Secret Waterfall
Stunning aerial views before landing in a secluded fairytale valley
A Majestic Natural Landscape
For the couple who wants to marry far off the beaten path, there isn’t a better location than our Secret Waterfall. Accessible only by helicopter, this beautiful waterfall pours into a valley surrounded by 1200 ft cliffs that rise above the expansive, lush greenery sprawling across the hills. The plentiful natural light glittering across the pristine valley offers an environment of true magic in this secluded location.
Flying High
Our Secret Waterfall is only accessible by helicopter and only has space for one helicopter at a time. Our comfortable and quiet helicopter seats 8 so you will be whisked away with two to three loved ones, your officiant, and your onsite wedding coordinator. This package has unparalleled attention for our clients because our founder Angy Chesler personally handles coordinating this wedding, as well as shooting the photography and videography. We include a tour guide for your 25 minute helicopter ride to and from the ceremony to that you may fully experience the scenic views of Hawaii below you. There is time to explore this private area as the ceremony is set up, and couples return to the site once they hear their officiant blow the conch to call them back. Celebrate your union with a champagne toast with a miraculous waterfall as your backdrop before returning to the outside world.
Important Notes About Secret Waterfall
For this venue, we offer two departure times: 7AM or 9AM. 9AM is often best for those who require the extra time for hair and makeup, which will be provided as part of your wedding package. We recommend doing a “First Look” photoshoot with us at the hotel before departing for the journey, as most couples prefer to drive together to meet our team at the helicopter. Weather can be an issue with this venue, so we offer a backup date 2 days after your original date at no additional cost. Your stylist, officiant, musician, and pilot will also hold that backup date in case of inclement weather. For accommodations, the Fairmont and Hilton are the closest to the helicopter’s departure site.
