SURPRISE PROPOSAL
The story of how you proposed will be told to friends and strangers for the rest of your lives (no pressure!). The proposal will become part of your very own love story.
It is so much fun to create unique surprise proposals for people. We've been surprising people at the beach, top of mountains or local cafes. Its about creating something the resonates with the couple that will bring back such happy memories for years to come.
Actually quite a bit of planning goes into this to ensure it is just right. It is all done behind he scenes - flowers, photographer, staging a 'proposal place'. We are just so lucky on the Coromandel Peninsula that we have so many unique and beautiful places to choose from.
Today I had the most gorgeous phone call from a 'proposer'. Complete with nervous giggle! Planning is now underway and the emails and suggestions have started. I know that we will be able to provide a truly memorable experience and I just can't wait to be a part of it!
