The date is set, the ring is perfect, and the dress is underway. Now, all that remains is finding the ideal venue to say ‘I do.’ Your wedding day is a reflection of your personal style, and choosing a helicopter wedding venue in Auckland will set an elegant tone for your celebration.
Once you have decided to add a layer of sophistication to your special day, selecting the right setting is crucial. As Auckland’s leading helicopter service, we’ve had the pleasure of flying couples to a variety of beautiful wedding venues across the region. Here, we’re highlighting three of our favourites, each offering a unique charm, with the hope that one may be the perfect fit for your celebration.
Castaways Resort – A Cliffside Paradise
Kariotahi Beach is known around Aotearoa as the site of the most beautiful sunset in the country. So, of course, when it comes to beautiful helicopter wedding venues in Auckland, we must begin our list here. If it’s golden hour you’re chasing for your big day, there is no better venue than this cliffside wedding spot. You and your partner will join hands overlooking an ocean that seems to stretch uninterrupted until the horizon, your friends and family looking on. The on-site restaurant is the perfect reception spot, offering high-quality food complemented by the stunning views and rural ambience of the location.
Nearby Waiuku offers a quiet, scenic town where you can retreat for a few days, or the Castaways Resort rooms all offer these views for as long as you prefer to stay. Make your own booking with the resort and arrange your helicopter arrival with our team, or book a package to curate the ultimate wedding day experience from moment one.
Mudbrick Vineyard & Cottage - Love and Libations
Mudbrick Vineyard is a well-loved yet hidden gem tucked into the hills of Waiheke Island. As one of the most beautiful helicopter wedding venues in Auckland, the vineyard is well-equipped with open plains for an outdoor wedding or an indoor area if you prefer an indoor ceremony. The reception can happen on-site, or you and your guests can board a fleet of waiting helicopters to be ferried to any of the many other stunning vineyards on Waiheke Island.
Not only is the Mudbrick Vineyard the perfect place to host a stunning (yet intimate) wedding with panoramic ocean views, but the on-site cottage is also the perfect spot to begin your honeymoon. The Mudbrick Luxury Cottage, nestled only 3 minutes away from Oneroa, is a stunning, private spot where you can enjoy the first days of your marriage. Sample a three-course dinner for two, enjoy premium wine tasting at the Cellar Door, and spend your days in intimate luxury at this well-appointed cottage.
Add a scenic city or volcanic loop in your private helicopter to round out the journey, or simply live out your first days together in splendid isolation.
The Glasshouse - An Intimate Wedding on the Peninsula
Our final entry for the top three helicopter wedding venues in Auckland must include the Glasshouse at Ara Roa. This is not your typical wedding venue, as it accommodates just seven people overnight. This is perfect for the wedding party. This is your own private peninsula tucked away from the world.
Picture it: contemporary sophistication, glass, steel, and timber equipped with a designer kitchen, wide open spaces, a deck built into the cliffs, and an outdoor fire for celebrations extending into the evening. This is a truly bespoke getaway in the heart of Northland. Arrange a private catering service to operate from the designer kitchen, or engage a private chef for the entirety of your stay. Host family for your first days together, or arrange a retinue of private helicopters to ferry your guests home when the celebrations come to an end, so that you can enjoy quiet time together. For those couples who value privacy, intimacy, and quiet luxury, this is the venue of choice.
This list does not encapsulate the full range of beautiful helicopter wedding venues in Auckland, but it is an excellent snapshot of what is on offer. Securing your dream wedding matters. It sets the tone for your married life, so make sure you begin with the perfect entrance.
