Weddings and helicopters

Are you currently planning your wedding? Whether you are organising or rescheduling your big day, you will want to ensure you arrange the best wedding possible.

The sky is the limit if you are looking for that wow factor that will trump other weddings. That’s right, go big and aim for the sky by featuring a helicopter!

While we’ve previously discussed why you should have a helicopter involved in your big day, now is the time to mention all the uses a helicopter can provide to your wedding.

From transportation to aesthetic and photography benefits, our helicopters make a versatile tool.

To discover how a helicopter can complete your wedding day, take a look below.

Helicopters add a grand entrance and departure

The most obvious purpose for a helicopter on your big day is transportation. Make an entrance no guest will forget by flying to or from your ceremony or reception.

For the bride and groom that want to announce their arrival, our helicopters can be used to fly the married couple to their reception (assuming landing is permitted). No one will forget the moment the newlyweds appear out of the sky – literally!

Or, if you want to end the night with a bang, you could always choose to escape the reception via a helicopter. Helicopter flights certainly add a theatrical and extravagant touch, so there is no better way to wrap up the night.

Make the last thing your guests see is you and your partner exclusively boarding a flight and disappearing into the night.

Transfers for the wedded couple and the bridal party

On top of our helicopters delivering a grand entrance and departure for the newlyweds, they are also great for transfers for the entirety of the wedding party.

With our fleet ranging from 4, 5, 6 to 14-seater passenger helicopters, we can transfer any sized party from the ceremony to the reception.

For larger groups, we can offer multiple members of our aircraft. This is especially handy for those who want to include the parents or children of the bride and groom.

Delivers unrestricted photo opportunities

Many people don’t realise that our helicopter services can be used for photography and videography purposes for events such as a wedding.

Hovering in the sky provides an advantage for such milestones. If you have an outdoor wedding, you can utilise our services for photo and video purposes to get some unique and impressive angles that can only be captured from the air. Imagine the final footage!

Furthermore, besides finding great photo opportunities from the sky, we can also take your elusive photo opportunities on the ground (assuming landing is approved/permitted).

By flying you to a distant but not too far location from your ceremony location, we can help you achieve photos that wouldn’t be possible by car. Please note this relies on prior planning.

At Sydney Helicopters, we are Sydney’s premier helicopter service provider. Having operated for over 30 years, we are the longest-running commercial helicopter operator in the city, making us a credible and reliable choice for all your helicopter needs.
