Proposing in Var means choosing one of the most romantic settings in the Mediterranean: a Pampelonne beach at sunset, a private boat at anchor at twilight, a starred restaurant terrace, a perched belvédère above the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. The light, the colours, the silence — everything contributes to the moment.
Over 80 marriage proposals organized so far. The scenarios vary infinitely: a simple table on a wild beach at sunset, a 3-hour cruise with the ring served with the dessert, a helicopter arrival on a remote belvédère, a custom message written in stones on the sand. We tailor entirely to the proposer's vision.
Discretion is at the heart of our work. The partner suspects nothing. We coordinate every supplier (florist, photographer, chef, captain) with the proposer alone. Briefing at the last 48h, day-of coordination from us, perfect choreography. The 'YES' is your magic; the logistics are ours.

Coordination and discretion
How we keep the secret:
- All communication between us and the proposer. The partner is never contacted.
- On the day, the proposer arrives with the partner. We are nearby (invisible). Signal for setup is brief.
- All suppliers (florist, photographer, captain) are briefed on discretion — they pretend to be ordinary staff.
- Photographer 50-100m away with telephoto lens, captures naturally without being seen.
- Quick setup (5-15 min) before the moment. Quick disassembly after.
- Plan B in case of bad weather: a covered alternative (private veranda, restaurant) decided 48h before based on forecast.
Add-ons for an extraordinary moment

- Hidden photographer with telephoto: €600-900.
- Drone for aerial shots: €500-800.
- Custom music live (saxophone, guitar): €400-1,000 for 1h.
