Hold your ultimate Wanaka wedding ceremony by the picturesque Lochnagar. This remote alpine lake or ‘loch’ is reached by helicopter and surrounded by mountains at the head of the Shotover Valley. Experience the bliss of solitude as your helicopter shuts down and you stand by your partner at the lakes edge.
On a calm day the crystal clear water reflects the peaks and fleeting clouds. In winter the location transforms into a winter wonderland with snow on the ‘beach’ and the lake freezing over!
We love the privacy of this very protected and remote location.
Your Wanaka wedding charter flight allows up to 1hr at Lochnagar for your ceremony and / or photos, giving you plenty of time to create memories to cherish for a lifetime
If you are looking for a variety of backdrops for your ceremony and photos combine a landing here with a second landing somewhere different like Coromandel Peak or contact us for options.

All our flights are weather dependent. Weather calls are made based on both safety and customer experience.
We are generally only unable to fly if clouds hinder visibility or if winds are gale force.
To compensate for weather having a possible affect on flights we have the following policies:
If weather completely prevents us from flying at all on the day and we make the decision not to proceed at all there is no charge. (We are happy to reschedule to another day subject to availability if you wish)
If weather prevents us from getting to your desired location but we are able to offer an alternative option for your landing we will. Charges will reflect the alternate landing cost and these can be discussed at the time.
If you have chosen a dual landing option and we are able to get you to one of your landing options but not the other your cost will be adjusted accordingly to reflect the cost of the single landing.
We recommend you have your photographer call us to check on the weather on the day and we will have the discussion with them if there are any weather constraints.
Should we still be able to fly but you choose not to proceed there will be a $500 cancellation fee.
