THE ROUTE

Two private landings: glacier and mountain top

The Gold Package delivers a private helicopter flight that includes two landings at locations you choose—commonly a glacier and an alpine summit—so you can exchange vows against dramatic Alaskan scenery.

THE MOMENT

Ceremony, champagne and professional imagery

A licensed officiant conducts the ceremony on site, followed by a celebratory champagne toast; an optional professional photographer captures 30 minutes of focused shooting and delivers a private online gallery of fully edited images.

THE TEAM

Owner‑piloted flight with day‑of support

The flight is piloted by the operator (owner Mark), and the package includes step‑by‑step day‑of timing and marriage paperwork support so the logistics of making it official are handled alongside the experience.

What the day feels like

What it feels like

Over two purposeful hours you board an owner‑piloted helicopter from Chickaloon and climb into open, high‑alpine views. The flight is tailored to your chosen landing sites; you touch down twice—commonly on a glacier and on a mountain ridge—where a licensed officiant leads the ceremony, the photographer (if chosen) works a dedicated 30‑minute session, and you mark the moment with a champagne toast. The package arrives with a clear, step‑by‑step timeline and the promise of a private online gallery of fully edited images afterward.
