Planning a Proposal?

Did you know about Jamison Events helps coordinate proposals? For the couple looking for an extra special and stress free experience, Jamison Events will create a custom plan just for you!

Chances are, you’re pretty nervous to propose to your significant other, so…

Here’s some tips to help ease your nerves

  • One thing we see Couples do is try to go over the top for the proposal. While the element of surprise is essential with proposals, this will not only create stress but more nerves. Instead of trying to be over the top, aim for something meaningful you both will never forget! 

  • Have a plan and stick to it. Organizing the day/experience ahead of time will ensure a smoother experience than just trying to make it happen. 

  • Be you and go with the flow. Your significant other may already be speculating the engagement or they could be completely shocked, but no matter what, your day will be incredible!

Here are 5 ideas for your big proposal + we can help

  1. Recreate your first date: We love this simple, yet romantic moment. Enjoy dinner together, then surprise them with a perfectly planned spot that’s decorated for the two of you. This is when you pop the question! 

  2. A Perfect Picnic: Plan a catered or intimate picnic on the beach, garden or park. This romantic day can be filled with a pretty table setup, champagne and soft live music. 

  3. Go wine tasting: Surprise your SO with a fun day tasting wine. On your second stop (reminder not to be too tipsy!) arrange to have a winery spot set-up just for the two of you! 

  4. Incorporate LIVE music: IF you’ve seen the Bachelor/Bachelorette, you know those dates with live musicians playing in the background? Just like that! Hiring a local live band, or even a up-and-coming artist is the perfect way to serenade your significant other into saying YES!

  5. Organize a rooftop proposal: If you’re lucky enough find a rooftop (or have a friend that you know with a rooftop) location with a killer view, and dress up the space with florals, a neon sign, or other details. Go up to the rooftop tp catch a view of the sunset and then get down on one knee. This idea is romantic, intimate, and budget friendly!

What Not to Forget!

  • Background music will help set the mood.

  • Beautiful views or arranged florals help create ambiance.

  • Hire someone to capture the moment. Whether it’s a hidden photographer or a videographer that “happens” to be there, hiring a professional will ensure you’ll have the absolute most beautiful photos of that moment. 

 We want to wish you good luck on your proposal and hopefully a congratulations on your engagement! AND if now you’re onto wedding planning, you can look into hiring Jamison Events.
