Summit Seeker Heli Elopement Packages

Roam the skies

Let us take care of it all

Take to the skies with one of our heli elopement packages if you’re wanting to take the stress out of organising your day. Our couples love our all-inclusive elopement packages Lisa and Andy will be your guides, and being based in Wanaka, we have a few locations within our backyard that provide an epic backdrop for any elopement.

We’ve taken into account everything you need to get married via helicopter. Simple. You choose a date (along with a following backup weather date because that’s how we roll!), choose a landing location, get yourselves dressed up and we’ll do the rest. We’ll take care of your celebrant, photography, make-up, hair, flowers, champagne and helicopter flight.

Our Process

Lock in your date

We’ll plan your elopement with both a primary and backup date so you’re covered in the event of bad weather. We’ll also provide local guidance on what to expect at that time of year in terms of climate and scenery.

Choose your location

Our heli elopements mostly depart from Wanaka, but we also serve Queenstown, Tekapo and Mt Cook. From single landings to multi-landings. See what locations tick the box for you. We’ll provide pricing upon enquiry below.

Sit back and relax

That’s what we’re here for! We’ll book everything in, introduce you to your vendors and create a run sheet for your day. All you need to do is decide what you’re wearing, where to stay, and to find your way to Wanaka.

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Andy who photographed our elopement. he was calm, down to earth and made us feel totally comfortable when we are not very natural”

Our Summit Seeker Heli Elopements include:

Photography

Coverage of your elopement day with Andy, from getting ready, a first look / reveal if you choose, your ceremony, and adventure location session to follow. Andy will be your guide and hype guy for your day.

Planning

This is where Lisa steps in. She’s the master of sourcing and booking all of your vendors, and assisting with your timeline creation for the day. When the back up day mentioned above is activated with bad weather, we will organise and reschedule all of the vendors for you. Easy.

Epic location

We’ll include the helicopter location of your dreams. Landing time is set to 90 mins, which allows plenty of space to enjoy your ceremony, create some photos, and soak it all in. Most of our elopements depart from Wanaka, however we also cater to Queenstown, Mt Cook or Tekapo.

NZ Registered celebrant

We have some local legends we work with. Each with their own flavour and personality to bring to your ceremony. They will guide you through the steps of what needs to be prepared, your marriage license as well as design your celebration to be as simple, or tailored as you like.

Hybrid Video (optional)

One of our strengths is to be able to offer both photo and video as a hybrid service. This means Andy shoots both on your day, meaning less camera presence, and resulting in an epic highlight film, edited to licensed music.

Hair & Make up

We work with some of the South Island’s best hair and make up artists. Sit back and enjoy the preparation. They will come to your accommodation and get you looking your best for your elopement day.

Flowers

Flowers add such a great vibe to your day, and our florist is a bit of a magician. We’ll work with you to have the bridal bouquet and matching boutonniere you’ve dreamed of, all crafted from seasonal availability.

Back up day

We all know what the weather is like in the alps, unpredictable. Make sure you book a couple of extra nights in Wānaka as with all of our packages, you get the following day backed up date and reserved in the case of bad weather.

Your Elopement

With hybrid video

Optionally, we can offer hybrid photo + video to create a highlight film of your Adventure Elopement. This is Andy shooting both photos and video clips throughout your day, keeping the camera presence down, while delivering everything your moments in motion, curated and edited to licensed music.
