Tips & Advice
Marriage License is Required
-
You must obtain a valid State of Alaska marriage license before your elopement and bring it with you on the day of your ceremony. Without it, the wedding cannot be legally performed.
Plan for Extra Guests (Including Vendors)
-
Anyone flying with you—family, friends, photographers, videographers, or officiants—must be included in your reservation so we can plan aircraft capacity correctly.
Dress Smart for the Glacier
-
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes or boots (heels don’t mix well with ice!).
-
Layer up—glacier weather can shift quickly from sunny to windy.
-
Bring a jacket or wrap, even if you’re wearing formal attire.
Weather Flexibility
-
Helicopter flights are weather dependent. Be prepared for potential time adjustments, delays, or rescheduling based on safe flying conditions.
Hair & Makeup Prep
-
Expect some wind! Choose secure hairstyles and consider bringing touch-up makeup for photos.
Photography & Videography
-
Confirm that your photographer or videographer is comfortable shooting on ice and in helicopter-access locations. Light gear is best.
Ceremony Style
-
You are welcome to bring your own officiant or special guests—just make sure they’re included in your booking.
-
Personal vows, ring exchanges, and small meaningful touches make the glacier setting truly unforgettable.

If conditions are unsafe, we’ll work with you to adjust timing, delay, or reschedule your wedding based on available options.
Most helicopter wedding packages last 2–3 hours, including check-in, flight time, glacier landings, and your ceremony and photos.
Absolutely. Personal vows, ring exchanges, and small, secure items (like a compact bouquet) are encouraged. Just avoid large or loose decorative items.
