FAQs

Is it safe?

Yes — helicopter elopements are very safe! We only work with licensed, highly experienced local pilots who are familiar with the terrain and mountain weather patterns. Flights are never operated in unsafe conditions, and each trip includes a detailed safety briefing before takeoff. Your well-being is always the top priority, and the pilots make judgment calls based on visibility, wind, and weather to ensure a smooth, secure experience.

Can we bring guests?

Yes — but space is limited. Most helicopters can seat 4–6 passengers total, including you, your photographer, and officiant. Some couples choose to bring only their photographer and officiant for a truly private experience, while others bring one or two close guests. If you’d like more guests, some companies offer multiple flights to shuttle people.

Where do we land and how long to we get to stay there?

Landing sites are carefully chosen for their beauty and seclusion — remote ridges, alpine meadows, or lakeshores that you can’t reach on foot. Once you land, you’ll usually have 60–120 minutes on the ground for your ceremony, photos, and soaking in the views.

What time of year is the best time of year for a helicopter elopement in Banff?

Helicopter elopements in Banff are possible year-round, and each season brings a different atmosphere. Summer offers warm weather, wildflowers, and long days, while fall brings golden larches and crisp air. Winter transforms the Rockies into a snowy wonderland with frozen lakes, and spring is full of dramatic contrasts as the snow melts into rushing waterfalls. The best time really depends on the scenery and mood you want for your day.

How long is the flight?

Most helicopter flights are 20–45 minutes of air time (round-trip), depending on the package and landing site.

What should we wear?

Mountain weather can be cooler and windier at higher elevations. Flowy dresses and tailored suits look beautiful, but it’s smart to bring warm layers, sturdy shoes for rocky terrain, and accessories like wraps or shawls. In winter, add gloves and extra warmth, while in summer, don’t forget sunscreen and sunglasses. The key is to feel comfortable, safe, and ready for adventure while still looking like yourselves.
