The memorial has started at Guildford Cathedral for Eric Swaffer and Izabela Lechowicz who died in the helicopter crash at the King Power Stadium in Leicester.
Ben Gonzales, a friend and colleague from King Power International, said the support from the "aviation family" since the crash "has been unbelievable".
Close friend and colleague of Ms Lechowicz, Nick Metcalfe, said: "Izzy had such ambition and motivation" and called her a "role model for women in the aviation community in Poland".
He said the couple "certainly lived life to the full" and it was "fitting they were together at the end".
