Wedding season is in full swing this year, as many couples head down the aisle in the next couple of months. And at West Palm Jet Charter, we’ve been receiving quite a few unique flight requests that are making these special events even more romantic.
As far as romantic gestures go, whisking your beloved off in a private jet is high altitude stuff. Whether getting engaged or getting married, everyone wants to feel like a VIP during this time in their life, and many couples are incorporating private aviation into their plans in order to inject some VIP glamour into their events.
And since private aviation is all about personal and customizable service, the sky is literally the limit when it comes to planning out the details of your big day.
Here are some examples of romantic wedding flights and our step-by-step countdown of creating the perfect, jetset wedding style:
STEP 1: The Proposal
Getting down on one knee is a big moment, and we have helped plenty of nervous grooms-to-be make their proposal extra-special that no one would say no to. For proposals, helicopters are a popular choice. We helped one client arrange a New Year’s Eve proposal on a helicopter while taking a sightseeing tour over Niagara Falls.
We’ve also had clients propose mid-flight, with names written in a heart on the grass below. Or for total privacy, what about popping the question in your own private jet cabin, or on a remote island, not accessible by commercial aircraft?
STEP 2: Bachelor & Bachelorette Parties
Whether it’s a VIP trip with the boys, or a pampering getaway with the girls, we’ve helped make some bachelor and bachelorette parties extra special.
Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties
Time is often tight when it involves getting a large group of people together, especially with time off already planned for the wedding itself. That’s where private jet travel really pays off – there’s no time wasted at the airport and you can set up your itinerary to suit your needs. We recently took a bachelor party to Las Vegas for a quick one day trip.
The group flew out early morning from Los Angeles, was in their hotel by 10am, and had time for lunch, sightseeing, a show, dinner, and going out before an early flight home the following morning.
STEP 3: A Private Airline For The Guests
Destination weddings are extremely popular, but getting all your guests to one spot can sometimes be tricky. At West Palm Jet Charter, we’ve taken the entire guest list cross-country or overseas for a wedding. The Caribbean is a popular choice, but we have also flown guests long-haul from the US to Europe and other global destinations. With a private aircraft, the cost per head can be close to the price of a commercial airline seat, but without the hassles and delays.
For the ultimate VIP statement, you can even brand the aircraft with your wedding colors, both inside and out. We once created personalized seat back covers, featuring the bride and grooms initials.
STEP 4: Jet Me To The Church On Time
A private jet or helicopter makes for the ultimate jetaway vehicle on the wedding day itself. The bride can arrive at the church by helicopter, with the newly married couple then flying off together, to transfer in style to their reception venue – many of which have helipads on site.
A departure from the venue by helicopter is a wonderful way to end the celebrations – whisking the couple to their hotel or onto a waiting private jet. Recently, we arranged one wedding departure flight after a beach wedding in Boston, and decorated the aircraft with ribbons, balloons and a “Just Married” sign.
STEP 5: The Ultra-Lux Honeymoon
For those looking to start married life in VIP style, a private flight can be incorporated into the honeymoon. The peace and privacy allows the newly married couple to unwind and celebrate in a cabin for two – while also avoiding hours stuck at the airport.
Die-hard romantics have been known to carry their new spouse up the aircraft steps. And the in-flight service can be totally personalized, with favorite music, wines and a specific dining menu available.
Jet Honeymoon
A minority of couples will splash out on a long-haul private flight and some larger private jets include a private bedroom and bathroom. Others choose a short-haul private jet honeymoon, rather than spending the same budget on a first class long-haul airline ticket.
Whether you take one or all of these elements, there’s no doubt that private aviation adds a high gloss finish to marriage celebrations. And it’s not just about luxury, but also about the time saved to make some of life’s most important travel moments as smooth and hassle-free as possible.
