Let's face it: a marriage proposal should be memorable. A moment your future fiancé will never forget - and neither will you, for that matter. So why not take it literally next level? Think: you, your beloved, a shiny helicopter, and love taking to the skies. Literally.
But before you try to get down on one knee in the air (spoiler: you can't), read on. Because we at 123helicopterflights.co.uk know exactly how to make your proposal a flying success - without turbulence.
The best place for your romantic helicopter proposal? That's our location in Hilversum. From here, you will take a beautiful local sightseeing flight together for at least 30 minutes. Think impressive views, beating hearts and a GoPro with suction cup capturing everything (yes, you can just take that with you!).
We get it: it sounds like a Hollywood movie. Floating in the air, whispering "Will you marry me?" through your headset, while below the world lies at your feet. And yes, you can. You can hear each other just fine through the headsets - only it's worth noting that audio is not recorded. So the legendary phrase "Will you marry me?" stays between you (and the pilot, coincidentally).
But... getting down on your knees? Unfortunately, you can't. Safety first: you stay strapped in your seat.
Want to go really big? Then a proposal on the ground is the best choice. How does it work? First take to the skies together for an unforgettable helicopter flight. Then we land, engine off (yes, really completely off), and it's your moment. You and your fiancee, together in front of the helicopter, with love in the air and on the ground.
A photographer can capture you there - because in the helicopter itself, unfortunately, no one is allowed to take extra. GoPro's are, no worries. Balloons, lights or a red carpet are a no-go (we like to keep the skies clean), but you do have an iconic backdrop and the perfect moment to shine.
Sharing your proposal with your loved ones? They can come along! Well, not in the helicopter, but close by. Twenty metres away behind a fence with a picnic table, they can witness the take-off, landing and the big moment just fine. Think applause, moments of cheering and a few proud tears at a safe distance.
Because we will really turn off the engine for your proposal (and we only do that on the last flight of the day), it is important to be flexible with your schedule. You will hear the exact time on the day between 9:00 and 10:00. After that, the fun can really begin.
As soon as you book your flight through our website, please indicate at checkout that it's a proposal. Then we'll plan everything carefully so that your moment is perfect - without any airbrushing. More wishes? Then check out the options of helicopter rental.
A helicopter proposal is exciting, unique and unforgettable - with or without a knee-jerk reaction at 300 metres. You provide the ring, we take care of the rest.
Ready to hear 'yes' above the clouds?
Yes, you can! Just keep in mind that you are strapped in a seatbelt, so going on your knees is unfortunately not possible. Champagne or other attributes are also not allowed on board. For the most romantic and photogenic moment, we recommend doing the proposal on the ground, after the flight.
Sure! Family and friends can watch the take-off, landing and, of course, the big moment behind a fence at Hilversum, 20 metres away. There is even a picnic table at the ready. Please note: they cannot join you in the helicopter.
While booking your flight via the Hilversum page, you can indicate at checkout that it is for a proposal. That way, we'll make sure you get the last flight of the day, with engine off and all the focus on the moment.
