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.
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 open up the banner as we
pass over 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! On one knee with the ring out! She
will never see it coming! I promise the look on her face will
be absolutely PRICELESS! 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. Once you
have scheduled your private flight you will receive an email
confirmation. Respond to the confirmation email with 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.
Here is what you are looking at for cost.
Private Balloon $595.00 plus tax. Banner $80.00
plus tax.
The best "Deer in the Headlight" look you
will ever see on her face!!!!!!
Priceless....

My girlfriend... sorry, my FIANCE Alex had always dreamed of going
on a hot air balloon ride. I never forgot when she told me that so
for our 2 year anniversary which also happened to be her Birthday I
decided to make her dreams come true. I knew it would be fun, but it
was beyond that by a long shot. There is no other experience like it
in the world and no better way I could have proposed. It is a
wonderful memory we will share forever. The peaceful serenity up
there is quite literally out of this world. The Captain Jeff, was an
amazing pilot and I learned a ton. His true passion for flying the
balloons made the experience like none other. But don't take my word
for it, check out out proposal video to see for yourself. Thank you
so much Thompson Aire!

On September 10, 2011 I was woken up by my boyfriend at 4am for a
"surprise". I had no idea where we were going but in my head all I
wanted to do was go back to bed, that was until I found out what we
were doing. We pulled up to the place where you load into the
Thompson Aire vans and I was EXTREMELY excited!!! We went in and
everyone was sooooo nice to us. We got in the hot air balloon and
the only word to describe it is, WOW! It is unlike anything me or my
boyfriend had ever done. We were in the air and Jeff started talking
on the radio and acting like he couldn't hear the people. We began
to go closer to the ground so we could "get signal". At this point I
had NO idea what was going on. When we got closer to the ground I
saw a sign that said "WILL YOU MARRY ME HOLLY". I burst into tears
when I saw him down on one knee. It was the PERFECT proposal!!!!!!!
Being on the hot air balloon was incredible enough and then to get
engaged, words cannot describe how amazing it was! All of the
employees were congratulating us and everyone was so nice! It was
definitely the BEST day of my entire life!!! We will definitely be
going again some day soon and we would recommed Thompson Aire to
anyone!
Thank you Thompson Aire for everything!

Well what can I say other than WOW!!! This whole
experience was Amazing! I couldn’t have dreamed of a
better way to propose! The TA crew made everything go
soo smoothly, all I had to do was show up and everything
else was taken care of. Our Capt. Jeff brought the
balloon right down along the edge of a lake, where the
ground crew was already positioned with the banner that
said Kara will you marry me. It couldn’t have gone any
better. Capt. Jeff and the whole ground crew did an
Exceptional job, they made our engagement a day we will
never forget. Like Capt. Jeff told us there is no better
look than the Deer in the Headlights look you will get
when she reads the banner and turns around to find you
on one knee. If you’re thinking about proposing to your
girlfriend, I promise there is no better way than in a
hot air balloon with Thompson Aire!!!

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!
