Weddings

For that special
occasion or
group the ACA
balloon adds
a unique style
that cannot

for memory
sakes. The

occasions.
There
are two styles
of ballooning
events that
can be undertaken:
A:
TETHERED:
The balloon
can be tethered
(inflated with
a rope still
attached) and
the balloon
only just touches
off the ground
guests on board

is used for
the special
couple &
or guests.
The balloon
is hired for
the occasion
for up to two
hours with
approx. inflation
time being
1:00-1:15min.
An evening
tethered night-glow
could be arranged,
weather permitting.
B:

Balloon Trip
is undertaken
and the Balloon
Team makes
all arrangements

only difference
is that the

for your occasion
exclusively.
The Balloon
Trip can be
for Bride &
Groom (plus
Pilot of course!)
or up to a
total group
size of 16
people. Note:

size is at
your discretion
between 2 -16pax.
