Where can the helicopter land for a heli-wedding?
There are heaps of different landing options for your Queenstown or Wanaka heli-wedding. Each location has a unique and beautiful view for your wedding ceremony and wedding photos.
The location you choose will likely depend on the season you’re getting married, the timing of your ceremony, the view you want for the background and your wedding budget.
We’ve compiled all the info you need to choose your heli-wedding location here.
Can we get a breakdown of costs for our package quote?
We do not provide an itemised breakdown of costs for two key reasons:
– We are not at liberty to disclose the pricing of the other wedding suppliers that we work with, many of which offer us generous discounts that we can pass onto you as part of your package
– the cost for each individual item can depend on the package as a whole and what mix of elements are included
We can work with you on tweaking and changing your package quote until it’s the perfect mix for you.
When will our wedding photos and wedding video be ready?
You’ll receive a selection of sneak peek images from your wedding day within 72 hours of getting married! Your complete wedding gallery will be delivered online within 3 months of your wedding date.
If you book professional live streaming for your wedding ceremony the recorded version will be available to you within 48 hours. If a ceremony edit video is included in your package this will also be available within the same time period. Your final highlight wedding video will be complete within 3-4 months of your wedding date
