The bride and groom, along with a maximum of 6 guests, will experience an unforgettable wedding ceremony over 30 kilometers above the ground.
Space Perspective, a company based in Florida, USA, is now accepting reservations for weddings or small parties suspended in the stratosphere. This service will officially launch in 2025.
Space Perspective has designed a special capsule that resembles a giant balloon, accommodating up to 8 people and a crew. The trip lasts a total of 6 hours, taking passengers to an altitude of 30 kilometers in the stratosphere.

Participants in the journey can gaze at Earth through the capsule’s windows. Inside, the spacious area features reclining seats, a bar serving complimentary drinks, Wi-Fi connectivity, and even a restroom.
This journey does not reach the edge of space like the space tourism services offered by Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic. Passengers will also not experience a weightless environment.
In return, they can enjoy the feeling of being in the air for an extended period with amenities that far exceed those of traditional spacecraft.
Space Perspective utilizes a massive balloon, roughly the size of a football field, to lift the capsule to the necessary altitude and hover in place. The flight will launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, with an average ascent and descent speed of about 19 km/h.
Space Perspective’s aerial wedding service will begin operations in 2025. The all-inclusive ticket price for each trip (up to 8 people) is $125,000. Currently, customers only need to place a deposit of $8,000.
The events involving billionaires Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos flying to the edge of space with private spacecraft mark a turning point in the space tourism market.
In the future, there will be an increasing number of services catering to the human desire for high-altitude experiences, including Space Perspective’s parties held tens of kilometers above Earth.
