If you’re looking for romance, ballooning is definitely for you! What better way to propose to your significant other than with our Proposal Package. We have a customised “Will You Marry Me” balloon, and, as it is slowly inflated by our pilot, the words become visible. That’s your cue to get out the ring!
The package includes an exclusive flight for just the two of you, and a buffet breakfast afterwards to celebrate your engagement. Please contact our office for further details.
Alternatively, many of our proposals take place on our public flights. There are many magic moments throughout the flight to propose.
You’re welcome to arrange flowers, a banner, a cake or sparkling wine at the venue afterwards. Please keep in mind that flights are weather dependent so can be cancelled due to inclement weather.
