Preferred helicopters for wedding helicopter charter
Airbus H130
Single-engine7 pax · 128 kts · 327 nm
The H130 wraps the H125 powertrain in a wider, quieter cabin with panoramic windows — the dominant aircraft for premium scenic tours and short luxury transfers across the Mediterranean and Gulf.
Leonardo AW109 GrandNew
Light twin6 pax · 153 kts · 450 nm
The AW109 GrandNew is a fast light twin with retractable gear and executive interiors. Leonardo publishes up to 6 passengers, a 153 kt maximum cruise and a 450 nm maximum range with auxiliary fuel tanks and no reserve; real legs are shorter and the operator confirms each one.
Bell 429
Light twin7 pax · 155 kts · 411 nm
The Bell 429 GlobalRanger is North America’s VIP light twin of choice — flat-floor cabin, quiet ride, a 155-knot top speed and the largest cabin volume in its class. Increasingly seen in European VIP fleets and Gulf executive ops, it is priced mid-pack among light twins both to charter and to buy.

Frequently asked
Can the helicopter land at the venue itself?
Most luxury vineyards, châteaux and beach clubs have authorised landing zones. Where they don't, SkyMatch arranges a temporary landing-site permit with the local CAA — usually 4–6 weeks lead time.
Can the helicopter be decorated?
White ribbons and bouquets on the skids are standard. Anything attached must be approved by the operator's safety officer.
Do you do aerial videography flights?
Yes. A second helicopter, doors-off, with a gimbal-equipped camera operator is the standard configuration for cinematic ceremony coverage.
