A Helicopter for your Wedding?

We participated at the Wedding Fair at the Pendley Manor Hotel in Tring, Hertfordshire on Sunday April 26th, where we are a preferred supplier.  Many brides and grooms are looking for ways in which to make their special day even more special, and we were there suggesting ways in which a helicopter can do just that!  The next Wedding Fair at Pendley Manor is on Sunday October 25th when we expect to have our helicopter on display.

Rather than having the groom arrive in an Aston Martin or a Ferrari, why not come in by helicopter, with the Best Man alongside?  Once they've been dropped off, the helicopter can nip back off and pick up the bridesmaids or other members of the wedding party.  In 5 minutes, the helicopter can cover around 10 miles, so you don't need to restrict yourself to only one group per vehicle as you would with a car.

After the reception, what better way to start married life, than to fly off to your honeymoon hotel, or to the airport where your international flight is leaving from?  There are some great luxury hotels within 30 minutes flying time of Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire which is our home turf, where the car journey would be more like two hours.  Typically you can land in the grounds of most country hotels and spas, so it can be a door to door service.  Or look a bit further afield to the South West or the Lake District, which would take an hour to 90 minutes in our JetRanger?

Typical charters start at £895+VAT to fly up to four passengers into the wedding venue.  When a 6 minute firework display costs £1,000 or the rental of a Ferrari is £400, it looks like fair value.  After all, it's your big day!
