Love is in the air – literally – when you elevate your wedding by helicopter.

For an unforgettable wedding, there’s not much that beats taking your vows in a snowy mountaintop ceremony, high up in the Port Hills of Canterbury, overlooking the sea, on a golden sandy beach, or on a rocky backdrop amongst golden tussocks on the Southern Alps.

More Christchurch couples are opting for the incredible views and secluded locations afforded by a helicopter flight for making their once-in-a-lifetime time day even more unforgettable.

Whether you’re saying ‘I do’ in a secluded spot accessible only by helicopter, or taking the wedding party off for jaw-dropping photos, some popular local spots for a wedding helicopter flight include the Rakaia glaciers, the Southern Alps, Mt Herbert and Banks Peninsula, and Kaikōura.
