Helicopter Elopements: Get Married Where No One Else Can
When the noise of tradition falls away, all that’s left is the view — and the person you’ve chosen to spend your life with.
A helicopter elopement is about more than just getting to the top of a mountain.
It’s about starting there.
You lift off.
The city fades.
The air gets quieter. The light changes. The nerves settle into something softer.
And then it’s just you, your person, and the view.
No cell service. No pressure. Just yes.
Whether you say your vows on a snow-capped ridge or beside a glacier-fed lake, this is the kind of moment you’ll never have to explain — because it already feels exactly right.

Important Information
Weight Restrictions: The maximum weight per seat is 300lbs, fully dressed. If you plan to wear boots, a big coat, or heavy wedding attire, please consider this when reporting your weight. It is important to accurately report your weight. Pilots use this weight information to ensure the helicopter is properly balanced so we can fly safely. We will collect your weight ahead of time, and SKY Helicopters will also conduct a pre-flight weigh-in on the day of your elopement, for everyone’s safety. If you or your partners weight is 10lbs more than previously stated, there may be an additional charge. If the weight capacity of the helicopter is exceeded at weigh in, this could result in not flying or additional charges for an extra helicopter to accommodate.
Pregnancy: You are welcome to fly if you are pregnant unless your doctor has advised against it. If you are nearing your due date or have other health risks, please speak with your doctor/health care provider.
Witnesses: Your pilot and photographer will be your witnesses. You are also welcome to bring your own witnesses. Please select additional guests in the contact form to do this. Guests will also need to meet the weight restriction and report their weight ahead of time. They are also subject to additional fees as per the rules above.
Bring the whole crew (even the furry ones): Kids and pets are always welcome. This is your day — and your people (or pups) should be there if you want them to be.
Landing Location: We have a variety of landing spots in the mountains around Widgeon Lake, including mountain peaks, alpine lakeshores and glacier-fed streambeds. The pilot selects the landing spot on the day of the flight based on the weather conditions.
Weather: Due to inclement weather, the helicopter pilot may need to change the elopement destination or postpone the elopement to a later date. We will be in communication with your pilot and will touch base with you the morning of your elopement if there are any changes you need to be aware of. You may not be able to do a peak landing, but often you can do a secret lake or creek-bed landing. So don’t let a little rain scare you! If the weather is completely un-flyable, you may re-book your helicopter elopement for another date. If the weather is completely un-flyable and you do not wish to re-book for another day, you also have the option of having your elopement that day on the ground at another location. If you choose this option, only the cost of the helicopter portion will be refunded to you.
Availability: This package is available Monday-Thursday all year long!
Attire: In the summer months there may still be snow, so we don’t suggest heels. Closed-toe options with good tread would be best. In the summer, jackets are not generally required, however the winter is COLD so jackets and boots are a definite must! You can always remove your jackets for pictures. Please feel free to bring your attire with you and get changed at the SKY Hanger before your departure.
Legalization: Couples are to purchase and provide their own marriage license if legal marriage is desired
