Helicopter Elopements
The Wedding Without the Wedding
Just the two of you. A mountaintop. A celebrant. A photographer. And the only "guest list" you'll ever need: each other.
Love Is Priceless. Weddings Are Expensive. A lot of couples dream of the perfect wedding. But somewhere between the seating chart, the third cake-tasting, and your cousin announcing his sudden gluten intolerance, the dream starts to feel like a logistics nightmare. So here's a different idea.
Take a helicopter. Take your person. Take a celebrant and a photographer. Fly to one of Queensland's most beautiful hinterland locations, a mountaintop, a private waterfall, a vineyard you'd want to walk down the aisle at, and get married. No 80 guests. No bridal showers. No mother-in-law's opinions on the napkin colour. Just you, the view, and the rest of your life.

Simple, serene, breathtaking. A single tree, a panoramic vista, and the kind of quiet you only find at altitude.

Hinterland icon. Award-winning gardens, mountain views, restaurant for the post-ceremony meal.
Maleny Manor
The Sunshine Coast's most-photographed wedding venue, and yours alone for the elopement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a helicopter elopement cost?
Pricing is custom based on location, photographer, celebrant, and add-ons. Contact us for a tailored quote — most elopement packages range from $1,220–$6,000+ including the helicopter, celebrant, photographer, and ceremony coordination.
Is the marriage legal?
Yes. We coordinate with licensed Australian celebrants. You'll need to give 1 month's Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) to the celebrant before the ceremony date.
How many people can come?
The classic Eternal Elopement is for two. We can accommodate a small group of immediate family or witnesses (up to 4 total passengers depending on the helicopter).
Where do you fly to for elopements?
Mountaintops, hinterland venues, private estates, waterfalls — Maleny Manor, Flaxton Gardens, Ocean View Estates, One Tree Hill, or a custom location personal to you both.
Do you provide the celebrant and photographer?
Yes. We coordinate both as part of the package. We work with a network of trusted celebrants and Sunshine Coast wedding photographers.
Can we elope and have a reception with family later?
Many couples do elope quietly, then throw a celebration when the pressure's off. We'll happily fly you back for sunset photos at the reception too.
