If you're looking for an experience to build a memory off of, look no further - Valley Helicopters will ensure that you and your crew experience the wonders of British Columbia in a way that will take your breath away.
My wife Jenna and I got married during the COVID-19 Pandemic, and like many who had their original plans, and several back-up plans ruined because of the restrictions, we were delighted to discover Valley Helicopters.
Our trip was booked with them in May of 2021. Hunter (pilot) and Josh (engineer) led our experience. Not only were they incredibly professional, they engaged with Jenna, myself, and our small crew as though we were a part of their family. We departed from Chilliwack airport, and flew up to the top of Mt. Mercer. After a couple passes around the mountain (due to local hikers making it impossible to land), we found ourselves in awe of the magnificent spot that Hunter found for us.
Booking a trip like this, especially for a wedding ceremony, was a little overwhelming. Of course you trust the company to know the best places to find the most incredible scenic views, but there's always a bit of trepidation. Allow me to put your mind at rest. We wouldn't have been able to find a more incredible spot if we had spent years looking at different options. We had an absolute blast! From the moment we met with Hunter and Josh, and experienced their personalities in their safety run-thru, all the way to the flight, disembarking, and the ceremony itself, in no small way, they became a part of our wedding party (and having a limit to 10 people, it was an honour to be able to add them).
Honestly, Hunter and Josh were incredible. We greatly benefited from their professionalism, joy, humour, experience, education, and knowledge, and our Wedding Day was made better because of them. I can't recommend this company enough. Whether you're looking for an elopement package, a full wedding ceremony, or a simple getaway to some of the most beautiful peaks in Canada (without the effort of hiking up yourself), there's only one company I'd recommend.
