When I was little, one of my favorite books was “The Secret Garden.” I loved the story of how with love, attention, and nourishment this once abandoned garden is rejuvenated. It reminds me that our relationships are like that, it needs time, attention, love, forgiveness, and a willingness to work at it to bloom! That gave me an idea, what about setting up a “Secret Garden” themed Surprise Proposal in Hawaii?!

On Oahu, Hawaii we have quite a few venue options:

• A Botanical Garden

• Flower Farm

• Private Estate with a garden

• Hotel Garden

• A Beach Park

Set up ideas:

Listed below are a few of our Oahu favorites to plan a secret proposal and ask for their hand in marriage.

• At a garden. A hidden scene with a picnic table with your partner’s favorite delicacies; a garden style centerpiece, fancy place settings, flatware, silverware, glasses and candles are all possible. Leading up to the secret proposal, write little notes with quotes from the book “The Secret Garden,” to entice your partner. Escort them down a garden pathway where the romantic scene complete with candle light and floral centerpieces await you to ask for your partner’s hand in marriage.

• At a Beach park. Our team will find that perfect tree to drape several yards of fabric to create that wispy dreamy romantic aesthetic. Complete with a large picnic blanket, throw pillows, and picnic basket!

Tips:

• Get lots of points for romance when you write a letter or order a personalized gift for your significant other ahead of time. This is a sure fire way to create an unforgettable moment and get a “YES!”

• Remember to capture the big moment with some amazing photography. Our head ninja photographer is rated as one of the best portrait photographers in Oahu!
