How does it work for a coordinator?

Post the event with the date, location, and the coverage you want. Certified pilots near the venue send bids with their portfolios. You pick the pilot that fits, and they coordinate directly with you for the day.

Wedding & Event Venue Drone Photography

How it works

Three steps to aerials that book events.

Post the venue or the event, compare bids from local certified pilots, book the one you want. Whether it is marketing content or coverage for a wedding day.

Post the venue or event

Location, the date if it is an event, and what you want captured. Takes about three minutes and costs nothing.

Review pilot bids

Certified pilots near the venue send you bids with their portfolio and price attached. Compare the work, not just the number.

Book direct, get your files

Pick your pilot and work with them directly. Finished files land in your cloud folder, typically inside 48 hours of the flight.

Copy this into your job post

The aerial set that markets a venue.

Hand this to any pilot you book and you will get a marketing set that shows a venue at its best. Most venues paste it straight into the job description.

What venues and couples book

Every kind of event, one place to post.

From a venue that needs fresh marketing content to a couple that needs their wedding day captured from above, the same three steps apply.

Venue marketing content

Fresh aerials of the grounds and spaces for your website and socials. The content that makes a couple stop scrolling and book a tour.

Wedding-day coverage

Ceremony, reception, and a highlight clip from above, a perspective no ground photographer can capture on the day.

Seasonal refresh

Spring blooms, fall foliage, fresh snow. A quick seasonal shoot keeps your marketing current all year round.

Promotional video

Short vertical clips for Instagram and Facebook, longer horizontal cuts for your website and venue tours.

Corporate & large events

Festivals, galas, and corporate gatherings. Aerials that capture the scale and energy of a full event.

Golf, wineries & resorts

Sweeping aerials of courses, vineyards, and resort grounds that show the whole property as a destination.

Straight answer on cost

You set the budget. Pilots bid on it.

There is no rate card here because your market sets the rate. Post the job with the budget you have in mind, and certified pilots near the venue tell you what they will do it for. Posting is free, FlyDroneHub takes no commission, and you pay the pilot directly, so the number you agree on is the number you pay.

FlyDroneHub was built by Richard Hudman, a 21-year military veteran and working Part 107 pilot, on a simple idea: the pilot does the work, the pilot keeps the money, and the client never pays a middleman. That is the whole model.

Common questions

Wedding & venue drone FAQ.

Why should a venue offer drone photography?

Aerial photos and video show a venue the way couples experience it: the grounds, the setting, the surroundings, all in one frame. Fresh aerial content helps a venue stand out online and book more events.

Who books and pays, the venue or the couple?

Either works. A venue can commission marketing content directly, or a couple can post and pay for wedding-day coverage themselves. A venue can simply point couples to FlyDroneHub as a trusted resource.

Is there any liability for the venue?

No. When a couple books and pays a pilot directly, the venue is only making a referral. Every pilot is FAA Part 107 certified, so a venue is never recommending an unlicensed operator.

What does venue or wedding drone coverage cost?

You set the budget and certified pilots bid on it, so pricing reflects your local market rather than a fixed national rate. Posting the job is free and FlyDroneHub takes no commission, so the price you agree on is the price you pay.
