On the 17th of December 2022, Ricardo and Danielle got engaged.

Four months ago Ricardo got in touch with our team, as he wanted to make his proposal extra special.
He picked a perfect summer’s day in the festive season when Johannesburg slowed down and Danielle and he were on their first day of leave.

Ricardo had the idea of doing a rooftop proposal but then found out that his girlfriend is terrified of heights, so we kept it as low to the ground as possible. The Perfect Proposal team set up a beautiful picnic with a magnificent river view. The nearby stream with a little waterfall added to the tranquil sounds of nature and insured we had a romantic backdrop for photos

The couple arrived in matching black as Ricardo wanted the pictures to be timeless and elegant. On arrival, we checked them into their Riverview room for the night, and after settling in and unpacking their luggage Ricardo took Danielle out to surprise her with their private picnic for two. As they approached their favourite song “Hunger” by Ross Copperman welcomed them in the background, while their delicious feast of desserts was laid out for them to enjoy.

Ricardo went down on his knee and asked for her hand in marriage. He was met with an emotional and affectionate YES! As this was happening the photographer popped out unexpectedly from behind the tree to capture the magical moment.

What a happy, playful, and loving couple Ricardo and Danielle make, and the pictures prove it!

They proceeded to celebrate their engagement with a toast of bubbly and cooled off with a stroll in the stream. As they got more comfortable with the camera and started getting used to being engaged they explored the location and created memories in a few different areas.

Danielle loves the African vibes and the lodge spoke to her tastes. As so many Joburgers were away for the December holidays, their picnic was completely exclusive to the couple’s proposal.
What an absolute treat to see such joy on a perfect day, in a stunning setting for their engagement.

Ricardo and Danielle picnic proposal was perfect. We congratulate this happy couple, it was such a privilege to be a part of this special day, all the best for the future.

On the 15^th of August 2020, Keno and Kim got engaged, she said yes!

Our biggest congratulations to Keno and Kim on their beautiful treasure hunt proposal in a private garden venue in Johannesburg! Keno’s best friend, Davrin, first contacted us to help plan this amazing proposal for them. Davrin is a past client of The Perfect Proposal (see his proposal here) and he knew that we could assist with setting up a truly special proposal for Kim.

We knew the best private garden venue for the proposal – a venue that they would have exclusively. Dasreya told Kim that her work had a High Tea scheduled at the venue and that she was allowed to invite friends. Kim arrived (Dasreya told her that she was running late) and there was her first treasure hunt clue waiting for her with her name on it (and a big red heart balloon). The clue told her that it was time to take a trip down memory lane and then Keno would be waiting for her at the end.

She followed the clues and the balloons through the garden to arrive at the Rose Garden where an intimate picnic set up for two awaited her. There she saw a box with her name on it. She opened the box to page through the photo album of the two of them. The noise of the fountain meant that she didn’t hear Keno creep up and kneel behind her 😊 The last page of the photo album said “Will You Marry Me?” and Kim turned around to see Keno on one knee. She was so surprised that she hid her face in the photo album! It was a resounding “Yes!”.

They then enjoyed a delicious picnic box and a photoshoot around the gardens, before phoning all their friends and family with their happy news.

Keno and Kim Treasure Hunt Proposal was perfect! Keno and Kim, we wish you all the best on this wonderful new adventure.
