The Ledge — Cecil Peak Heli Wedding

A dramatic shelf high above Lake Wakatipu, reached by a ten-minute flight — one of Queenstown's most iconic heli landings.

Queenstown’s iconic mountain shelf

The Ledge is exactly what people picture when they imagine a Queenstown heli-wedding: a dramatic shelf high on Cecil Peak, with Lake Wakatipu shimmering far below and the Remarkables on the horizon. The flight takes only about ten minutes, and the pilot lands and waits, so the mountain is entirely yours.

Everything is included — the flight, your celebrant, hair, makeup, flowers and extended photography — and I plan every detail personally.

Prices are indicative and confirmed with your personal proposal.

Frequently asked questions

What does the package cost?

The Ledge package starts from NZ$8,500 and includes everything listed — flight, celebrant, licence guidance, hair and makeup, bouquet and up to three hours of photography. Your personal proposal confirms the exact figure for your date.

How high is The Ledge?

The Ledge sits high on Cecil Peak, directly across Lake Wakatipu from Queenstown — a short, spectacular flight with the whole lake and the Remarkables laid out beneath you.

Is a helicopter wedding safe?

Yes. I work only with CAA-certified operators and hugely experienced alpine pilots, and every flight carries full insurance. The pilot always has the final say on the day — if conditions aren’t right to fly safely, we simply move to a beautiful alternative rather than take any risk. Your safety comes first, always.

With love, from New Zealand
