Heli-Weddings Queenstown

Have you ever dreamed of saying 'I do' on a snow-capped mountain in a place so pure, it seems to resonate love? Where it feels like no one has walked but you?

As one of Queenstown’s original heli wedding venues, Stoneridge Estate can take you to the most incredible destinations where few have ever stood before. We can arrange that magical moment, exchanging vows on the tip of a glacial peak, looking out across a mystical world of pristine white as the sun sinks slowly over the Southern Alps.

From wild forests to secluded alpine lakes, untouched pebble beaches to thundering waterfalls, we can venture to the most remote locations only accessible by helicopter for the adventure of a lifetime.

A Queenstown Mountaintop Wedding

Fly those closest to you out to witness your vows, or opt for an intimate heli elopement in Queenstown for just the two of you.

Afterwards, return to Stoneridge Estate and relax under the stars in the hot tub, sipping champagne while our chef prepares a five-course private degustation to celebrate the beginning of the rest of your life together.

Your heli-wedding can be tailored to suit you, and is limited only by your imagination.

Casey and Jackie
I cannot recommend this place enough! We organised our heliwedding through Stoneridge and stayed in the Cottage for three nights. The wedding was planned perfectly and in record time. It would have taken me years to plan such a beautiful wedding on my own. On our wedding night we enjoyed the five course Trust the Chef menu, and each course was superb.
The estate itself is beautiful, and the views of Lake Hayes and the mountains from our room were breathtaking. The decor is beautiful, with impressive metalwork and great attention to detail. We were spoiled with wine, cheese and a delicious breakfast every morning. Everyone there is delightful and went above and beyond to make our stay special.
