Our Surprise Garden Proposal (Package 1) details are below.

There, she’s greeted by a stunning "Will You Marry Me" sign and a breathtaking floral arch, arranged just for her. Taking her hand, you lead her to the display, tell her how you planned it all with her in mind, and then drop to one knee to propose.
Pretty great, right?!


Imagine for a moment, you take your girlfriend for a sunset stroll through the charming downtown area of San Marcos, carefully chosen by you and your Proposal Planner. As you enjoy the moment together, you suggest stopping for drinks or dessert and casually mention knowing a shortcut. Guiding her along, she’s unaware of what’s ahead until you both step through the entrance to a hidden garden.
