Helicopter Proposal with Giant Marry Me Sign

The best proposal idea in Melbourne — A romantic helicopter ride with a giant Marry Me 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 ❤️

2) A giant "Will You Marry Me?" sign visible from the air

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 proposal experience

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.

25 Minute Photoshoot with a Professional Photographer to capture your special moment with the helicopter

We partner with TwinLeaf Weddings, a professional wedding and engagement photography company in Melbourne to capture your special moment on camera. They specialise in proposal photos and have experience shooting newly-engaged couples at our hangar, with the helicopter and city skyline in view.

They'll direct your photoshoot to capture all the best angles in front of the helicopter in a private 25 minute photoshoot for you and your partner-to-be after you've landed.

Afterwards, they'll carefully select the best shots from your special day, enhance them using their post-production process and share them in your very own online digital album ready... The perfect way to capture the first day of the rest of your lives.

Video shoot with a Professional Videographer to capture your proposal experience from start to finish

We're proud to work with Danny Ronin, a professional videographer in Melbourne who specialises in immersive, short-form videos that perfectly capture the magic of your proposal.

Danny will be with you every step of the way recording the entire experience from the moment you board the helicopter, to flying you over Melbourne for that unforgettable moment when your partner sees the giant "Will You Marry Me?" sign and you pop the question.

After your flight, he'll craft a stunning, cinematic-style video ready to share on social media, allowing you to relive and share your special moment with friends and family close by, or far away.

Note: To have Danny fly in the helicopter with you and record you both in-flight, the combined weight of you and your partner must be below 180kg for safety reasons. If this is a problem, let us know and we can always upgrade you to a larger helicopter at an additional cost.
