Helicopter Engagement Experience from NYC to Glenmere Mansion

This experience begins with a private helicopter flight from Manhattan to Glenmere Mansion, with a scenic air tour of NYC and the Hudson Valley on the way. Helicopters land in front of the mansion during daylight hours. Upon arrival at the mansion you will be greeted by a butler and escorted to your lunch table. A 3-course lunch is prepared from fresh, locally sourced, farm-to-table ingredients and accompanied by champagne toast. The experienced staff at Glenmere will set the perfect milieu for an unforgettable proposal at this romantic lakeside estate. Roam the manicured gardens to find the perfectly secluded spot for your proposal and have it all captured by a professional photographer. Couples are offered a bouquet of roses and small box of chocolates for this special occasion. Relax in your newly engaged bliss during a soothing 60-minute massage at Glenmere Spa (if option selected). All package options include a private helicopter flight back to Manhattan on the same day.

Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for this engagement experience? Can kids come along?

A: Generally, this experience is designed for couples only, so kids are not included. If you're planning to propose, it might be best to keep it intimate! The helicopter has a minimum age for passengers, but it's usually around 12 years. Definitely check with Wings Air for any specific policies.

Q: What happens if the weather is bad on the day of the flight?

A: If the weather is not suitable for flying, Wings Air will reschedule your flight. They keep a close eye on conditions leading up to your flight, so you won't be left in the dark. Just be sure to check their cancellation policy when booking!

Q: What should we wear for the helicopter ride and lunch at Glenmere Mansion?

A: Smart casual is definitely the way to go! You want to be comfortable in the helicopter, but also look nice for lunch at the mansion. Think stylish yet relaxed—maybe dressy jeans or a nice dress. It can get a bit chilly up in the air, so a light jacket might be good too!

Just booked the Helicopter Engagement Experience—so excited!

Hey everyone! I just booked the helicopter engagement experience from NYC to Glenmere Mansion for my partner's birthday. Can’t believe it's really happening! The lunch sounds incredible, and I love that they include a photographer. Just wondering if anyone has tips for the proposal part—any secret spots in the gardens? I want it to be perfect!

Anyone else nervous about their helicopter ride?

So, I’m considering this experience for my boyfriend’s birthday, but I have this weird fear of flying. I want to surprise him, but I'm a little hesitant about the helicopter ride. Should I be worried? What if I freak out up there?
