Plan a Detroit proposal
that feels like you.
From a garden setting on Belle Isle to a quiet moment beside the Detroit River, we shape a thoughtful proposal around your story and take care of the details behind it.
Start planning ↗A sense of place
Choose the Detroit setting together.
We help you think through the atmosphere you want: waterfront and skyline, a garden backdrop, or a setting that feels more private. Belle Isle and the Detroit Riverwalk are starting points; the exact spot is chosen around your timing, privacy, access and preferred look.
We confirm current access, venue rules, fees and photography requirements with the relevant site or agency before planning. Location recommendations do not imply a partnership or guarantee availability.
Every important detail, considered.
Photography included
Every proposal experience includes professional, discreet photography of the moment and portraits afterward. An edited highlight film can be added.
Florals & finishing touches
Every experience includes its floral package and 6-ft MARRY ME letters. The Storybook adds a red carpet and candles; The Grand Gesture includes those details plus a music setup. Live musicians and private dining are available as optional upgrades.
Clear starting points
The Keepsake starts at $1,450; The Storybook at $2,950; and The Grand Gesture at $5,900. Photography coverage, floral design, travel, venue or permit fees and optional upgrades are detailed in your written quote before booking.

Belle Isle: choose the setting before the setup
The conservatory, gardens and waterfront offer different experiences. Facility hours can differ from park hours, and driving onto Belle Isle requires a Recreation Passport. We discuss the exact meeting point, photography access and approved decor before selecting a setup. Large letters, candles or a red carpet are subject to location approval.
Belle Isle visitor information
Detroit Riverwalk: plan around a public setting
The riverfront offers water and city views, but it is a shared public space. Your plan should account for pedestrian traffic, wind, a discreet photographer position and a clear arrival route. We can discuss an alternative setting if privacy or a larger installation is essential.
What to include in your inquiry
Tell us your preferred date, whether you want skyline or garden scenery, how much privacy matters, and whether family will join afterward. We will clarify venue permissions, travel and photography coverage in your quote.
Your Detroit proposal checklist
A practical Belle Isle proposal plan
Start with the feeling you want: a waterfront view, garden surroundings or an indoor setting. Before the date, confirm an approved setup, an exact arrival point and a discreet signal for the photographer. Allow time for parking and walking, and decide whether loved ones will join after the surprise.
Plan the portraits around your chosen location and available daylight. For outdoor waterfront settings, discuss wind and weather alternatives before committing to decor or timing.
