Wedding Proposals

One of our greatest pleasures is getting to be part of a wedding proposal.  It is a special day for both the future bride and groom as well as their families.  Over the years we have seen many many ways to propose.  We have seen the silly to the extravagant but out of all of them the best way we have seen is the way we suggest to do it. 

First of all this is a very special day and we understand how nervous you can be as well as how worried you can get that it goes off perfect.  Trust us we will make it perfect!

One of the things we strongly suggest is, get a private balloon.  We know it costs a little bit more but we guarantee it is worth it.  Best of all you will have enough room in the basket to get down on one knee and do it right

Here is how it works.

We will have a banner made up that will say,  WILL YOU MARRY ME "her name"

We will treat the morning just like any other one.  You will participate with the other passengers in our normal pre-flight briefing.  We will then go out to the launch site for the day and inflate the balloons.  You will have your own private balloon.  Our ground crew will have the banner in the van.  Your pilot will discreetly position the ground team on a road out in front of our flight path. 

View looking back as we pass over the van and banner!

During the flight we will pretend that the radio has malfunctioned and the ground team is trying to tell us something.  We will ask that you help to spot the crew and figure out what it is they are trying to tell us.  Of course you will know exactly what is coming and have time to get out the ring and be ready to take a knee.

The pilot will fly the balloon down to a couple hundred feet right over the ground crew.  The Ground Team will have the banner rolled out on top of the support van where it can easily be read.  Of course your sweetheart will be looking for the crew and once spotted will see the big banner on the van asking WILL YOU MARRY ME. 

At this time they will turn around to find U.  You of course will be ready!

After the flight it is customary for all the pilots and crew and other passengers on that day to sign your banner so you will have a wonderful souvenir of your special day and all the people involved.

You may schedule a private flight online by clicking private flights.  Then send us another email and let us know you plan to propose and what the lucky persons name is and we will take care of the rest.

The experience was awesome, especially since it was my first time doing this sort of thing. You guys did an amazing job with the proposal to my now Fiance Eleana:) The banner was excellent, and in fact, we will be using the banner as our guestbook for our wedding! Then we will get a nice frame and hang it in our home:) That with the signatures from the crew and the other guests that were present on the day of the flight, will be an awesome story to tell our children in the future. Thank you so much:)

After looking all over for the perfect balloon company for my marriage proposal I found TA. I read the entire site and googled the company and found nothing but positive things about it. From start to finish TA met and exceeded my expectations. Capt. Jeff and the whole ground crew were very helpful and made a very stressful proposal very easy. The balloon ride itself was amazing. Words cant describe the experience. The whole morning was like something out of a fairytale, from floating above the clouds and fog to watching a beautiful sunrise. I will definitely be back for my anniversary. Thanks for an amazing day! Oh I almost forgot, thanks for the corny jokes too. LOL

I would recommend this company to anyone who would like to experience the amazing feeling to riding in a hot air balloon. Not only did I do something that I have been wanting to do my entire life; my boyfriend proposed during our flight! Thompson Aire did a wonderful job and certainly helped make one of the most important days in my life memorable. Thank You! I will NEVER forget it!

Jeff, Jon, and the crew,
Thank you so much for the experience. That proposal could not have gone over any better than it did. Both of us told our friends and they all think there is no way to top ours. The flight, the breakfast, and the experience were all outstanding and breathtaking! Thank you so much for making our special day so memorable and so personal! We will never forget this, for as long as we live. Hope to fly with you guys again!
Very Truly Yours,
Mike and Michelle

We actually had two proposals on this same day! 

See you soon and CONGRATS!

Jeff
