FAQ

Planning a proposal in Paris involves several key steps to ensure a flawless experience. Start by choosing the perfect location, whether it’s the Eiffel Tower, a romantic hotel room, or a scenic spot along the Seine. Then, consider the details: flowers, photography, decorations, and a special touch like a private dinner or a surprise photographer. For the ultimate stress-free proposal, you can rely on experts like Say Yes in Paris, who can handle everything from location scouting to photography, ensuring your proposal goes smoothly.

The cost of an engagement proposal can vary depending on the package and services you choose. A basic proposal might cost less, while a full luxury experience including decorations, professional photographers, and private locations can range from a few hundred to several thousand euros. At Say Yes in Paris, we offer various Paris proposal packages that can be tailored to suit your budget and preferences, ensuring a memorable and affordable engagement.

We understand concerns about unpredictable Parisian weather when planning a trip abroad. Part of the Parisian charm is its unpredictability, from sudden showers to impromptu film shoots (like Emily in Paris!), which can potentially restrict access to certain areas.
This is why partnering with experienced Paris proposal specialists like SAY YES in Paris is invaluable. We handle potential disruptions proactively and flexibly:

Proactive Planning & Contingency: We carefully track forecasts and typically develop strong contingency plans. Our deep local expertise and strong vendor network enable us to adapt quickly, adjust timings, secure alternatives, or navigate unexpected city events smoothly, such as working around a film set.

Expert Problem-Solving: Managing last-minute challenges effectively requires local connections that are impossible to replicate alone. While our expert day-of coordination for Prêt-à-Proposer packages effectively addresses common issues, our comprehensive custom planning service inherently provides greater flexibility and resources. Both options offer significantly more peace of mind than a DIY approach.

A Romantic View on Rain: And remember, light Paris rain can add incredible romance! Overcast skies often yield softer, more flattering light for stunning photos, free from harsh shadows or squinting.
Our commitment is to manage complexities discreetly behind the scenes. This allows you to remain completely stress-free and fully present to savor this once-in-a-lifetime experience with your partner.

Here’s a clear overview of our booking and payment process for Paris proposal and wedding packages:

Booking & Retainer: We require a signed agreement and a 50% non-refundable initial retainer to secure our services and reserve your proposal date.
Why Non-Refundable? This retainer lets us immediately dedicate resources and make binding commitments to secure preferred vendors and resources for your event date. Even for Prêt-à-Proposer packages, significant behind-the-scenes coordination and non-recoverable costs commence upon booking confirmation, protecting vendor relationships and ensuring availability.

Final Balance & Add-ons: The remaining 50% balance is due no later than your proposal date. Payment for any agreed-upon last-minute additions, such as extended photo time, is required before your photos or videos are delivered.

Cancellation Policy: All payments made, including the initial retainer, are strictly non-refundable for any reason. This necessary policy reflects the immediate, non-recoverable costs and commitments undertaken on your behalf once the booking is confirmed. This applies regardless of client emergencies, travel disruptions, strikes, or other unforeseen circumstances.
