Drone weddings & events in Dijon

A wedding filmed by drone means the church exit seen from the sky, the reception venue revealed in its green setting, the cocktail hour captured in a wide shot at sunset, the group photo where no one is missing. The drone brings images to a wedding film that even the best ground videographer cannot offer, while remaining discreet: our sub-250 g aircraft are barely audible at 50 m.

We also cover professional and sporting events: opening ceremonies, open-air trade fairs, cycling races, trail runs, regattas, festivals. The service adapts to your day's schedule, in coordination with your other suppliers (photographer, videographer, wedding planner). Photos are delivered within a week and the edited film within three weeks, with an optional social-media teaser within 72 hours.

Common use cases

The local context in Dijon

Dijon's sky has become simpler since the former Dijon-Longvic base closed to commercial traffic, but the airfield remains with light and residual military activity south-east of the city: a check on the Géoportail drone map is required before every mission. The protected city centre — one of France's largest — falls under the built-up-area scenario with notification to the Côte-d'Or prefecture.

Demand rests on heritage (the ducal palace, glazed-tile roofs, the Cité de la gastronomie et du vin) and above all on wine: the Route des Grands Crus starts at the city gates, and estates from Gevrey-Chambertin to Nuits-Saint-Georges buy plot mapping, frost monitoring and brand imagery all year round.

Applicable regulations

The key rule for events is the ban on overflying gatherings of people, which applies in every category. We therefore operate around the edges of the event: a sub-250 g drone in sub-category A1 to get close to individuals (guests near the drone are briefed and become 'involved persons'), or a class C2 drone in A2 at a 30 m distance. Reception venues in built-up areas or within airport control zones require specific preparation via the Géoportail drone map, sometimes a prefectural declaration. Height capped at 120 m; night flying is prohibited in the open category, so evening shots are taken at dusk, within 30 minutes of sunset.

Frequently asked questions

Can the drone fly over our guests during the cocktail hour?

No, overflying gatherings is prohibited by European regulation. We film from the edges at an angle: the result looks like you are above the party without ever putting anyone at risk.

Is the drone noisy during the ceremony?

We use sub-250 g drones that are practically inaudible beyond 30 m, and we never fly during the exchange of vows: aerial ceremony shots are taken at the arrival and the exit.

What if it rains on the wedding day?

Our drones do not fly in rain. If weather prevents flying, we offer to reschedule the aerial part (a couple session at the venue on another date) or refund the drone portion of the package.

Can this service be flown anywhere in Dijon?

Almost: Aérodrome de Dijon-Longvic (trafic résiduel); Secteur sauvegardé du centre historique (scénario agglomération). Depending on the exact location, the pilot picks the right framework (open or specific category) and files the required declarations — included in the quote.
