Every love story is unique — and so is every proposal we plan. From surprise beach setups to candle-lit gardens, we’ve seen nervous heartbeats transform into joyful tears more times than we can count. At Take My Hand Proposals, we live for those breathtaking moments when “Will you marry me?” turns into “Yes!”

💖 A Nashville Night to Remember

One of our favorite proposals took place right in the heart of downtown Nashville. The proposer told us his girlfriend loved live music and rooftop views. So, we combined the two — a private rooftop setup with a guitarist softly playing their favorite song as the city lights twinkled below.When she stepped out of the elevator, candles lined the pathway, and a giant “MARRY ME” marquee glowed against the skyline. She cried before he even spoke a word.(See more romantic rooftop setups in our Marriage Proposal Packages).

🌴 Tampa Bay Beach Magic

This proposal was all about serenity and surprise. We set up a private beach dinner with tiki torches, soft lighting, and a custom sand sculpture of their initials. Just as the sun dipped below the horizon, a musician began playing a song written just for her. When he got down on one knee, the entire beach applauded — and yes, even our planners got emotional!(Want to recreate this moment? Explore our Romantic Beach Proposals).

🌆 Atlanta’s Garden Glow

In Atlanta, we helped plan a candle-lit garden proposal inspired by the couple’s first picnic together. Our team arrived early to hang fairy lights, set up rose petals, and coordinate a photographer hidden behind the trees. When she said yes, her family appeared for a surprise champagne toast.It was intimate, elegant, and completely unforgettable.

🎬 Behind the Scenes

What you don’t always see is the careful coordination behind every romantic moment. Our planners often hide in bushes, time sunsets to the minute, and even communicate secretly with friends and family to ensure every detail feels effortless. Whether it’s arranging photographers or calming jittery proposers, our goal is always the same: make your dream moment feel natural, magical, and absolutely unforgettable.
