Overview - Helicopter Proposal Package in Melbourne with a Giant "Will You Marry Me?" Sign
Make the ultimate statement with a mid-air helicopter proposal, including a romantic helicopter flight over Melbourne with a 30-metre-long giant “Will You Marry Me?” sign laid out along the coast for your partner to see from the helicopter.
This is the most unique and romantic proposal package in Melbourne and is an act that your partner would never even believe is possible... until she’s sitting in the helicopter, staring down at your giant “Will You Marry Me?” and looking over to you with a ring in your hand.
This proposal package includes an extended scenic helicopter ride, a giant sign that is easily visible from the air, and an in-flight video recording with a special camera setup to capture the moment you propose.
You can also choose to add a professional photoshoot with the helicopter to capture photos of you both as a newly-engaged coupe, and even include a private landing at Jack Rabbit, one of the most spectacular wineries outside Melbourne, for a celebratory lunch with view of the Melbourne city skyline in the background.
This is a unique proposal package that you can’t find anywhere else and is exclusive to Rotor One.
The Best Proposal Idea — A romantic helicopter ride with a unique 30 metre long banner visible from the air
You’ve been together with your partner for a long time and now you want to ask them to marry you! Taking this big next step can be nerve-wracking and you want to make this experience as memorable as you can. A moment and a memory that is so special that you will one day share the story with your kids. A proposal idea that involves the two of you, a helicopter and a giant sign is guaranteed to leave your partner speechless.
How does your surprise proposal flight begin?
You arrive at our hangar with your soon-to-be fiancé, for what they think is just a surprise helicopter ride around Melbourne. Upon arrival you’ll be greeted by one of our pilots who’ll walk through your flight path around the city and down the coast, followed by a short safety briefing before taking off on your scenic helicopter tour around Melbourne.
You’ll both enjoy spectacular views of Melbourne’s popular landmarks and tourist attractions including the MCG, Royal Botanic Gardens, Albert Park, St Kilda, Luna Park, the Brighton Beach Boxes and the MCG.
When is the best moment to propose?
As you fly down the coast you'll receive the first secret radio call from the pilot letting you know you’re about 5 minutes away from the giant sign and your big moment. This will give you some time to calm your nerves and remember that romantic speech you’ve prepared to propose to your partner.
Your pilot will then share the second secret radio call as you approach the location of the giant sign, approximately 1 minute away. This will then be followed by a third and final secret radio call, when your helicopter is just about to pass overhead the giant sign, allowing you to ask your soon-to-be fiancé to look out the window.
It’s at this point that they’ll see a giant “Will You Marry Me?” sign laid out on the ground and will suddenly turn to you, gasping and in complete shock, only to see you smiling and holding a ring in your hand…
After Your Partner Says "YES"!
Your helicopter will orbit overhead so your partner has time to take a photo or video of the giant sign that’s been laid out just for them. Your helicopter flight will then continue past the city with panoramic views of the city skyline, giving the perfect opportunity to take a photo of their gorgeous ring with the city in the background.
We understand that you might be nervous when organising your wedding proposal because you want to ensure every little detail is taken care of to perfection. Our team will help you coordinate the entire process from the moment you walk into the hangar, to the moment you leave engaged, so all you have to do is remember what you want to say when your perfect moment to propose arrives.
Your engagement proposal is a unique memory that you will carry for a lifetime which is why we’ve designed the ultimate proposal idea in Melbourne, just for you ❤️
What's included in your Helicopter Proposal Package?
1) A 30 minute Scenic Helicopter Flight
Experience an extended scenic helicopter tour around Melbourne’s CBD and Coast. You will enjoy spectacular aerial views of Melbourne from the air as you fly over famous landmarks and tourist attractions including:
- Melbourne CBD including Flinders St Station
- Rod Laver Arena
- Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG)
- Eureka Skydeck
- Royal Botanic Gardens
- F1 Circuit at Albert Park
- St Kilda Pier
- Luna Park
- F1 Circuit at Albert Park
2) A custom 30 metre long giant "Will You Marry Me?" sign visible from the helicopter
Our team will set up your giant 30-metre-long sign in a special location along Melbourne’s coastline before the flight that will read “Will You Marry Me?” and is clearly visible from the helicopter. Your pilot will orbit over the sign so you have plenty of time to grab a photo or video of this bold and romantic gesture after you've popped the question.
3) In-flight video recording of your entire helicopter ride
Our helicopter is fitted with a HD video camera that records your full flight experience. Our video cameras are also connected to the headset audio system in the helicopter allowing us to capture crystal-clear sound despite all the background noise while flying. Our cameras will be specially set up to capture the moment you propose to keep both of you (including the ring) in the frame at all times. This will be a video you treasure for the rest of your lives.
4) Secret radio calls from your pilot
Your pilot will announce a number of secret radio calls during your flight that will let you know how far away from the proposal spot you are, to calm those nerves and give you time to prepare. Your pilot will ensure the experience remains a complete surprise from the moment you arrive to the moment you propose.

I had planned to propose my girlfriend and came across this ultimate idea of proposing with a banner in a helicopter. I must say it was one of the best ones for both my gf and I as it was also our first ride in a helicopter. The team made sure we have an amazing time and also coordinated with me for the proposal. The whole experience Was surreal. The view, narration about the views , the banner everything was superb. My girlfriend said yes btw incase you were wondering… Thank you for this exhilarating experience Rotor one!

What an amazing experience!! 🚁💯‼️ 🤯 Had the privilege of flying over Sydney 🇦🇺 👀🤙🏽 What a view from up so high. Thanks Rotor One and team for making the experience so exciting and being so accommodating on this trip! Will definitely be looking you up again when I’m in Melbourne for another amazing flight over a different city 🏙!! 😉🤯🚁💯‼️
Amazing experience. I flew my wife and daughter family around Sydney Harbour on a helicopter ride. I felt safe and comfortable in the air conditioned chopper. There was a short safety briefing at the start, and the highlight was definitely seeing Sydney from above.
It was a really great experience for both of us. Big thanks to Rotor One and Ed for making it one of the best memories of our lifetime.
