Lake Lochnagar Heli Wedding

A magical helicopter location for elopement is located in the heart of New Zealand’s South Island, surrounded by rugged peaks and shimmering lakes.

The stunning Lake Lochnagar lies cradled between towering mountains. In the winter, the location is a winter wonderland with snow-capped mountains. In the summer, the mountains give off a heavenly essence of time from old, its pristine waters reflecting the vivid hues.

Imagine yourself at the helicopter base getting ready to board your helicopter. Your heart is racing excitedly at the sight of the sleek chopper waiting. The pilot greets you with a warm smile, and you board with your Marriage Celebrant and Photographer, strapping in for the journey that will make your dreams of your new life together a reality. With a roar of the rotors, you lift off the ground, soaring over valleys.

The views are stunning; nothing compares to when you approach Lake Lochnagar. The helicopter hovers above the picture-perfect lake, framed by dramatic cliffs and the lush greenery of the surrounding wilderness/or snow-capped —this is truly a scene out of a dream.

The serene beauty of nature will envelop you, the quiet only broken by the distant call of a bird. You will feel that you are the only people in the world.

Working personally with your Marriage Celebrant, you can create a beautiful story written for the two of you that tells your journey and feelings. This story will forever remind you of the day you said “I do” in a magical, fairy-tale location. The bonus is that you have a fantastic photographer who captures all your moments without crowding you—an award-winning photographer who will capture the essence of your day.

“We wanted a beautiful stress-free wedding we would remember for life… and we’re so glad that we found Donna to organise it all for us. From the first correspondence we knew that Donna was the right wedding planner for us. She is genuine, warm, interested, efficient, and at no point did we feel like it was just business as usual on either side. After everything was finalised, Donna provided us with a comprehensive schedule of the wedding day, with the exact time of each event, from the arrival of the makeup artist, photographer, bouquet delivery, to the helicopter departure. All we had to do was book our accommodation, fly into town with our wedding attires, and enjoy our special day!” ‘H&M’
