Celebrations Of Love

Maverick Helicopters Vows To Make Your Wedding And Anniversary Unforgettable
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygq0nWRq5NI

Las Vegas, Nevada--A wedding is the celebration of a lifetime. Maverick Helicopters, a popular air tour operator, understands this. One of its specialties is planning unforgettable ceremonies in the most beautiful locations the Southwest has to offer—places like the Valley of Fire and the Grand Canyon. From bright red rock formations and a magnificent sunset to dramatic cliffs and the raging Colorado River, you can have the backdrop of your dreams.
A Maverick Helicopters’ wedding also offers another benefit—Leanne Semenza. The company’s talented coordinator is here to assist couples every step of the way. She has years of experience planning and providing stress-free weddings.
“Basically, couples get to relax while I do all the work,” said Semenza, a true perfectionist at heart. With over a thousand weddings to her credit, she has a reputation for creating flawless events. Her commitment to clients along with her impeccable taste and attention to detail are evident in each Maverick Helicopters’ wedding.
“Every couple has a unique idea of what their wedding should be like. Therefore, we have a variety of services and can tailor your wedding to meet your expectations,” said Semenza, who can organize such things as a minister, limousine transport, flowers, a cake, champagne, hors d’oeuvres, photographs, a videographer and much more.
Lovebirds can also take advantage of Maverick Helicopters’ special “Celebrations” offer if they tie the nuptial knot between Aug. 1-Dec. 31, 2009. If you get married at either the Valley of Fire or the Grand Canyon, you’ll receive a special bonus. Since paper denotes a one-year anniversary, you’ll be given a certificate good for a Vegas Nights flight. It can be redeemed in 2010 during the month in which you were married for a romantic evening helicopter flight over the lights of the fabulous Strip.
“We truly are a unique company in that each wedding is special and significant to us,” said Semenza. “By giving away an anniversary gift, it’s our way of being part of your commitment and sharing in the celebration of your love in the future.”For more information about the “Celebrations” offer or to arrange a wedding with Maverick Helicopters, contact Leanne Semenza at 702-948-1325 or lsemenza@maverickaviationgroup.com

In Search of Adventure

For a once-in-a-lifetime experience, ride a raft on the Colorado River. On the Maverick Rafting tour, you’ll be delivered by helicopter to the Boulder City Airport via a detour through the Grand Canyon—the greatest spectacle in the natural world. Beginning at the base of historic Hoover Dam, you’ll float through Black Canyon on a fully motorized raft and enjoy lunch 12 miles downstream in Willow Beach, Arizona. It’s a water adventure you'll remember your whole life!


Need to know what to wear for your rafting adventure?

Below is a list of suggested items to bring with you on your rafting trip with Maverick. Keep in mind that the water temperature averages 50°F. Check the weather at the Grand Canyon before your trip since it can vary throughout the year. Remember that the West Rim temperature varies approximately 5-10°F from Las Vegas.
· Quick-drying shorts. Nylon is the preferred fabric and jeans are not recommended since they can weigh you down and do not dry quickly. The key is to have fabric that will dry quickly.
· Cotton T-shirt. It’s a great way to stay cool and keep the sun from burning you. Avoid heavy cotton shirts with longer sleeves that would make it difficult to swim.
· Hat with Brim. It can be either a baseball cap, bucket hat, or a sun hat with a wide brim. Just make sure that it will shade your face from the sun.
· Tennis shoes. If you have some old athletic shoes with laces or Velcro closing, that is preferred. You want to make sure that they are secure and won’t slip off. Do not wear flip flops or boots.
· Sunglasses. Don’t bring your designer frames in case they get damaged during the trip and we also recommend having a retention strap on your sunglasses to make sure you don’t lose them.
· Sunscreen. No matter what time of day or type of weather, we always recommend using sunscreen with a SPF 30+ to protect your skin.
· Swimsuit. Many people find it easier to wear as undergarments in case they get wet or want to take a dip in the cool water.
