Home Heli Proposal · Queenstown & Wanaka
A decade of love and yeses. For more than 10 years, Eloping Weddings has helped couples mark life's biggest moments with a heli proposal, the most dramatic way to ask; and every one we plan is thoughtfully designed, calmly run, and beautifully remembered.

A proposal nothing short of magical.

Looking to propose in Queenstown? Our heli proposal package makes sure the moment is unforgettable. We handle every detail for a smooth, stress-free experience, giving you more time to be present with the person you love. Whether you want a breathtaking mountain peak, a lakeside spot, or a secluded place reachable only by helicopter, we have it covered.

Our professional team takes care of everything, from arranging the perfect location to capturing the proposal on photo and video, organising flowers, food, and fine dining. We even arrange the helicopter flight to a stunning mountain peak for a dramatic, romantic moment. Picture proposing with Queenstown's snow-capped mountains and lakes as your backdrop, every precious second captured beautifully.

Queenstown Story Detail

Three ways to ask from above.

Every detail handled discreetly.

A few quiet reasons couples trust us with the most important question of their lives.

01

Planned in Secret

We enquire discreetly and arrange everything behind the scenes, so the surprise stays a surprise right up to the moment.

02

The Moment Captured

A professional photographer and videographer document the proposal beautifully, with edited footage, drone shots, a soundtrack, and the real audio of your question.

03

Peaks Few Can Reach

The helicopter opens up mountain peaks and secluded spots, including Earnslaw Burn, that almost no one else can offer.

04

Flowers, Food and Fine Dining

We organise florals, a picnic platter, celebratory bubbles, and a fine dining experience to turn the moment into a whole occasion.

05

Fully Customisable

Every package can be tailored and personalised, so you can shape the experience around your own love story.

06

Completely Stress-Free

We take care of everything from start to finish, giving you more time to simply enjoy the moment with your loved one.

Choose your landing

We draft a bespoke sketch with lakeside, mountain peak, and Earnslaw Burn options, plus a photographer whose work makes you feel something.

We handle every detail

Helicopter, location, florals, picnic, bubbles, fine dining, photography, the surprise. Every thread carried so nothing gives the secret away.

The moment unfolds

You ask the question, they say yes, and the whole thing is captured from the air to relive for the rest of your lives.
