Weddings

Your Wedding Day is one of the most important and special days of your life. By chartering one of our helicopters, you could arrive at your ceremony or reception by air in true VIP style. Just imagine the look on your friends and families faces as you appear.

Gold Coast Helicopters provide solutions for weddings. We can supply deluxe transport, whether it’s for the Bride and Groom, Best Man and Groom, Bride and Father, or the Bridesmaids, you decide, it’s your day. We can even provide pleasure flights for your guests, should you require.


Our most popular helicopter for Wedding Charters is the Bell 407, please click the link for a photo. www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=5905706 . This helicopter seats up to 6 passengers and flies you in total luxury, featuring leather interior and aircon with a cruising speed of approximately 200kmh. As a cheaper option, we also have the smaller but just as versatile Robinson 44 helicopter. Seating configuration (seats 3) allows enough room for the happy couple plus photographer, or bride / brides’ father etc

 
We will arrive at the chosen venue and shut down the Helicopter’s engine and stop the rotor blades in plenty of time to prepare for you to have your photographer get a series of pictures around the aircraft prior to your departure. If you want you can arrange for more photographs on arrival at your destination, where we will again stop the aircraft for this purpose.
Most Wedding flights we undertake are short hops between two venues, however with a 30 minute minimum charge applied for the hire of the helicopter you will undoubtedly want to receive value for money and therefore we will invite you to utilise any excess flight time to have a look around the local area prior to arrival at your final destination. We will work out in advance for you the balance of flight time available and advise you of this along with points of interest that you may like to over-fly. Please do however note that the 30 minute minimum does include the positioning legs to and from our Coolangatta base airfield.

 
We will provide all of the above incorporating a 30 minute flight time (including positioning) at a fixed rate. Any landing fees charged at any of the landing sites utilised will be additional costs. It is well worth establishing the cost of any landing fees in advance. We find that it is often better if the client approaches the venue to gain permission for landing, as they will often waive any fees they may normally charge, whereas if approached by the Helicopter operator, fees will normally be applied. Once you have initial landing permission Gold Coast Helicopters will take over from you and finalise the arrangements. We will have to ensure that the landing site is suitable and meets Civil Aviation Authority requirements. If not then we will endeavour to find an alternative for you and any expenses incurred in this respect would be charged additionally. Our terms are that a 25% deposit will secure the booking with the balance due 7 days before the date of the flight. We do recommend that you have a ‘Back Up Plan’ for transport just in case we are unable to fly due to inclement weather conditions. In this event you would receive a full refund of all monies paid.

Bell 407 Turbine Helicopter 6 seater - $1650.00 per hour, minimum charge 30 minutes
