Following are some of the most celebrated locations included in our wedding and elopement packages In Queenstown NZ.

Helicopter Wedding at Lake Quill

Experience the epitome of exclusivity with our most elusive helicopter wedding location—Lake Quill. Nestled within Fiordland National Park and in close proximity to the West Coast, this dramatic alpine lake, directly feeding New Zealand's tallest waterfall, sets a breathtaking stage for your wedding ceremony and photos.

In winter (June-August), the lake transforms into a frozen wonderland, adding a unique touch to your celebration. Spring, Summer, and Autumn offer their own charms, each enhancing the beauty of Lake Quill.

Lake Quill is one of our most secluded helicopter wedding spots and it pairs wonderfully with additional landings at Madagascar Beach, Tyndall Glacier, or The Remarkables.

Helicopter Weddings at Earnslaw Burn

Earnslaw Burn is another captivating location for an unforgettable mountain wedding. It is a beautiful valley beneath Mt Earnslaw's impressive hanging glacier, adorned with numerous cascading waterfalls. Situated near Glenorchy, the scenic 30-minute flight between Queenstown and Earnslaw Burn treats you to uninterrupted views spanning across Lake Wakatipu, Glenorchy, the Dart River, and the Rees Valley.

From June to August, the Earnslaw Burn valley experiences limited natural light, and the waterfalls are less abundant. During this period, we recommend choosing to land on the Earnslaw Ridgeline.

For an added dash of adventure and a diverse array of wedding photos, we delight in combining Earnslaw Burn with additional landings at Mount Crichton, Cecil Peak, or Coromandel Peak, ensuring your wedding day is filled with breathtaking moments and scenic variety.

Helicopter Weddings at Tyndall Glacier

Tyndall Glacier, just a 20-minute private helicopter flight from Queenstown, is another beautiful location in our Queenstown wedding packages. This location offers you an opportunity to soak in breathtaking views. Expect glacial ice throughout the year, impressive snow coverage during winter (June-August), and lingering snow into early spring (September & October)—perfect for creating a whimsical atmosphere with snow confetti!

With its snow-capped mountains and rugged ridge lines, Tyndall Glacier provides an epic backdrop for an elopement. As one of the more remote locations for helicopter weddings and elopements, it imparts an extra special and intimate feel to your day.

For those craving more mountain magic, we recommend pairing Tyndall Glacier with additional landings at Lochnagar, Cecil Peak, or Fog Peak. Our team ensures that your wedding day is filled with enchanting moments against stunning mountain vistas.
