Let's face it: a marriage proposal should be memorable. A moment your future fiancé(e) will never forget – and neither will you, for that matter. So why not literally take it to the next level? Think: you, your loved one, a gleaming 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 123helikoptervluchten.nl 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 film. Floating in the air, whispering "Will you marry me?" through your headset, with the world at your feet below. And yes, you can. You can hear each other perfectly well through the headsets – just bear in mind that the audio is not recorded. So that legendary line "Will you marry me?" stays between the two of you (and, as it happens, the pilot).
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 partner-to-be, together in front of the helicopter, with love in the air and on the ground.
A photographer can capture the moment there – because, unfortunately, no extra people are allowed in the helicopter itself. GoPros are fine, though, no worries. Balloons, fairy lights or a red carpet are a no-go (we like to keep the airspace tidy), 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.
When you book your flight on our website, just indicate at checkout that it is for a proposal. We will then plan everything carefully so your moment goes perfectly – no hot air.
A helicopter proposal is exciting, unique and unforgettable – with or without going down on one knee at 300 metres. You bring the ring, we take care of the rest.
Ready to hear 'yes' above the clouds?
Yes, you can! Just bear in mind that you are strapped in with a seatbelt, so going down on one knee is unfortunately not possible. Champagne and other props are also not allowed on board. For the most romantic and photogenic moment, we recommend proposing 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.
