Based in Oia, we turn a proposal you're planning from another country into a finished scene on the ground — the setting found, the surprise rehearsed, the secret kept — so you land and simply ask.
A Santorini proposal planner is a local team who design, stage, coordinate and safeguard the surprise so you can simply arrive and ask. Based in Oia, we handle the setting, styling, photographer, timing and secret-keeping end to end — the whole plan built with you, usually from abroad, and rehearsed before you fly.
A proposal planner takes the whole event off your plate — securing a private setting, styling it, booking the photographer, building the surprise timeline and being there on the day to run it while you stay out of sight. In practice we become your single point of contact for the moving parts of a proposal — design and styling, photography, music, dining, transfers, the ring and the secret logistics — so you brief one team, not ten suppliers in a country you may never have visited.
It is the difference between hoping it comes together and knowing it will. A planner is also a safety net: we hold backup plans for wind and weather, we know which terraces are genuinely private at sunset, and we have staged the moment enough times to catch problems before they happen. That is what turns a lovely idea into a Santorini proposal that runs to the minute — backup plan and all. The same care extends past the question, too: we also stage symbolic elopements for couples who want vows above the caldera without the paperwork.
Oia, Santorini — our island team, on the ground year-round, not coordinating your day from another country.
4–8 weeks in peak season; longer for a villa, yacht or helicopter, where dates and permits are limited.
Everything agreed in writing, with one dedicated point of contact from your first enquiry to the day itself.
Setting, styling, photographer, music, dining, transfers, ring concierge and the minute-by-minute timing.
We set up, run the timeline and stay out of sight, then hand you straight into the celebration.
Every outdoor plan carries a wind and weather alternative — the summer meltemi included.
You hire a planner to take the risk out of a once-only moment you cannot rehearse — especially when you are organising it from thousands of miles away. Doing it yourself works fine for a simple, spontaneous moment at a public viewpoint; but the more you want — a private terrace, a photographer who knows the light, dinner waiting, a musician, transfers timed to the minute — the more a local team earns their place.
We negotiate with suppliers we work with weekly, not once; we read the month's sunset and the summer meltemi; and we are on the ground the moment anything shifts. Weigh it up in our honest look at whether a package really costs more than assembling it yourself in the proposal cost guide, and browse the settings we work across in the locations guide.
Planning from abroad works entirely over email and video calls: you tell us the story, the date and a budget, we propose a setting and design, confirm every supplier, and send a clear plan and timeline before you fly. Almost every couple we work with plans this way, from another country and often another time zone — nothing needs arranging in person.

“They were super responsive and helpful, and gave me multiple options that made me feel in control of this amazing event. Everyone on the day was so nice and put together a day we will never forget. I cannot recommend them enough!”
Mitch Apr 2025 · via WeddingWire“Amazing proposal planning — especially when you're out of the country. These people are super: very responsive, helpful, and everything went to plan on the day too, thanks to their great ops manager and photographer.”
Saj Sep 2025 · via WeddingWireA proposal planner designs and runs the whole surprise for you: we secure and style a private setting, book the photographer and any extras, build the timeline, and coordinate everyone on the day so nothing is left to you but the question.
There is no separate planner fee — coordination is built into every package. Packages start at €950 for the Classic and rise with the setting and styling; most couples invest €2,500–€5,000 all in. See the cost guide and packages page for the figures.
Four to eight weeks is ideal in peak season (May–October); a villa, yacht or helicopter needs longer because dates and permits are limited. We do take shorter-notice bookings when suppliers are free, but the best terraces and photographers go early.
Yes — most of our couples plan entirely from another country. We work over email and video calls across time zones, confirm every detail in writing, and handle everything on the ground so you only arrive for the moment itself.
Yes, secrecy is the part we guard most. We build a believable cover story, set up while your partner is elsewhere, brief any guests, and stay out of sight until the reveal — so the surprise holds right up to the question.
The whole island — from the Oia clifftops and the quiet caldera rim to the south-coast beaches, the vineyards, a cape lighthouse and the open sea. We match the setting to your partner and your dates; compare them in the locations guide.
Tell us the story and the date — we'll design the setting, handle every supplier and keep the secret.
