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 and 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, in-flight video recording with a special camera set up to capture the moment you propose, a giant sign that is easily visible from the air and your own photoshoot on the ground with your helicopter and a beautiful view of the Melbourne city skyline in the background.

This is a unique proposal package that you can’t find anywhere else in Melbourne and is exclusive to Rotor One - Melbourne Helicopter Rides.

Proposal Banner

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 ❤️

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.

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 ensure the experience remains a complete surprise from the moment you arrive to the moment you propose.

❗ IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR FLIGHT

Where are you located?

Your flight will depart from Essendon Airport which is 20 minutes from Melbourne CBD by car. Your pickup point will either be Hangar 7 Wirraway Rd, Essendon Fields or the Essendon Passenger Terminal depending on your flight. Please refer to your booking confirmation email for your departure location. Both locations have off-street parking available.

When should I arrive?

Please arrive 10 minutes before your booking begins for a relaxed experience.

Can bad weather prevent us from flying?

Yes, adverse weather conditions such as low cloud, fog, heavy rain or high winds may require your flight to be delayed or rescheduled. If this is the case, your pilot will contact you at least 2 hours prior to your booking time to reschedule your flight. If your flight cannot go ahead due to bad weather and you wish to cancel, we'll provide a full refund minus any credit card processing fees we've paid on your behalf.

Google says there's will be bad weather on the day. Should I reschedule?

There's no need to contact us to reschedule based on a weather forecast as they're often inaccurate! We use live weather data on the day of your flight to determine if flights can be conducted safely.

Why do I need to provide my weight?

We use this to calculate the weight and balance of the helicopter prior to flight. If you have any guests weighing over 130kg or a group of 2 or 3 guests weigh more than 240kg combined, please contact us prior to booking.

What is the minimum age requirement for children?

Children aged 2 years or older can occupy their own seat. Our pilots will give them special attention to ensure they have an amazing time. All children will have their own window seat and pay the same seat price (we don't offer discounts for children as we make sure they have even more fun than the adults 😁)

Can I use my camera or phone during flight?

Yes, we encourage you to take as many photos and videos on the ground, and in the air, as possible.

What should I wear?

Please bring a pair of sunglasses and you're welcome to wear clothing appropriate to the weather. We do recommend a wind-breaker jacket on cooler or windy days to keep your warm.

Can I bring any luggage?

Light handbags and small backpacks weighing less than 5kg can be carried. For any larger items please contact us prior to your flight.

Can I fly if I'm pregnant?

Yes, and we recommend flying prior to your third trimester.

Can I fly if I'm in a wheelchair?

Yes, our hangar is wheelchair-accessible and we warmly welcome passengers with special needs, as long as a carer accompanies them on their flight. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Do you provide a wheelchair for disabled passengers?

We partner with Fisher Lane Mobility in Melbourne, which provides wheelchair rental as well as delivery and pickup services from our hangar. Wheelchairs can only be carried in larger aircraft suitable for 4 or more passengers as they include a cargo hold. Please contact FLM to confirm availability of a suitable wheelchair for your planned date of travel.

What happens if there's bad weather on the day of my flight?

  • We really want you to enjoy your experience, so we only fly when the weather allows a safe and comfortable flight.

    An exhilarating one hour experience

    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!
