Scenic Lakeside Proposal with Luxury Helicopter from NYC

This engagement experience begins with a private helicopter flight from Manhattan to a semi private lakeside airport in Upstate New York, with a scenic 15-minute air tour of NYC on the way. Couples are offered complimentary champagne toast during their flight (minimum drinking age is 21) and a bouquet of roses and small box of chocolates for this special occasion. Upon arrival at the airstrip you may pop the question next to the helicopter, on the lake shore or in the shade of large, old trees. The grass runway end area can be closed off with advance notice to safely accommodate friends and family members. This package includes a professional engagement photographer who will fly with you (under a cover story) to document your entire proposal including the helicopter flight. The helicopter will wait one hour on the ground then fly you back to Manhattan.

Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the helicopter flight?

A: Yes, there is a minimum drinking age of 21 for the complimentary champagne. While younger guests can still join the flight, they won't be able to partake in the champagne toast. Just make sure to inform the provider in advance if you have kids or younger guests coming along!

Q: What's the best way to plan the surprise? How do I keep it a secret?

A: Planning the surprise can be tricky! I suggest casually mentioning a 'special date' without giving away any details. Maybe plan something leading up to the flight, like a nice dinner. You could also have a friend help coordinate the logistics, especially if you want them to be at the lakeside for the proposal. Just make sure to check the weather—if it gets too stormy, they’ll need to reschedule.

Q: How does the photo shoot work? Do we get to choose the spots?

A: The photographer will discuss your preferences after you arrive at the lakeside location. You can definitely choose spots by the helicopter or by the lake, and they usually have great suggestions too. You’ll get a mix of candid shots during the proposal and some posed ones afterward, which is super nice. Just make sure to let them know any specific shots you want!

Just did the Lakeside Proposal Experience and WOW!

I surprised my girlfriend with the Scenic Lakeside Proposal and it was the most magical day! The helicopter ride from NYC was breathtaking, especially the NYC tour before heading upstate. The champagne toast was fantastic, and the photographer captured every special moment beautifully. We proposed by the lake, and the roses were a lovely touch. Honestly, if you're planning to pop the question, I can't recommend this enough!

Considering this for my boyfriend's birthday – any tips?
