🇮🇹 Why Italy — and Why Venice

Italy is a romance superpower; Venice is the crown jewel. Imagine a moonlit canal, a quiet bridge, a violin softly playing — and your partner saying yes. If you dream wider, we plan across Rome, Florence, Amalfi Coast, Tuscany, the Dolomites, Sicily, and beyond.

Want something uniquely Venetian? Consider a golden‑hour cruise or a slow‑lagoon sunset:

💡 Ideas to Spark Your “Yes” Moment

❓ FAQ

Can we personalise everything?

Absolutely. From music and flowers to custom routes and surprise guests — we tailor each element to your story. Is a gondola proposal too cliché?

Not when it’s designed well. We favour quieter canals, blue‑hour light, and a discrete plan for photos so it feels intimate, not staged. What if it rains?

We always build a beautiful Plan B — covered terraces, elegant interiors, or mood‑lit cloisters so the magic never depends on the forecast. Do you plan proposals outside Venice?

Yes — Rome, Florence, Amalfi Coast, Tuscany, Dolomites, Sicily and more. Tell us your dream and we’ll map the perfect setting.
