exchanging your vows in complete privacy. Following your ceremony, you’ll enjoy a relaxed photography session together while exploring this spectacular alpine location.

After your time on the mountain, you’ll return by helicopter before continuing your celebrations however you choose.

From beginning to end, your wedding day is carefully planned so you can simply relax, enjoy the experience, and focus on celebrating your marriage together.

Your personalised proposal will confirm your chosen package, optional extras and final pricing.

Frequently asked questions

What makes Lookout Hill special?

It's a private mountain with exclusive use — you won't share it with anyone. The whole of Lake Wānaka and the surrounding peaks are yours for the ceremony.

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.

With love, from New Zealand
