Make an Unforgettable Entrance

What an experience! I had the incredible opportunity to step inside one of the stylish helicopters from Great Lakes Helicopter – and let me tell you, it was every bit as exciting as it looks. Not only did I get a firsthand feel for this unique wedding trend, but I also had the pleasure of interviewing an amazing lady – Tanisha Stringer, Marketing Manager for Great Lakes Helicopter, who is redefining what it means to soar into your special day in style.

Weddings today are all about personalization, creativity, and creating memorable moments. If you’re looking for unique wedding ideas that go beyond the ordinary, why not elevate your big day – literally?

Instead of a traditional entrance, imagine arriving in a helicopter, making a grand statement that leaves your guests absolutely speechless. Whether you’re planning a large celebration or a private elopement, this once-in-a-lifetime experience is sure to make your wedding stand out.

Introducing Helicopter Entrances & Elopements

Making a statement on your wedding day has never been more exciting. Helicopter entrances are the ultimate way to surprise your guests and add a touch of adventure to your celebration.

But it’s not just about grand arrivals—why not take your love story to a breathtaking destination? Helicopter elopements allow couples to exchange vows in stunning, remote locations, like secluded lakesides or picturesque cliffsides, creating a truly one-of-a-kind wedding experience.
