Balloon Weddings
Your
wedding day starts early, soon after sunrise. After we've all met, we'll
depart for the days launch location where we'll assemble and inflate the
balloon. Once inflated, it will be just minutes before we lift off.
We'll climb slowly for the first several minutes of the flight to give you time to "soak up" the views and get accustomed to the flight. Once we've reached our "cruising altitude", we'll perform our non-denominational wedding service which usually takes less than five minutes. If you'd prefer to write your own vows, please feel free to do so. Your vows can be recited in any language you'd like, they don't have to be in English.
Once the ceremony is completed, the mood typically lightens up (no more wedding jitters) and you'll have the rest of the flight to enjoy the scenery, ask questions and enjoy yourselves.
After about an hour in the air, we'll find a place to land, deflate and pack up the balloon. While we're doing this, you'll be sipping champagne or sparkling cider. Once the balloon is packed away, we'll drive back to our meeting location for a celebratory toast and signing of the marriage certificate.
