On the 4th June 2021, Andrew popped the question to the love of his life.

Andrew and Chayla are from Boksburg, and it was their last time traveling in South Africa, as they are immigrating overseas. They have been together for wonderful 8 years, so it was the right time, before they move, to pop the question.

Andrew called us to assist him with the ‘perfect proposal.’ He asked to book a wine farm and maybe a helicopter, something private with stunning views. The venue needed to represent CAPE TOWN and all its beauty. Cape Town is such a beautiful place so the options are endless. We know and love Klein Constantia which is a smaller farm situated in the Constantia valley. They have a lovely wine deck at the top of the farm which is super for this kind of function. We planned and booked the day’s events for this lovely couple.

The plan was a helicopter flight to Klein Constantia, on landing they were collected in a 4×4 which takes them on a short drive up the mountain. You go past vineyards and a dam on the way, it is beautiful. On arrival at the private deck, they hop out of the vehicle and walk down some stairs to see the setup. Andrew wanted a “marry me” sign, bubbly and flowers. Our photographer actually joined them from the start to capture all these events on film.

Andrew asked the woman of his dreams to marry him, she said YES! There were hugs, tears of joy, and lots of kisses! After the couple’s shoot, they headed down the mountain to have lunch at the Bistro.

Andrew and Chayla wine farm proposal was stunning, we wish this happy couple all the best for their move and new adventures in the USA.

On the 18th July 2020, Darroll asked the love of his life to marry him, she said yes!

Their love story is magical, they have been dating for 10 years and met through a friend. It was time to pop the question and spend the rest of their lives together.

When Darroll contacted us, he was looking for amazing ideas for his marriage proposal. He loved the idea of playing games or a treasure hunt at a beautiful venue. The brief was to be creative and fun, maybe a puzzle to lead to the proposal. They both enjoy playing games thus he wanted to include this on the big day. His original idea was canceled due to COVID19 thus needed our expert advice and knowledge to assist.

We booked the honeymoon suite at Silvermist Mountain Lodge, this was our venue for the perfect proposal. We had a puzzle made up, so when it was put together it read: “will you marry me?”. We placed the puzzle pieces in little white boxes which were then put on the ground for her to collect along the way. The idea was on their arrival, she would gather and collect the boxes, go up the stairs to the balcony and put together the puzzle. Once the puzzle was done she would see the magic words, and he would propose.

Darroll had told Natheemah that she was off to a photoshoot so she needed to dress up and the photographer would meet them on arrival. This was a lovely addition to the idea as Lesley was then able to catch the whole proposal on film. We booked Lesley as we knew he would create a wonderful video as well as taking some photos.

Once Natheemah had put together the puzzle, Darroll asked her to be his bride and she said YES!

Darroll and Natheemah puzzle proposal was so much fun to plan, we thank you for choosing us to assist them with their special day. Wishing them all the best on this exciting adventure they about to embark on.

On the 21st October 2019, Ricardo and Paola got engaged!

This wonderful couple came to Cape Town on holiday and Ricardo thought this was the PERFECT time to pop the question. He lives in Brasil and her in Miami as they are both studying. They met through an exchange study programme and have been together for 3 years.

They love nature and travelling so have explored many places together, South Africa is one of them. Ricardo loved the idea of proposing in the gardens in Nature, so Kirstenbosch botanical gardens was the chosen venue. Kirstenbosch is beautiful this time of year as it was Springtime. All the flowers are out in bloom which is wonderful to explore.

This is now Ricardo pictured their marriage proposal… it was planned and executed in this manner! YAY 🙂

“When we decided to go on a trip to Cape Town, I immediately thought that it would be the perfect opportunity to propose since it is an amazing place full of breathtaking scenic views.  Time passed by and as we planned for the trip, we found out about the botanical gardens and decided it was one of the places worth going to since we both love the nature and would really appreciate the gardens. So during my research, I came across pictures of the gardens and the moment I saw them I knew it would be a good spot for the perfect proposal. Since it is going to be Spring, the gardens will be at their best, and there I will have a set-up arranged for us at a quiet spot, with pictures of us, roses and petals scattered all over, and a hidden photographer to register the moment and do a couples shoot. As we walk through the beautiful gardens I will tell her how much I love her, and when we get to the place, as she starts to assimilate what is happening I will drop on one knee and ask her to be mine forever.”

After walking through the gardens and finding the setup, Ricardo got onto one knee and asked the women of his life to marry him, she said YES!

Ricardo and Paola garden proposal was so cute, we loved meeting them and sharing this happy moment. Wishing them all the best for their future together.

Ying Ying came to South Africa for work and Jason then joined for a small holiday. They travelled all over and the last stop was Cape Town. Jason decided it was time to pop the question!

He wanted a quiet private picnic at Silvermist, Constantia. The MOST important element of the proposal was to include French bulldogs. This was a non-negotiable so the planning began. They have two Frenchies back in Singapore which they love dearly. As the dogs could not come on holiday we had to be creative of how to include the Frenchies. We do not use live animals unless the couple is willing to keep the animals, in this case, they couldn’t. So we arranged 2 ceramic French bulldogs that had tags around their necks saying “marry me”.

The picnic area was looking lush and green, and Silvermist always creates delicious food. We also arranged some bubbly for the celebrations. Jason wanted balloons along the pathway as he wanted the deco pink & pretty, her favourite.

They arrived on the Red Bus tour and we collected them from the bus stop. Then drove them to the private deck in the forest for their picnic. Jason was carrying a backpack and told Ying Ying to have a look at the deco while he looked for something in his bag. When she saw the dog tags he was behind her on one knee, asking for her hand in marriage. She said yes!!! What a great reaction, filled with happiness and surprise. She did tell us afterwards that Jason was acting “odd” that morning and he was in a rush, which he never is, so she picked up something must be “up”. They had a lovely picnic and took some photos. After the picnic, we dropped them off at Kirstenbosch gardens where they spend the afternoon.

Jason and Ying Ying Marriage Proposal was so much fun! Wishing this lovely couple all the best for their future together. They really enjoyed South Africa and we hope they return to visit soon!

Abass came to us asking to plan the “most romantic proposal ever”. He wanted to spoil her and show how much he cares!! They had only been together a short while but as he says… “when you meet ‘the one’ time is really not an issue”. He says soon after they met, they have been inseparable. It’s a very sweet story <3

Abass wanted a venue that was not affected by weather, Beau Constantia was the chosen location. They have a stunning room which we transformed into a romantic space for the marriage proposal. We used lots and lots of red roses as this is her favourite flower. We ordered hundreds of rose petals which covered the floor. We even created a rose petal heart at the entrance <3 The room overlooks the Constantia Valley, we can not get enough of this view, it’s breathtaking.

On their arrival, Jilda the photographer was hiding to capture their special moment. They walked into the room with their favourite song playing: Kevin Garett – Little bit if you. Photos were hung up on the wall to remember happy memories. We used red roses and penny gum as flower deco. The room looked like a sea of red roses…

Abass got on one knee as they entered, he asked that important question, she said YES!! Fairuz was laughing and emotional, a very happy moment indeed. They had some photo’s taken on the wine farm and after this enjoyed a very romantic dinner by Chef’s warehouse.

Abass and Fairuz romantic marriage proposal was beautiful. We could see they are so in love, and can’t wait to spend the rest of their lives together! We wish them all the happiness in the world.
