Destination weddings have taken on a whole new meaning with Space Perspective, a groundbreaking company that is taking wedding ceremonies to the next level by offering couples the opportunity to get married in space. For a jaw-dropping price of Rs 1 crore per person, lovebirds can exchange their vows while floating above the Earth’s mesmerizing landscapes aboard the Spaceship Neptune, a carbon-neutral balloon with expansive windows that provide an unparalleled view of our planet. Scheduled to launch in 2024, the six-hour flight aboard the Spaceship Neptune promises to be a truly awe-inspiring experience. This extraordinary journey will transport the couple and their guests to an altitude of 1,00,000 feet, offering a breathtaking perspective of Earth before returning to the surface. Space Perspective has already sold 1,000 tickets and anticipates high demand for this extraordinary celestial wedding experience.
The Neptune spacecraft, propelled by renewable hydrogen and devoid of rockets, ensures a carbon-neutral voyage into space. The luxurious capsule, capable of accommodating eight passengers and one pilot, boasts comfortable reclining seats. However, it can also be customized to fulfill specific requests, such as incorporating a dining room table or a wedding altar. During the flight, couples and their guests can indulge in a variety of amenities, including sharing cocktails, engaging in lively conversations with fellow passengers, and curating the perfect playlist for their ascent. The Space Lounge, featuring the largest windows ever flown to space, offers a breathtaking 360-degree view of the cosmos. With high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity, newlyweds can even involve their loved ones back on Earth, allowing them to share in this extraordinary journey.

Poynter emphasized the safety and comfort of the Neptune capsule, which remains securely attached to the SpaceBalloon throughout the entire flight, ensuring a seamless and gentle experience.
