What inspired you to start your business?
The idea of planning dream marriage proposals came to me when I heard that a friend-of-a-friend proposed to with a ring at the bottom of a fried chicken bucket. His heart was in the right place because he was trying to incorporate her favorite food, but it dawned on me that there had to be a better way. From there, I started designing elaborate engagements and became known as The Proposal Planner.

What options for customization do you offer?
Each proposal is unique to the couple, so the possibilities for customization are endless! I tailor every proposal to reflect their unique love story so each one is different and the only limits are as far as the imagination can take you.

If you could give one tip to couples who are planning a proposal, what would it be?
Document it! This is one of the most memorable moments and you should get caught up in the emotion, which many times means that you won’t remember the details – what you said, what she said, how it all happened. Having photos or video of your engagement allows you to re-live it, and share with friends and family! If you can’t afford to hire someone, ask a friend to help with his or her camera or iphone.

What is something that most people don’t know about your biz/you?
I don’t think most people know that I am recently engaged myself – my fiance surprised me with a very romantic trip to Jamaica, and proposed over a picnic on the beach of a private island. It was absolutely perfect for us as a couple!

What is your one must-have item/product/tool to have on-hand when you’re working?
A schedule for the entire event, including the contact numbers of everyone involved. It’s the best way to make sure everything goes smoothly!

If you had to choose one word to describe yourself/your business what would it be?
Brilliant!
