Hire a Hot Air Balloon For Your Wedding
We are pleased to offer a tethered balloon at your wedding venue, with packages starting from just one hour, through to the whole afternoon. The balloon will be anchored to the ground and take vertical journeys before coming back down to the party.
Forget driving away in style, how about rising into the sky above your assembled family and friends? As they raise a glass of champagne to the newly wed couple, you can enjoy an unforgettable experience of floating away with the breeze on a hot air balloon ride. Just don’t forget to toss the bouquet to your bridesmaids before you go!
Unfortunately UK legislation forbids a wedding to take place during a hot air balloon flight. Although you can see that there are still plenty of ways you can enjoy the amazing experiences hot air balloons can offer before and after your ceremony.
Aerial Marketing
Balloons typically last up to 10 years, however we can also offer short term banner advertising. We can arrange packages for local, regional, national and international coverage. Put simply, we will work closely with you to accommodate your vision and budget. We are able to offer anything from a standard shape balloon, to pretty much anything you can imagine. We only work with the leading manufactures to help create and build the most incredible balloons.
What benefits does a hot air balloon offer to your company? The simple answer is advertising and promotion, which can be one of the strongest and cost effective types available. Many will people will take photographs and videos. Whether it is the shear size and colours, its grace of movement or the spirit of adventure, balloons attract attention and people want to record that in photographs to look at time and time again.
How many people do you know who will look at an advertising billboard for more than a few seconds to photograph it or will record a TV advert?
Photo Shoot
We can offer a complete package including a photographer or you can provide your own. We have done several photo shoots with our balloons as a back drop.
Anything is possible, from photo’s inside the balloon with it’s vibrant colours as a back drop, to having the balloon in the background while you and the family enjoy a picnic. We are pleased to be able to offer this service as an ‘add-on’ to our standard flights, there will be an additional cost however, this means you can have a photo shoot, then depart skywards in the balloon.
Fantastic experience, Matt landed his balloon in our field and then kindly offered to take me and my wife on a balloon flight. Matt and his team looked after us throughout the flight and would thoroughly recommend Vista Balloon Flights to our friends and family.
I bought this experience as a present for my Dad’s birthday. Vista Balloon Flights were brilliant from start to finish. They were very well organized and easy to communicate with. The flight itself was breathtakingly beautiful. I would highly recommend this company.
