Yair & Tal – marriage proposal in Rome

When you decide to propose to your girlfriend, you always want to be creative, personal and unforgettable. To start planning, you have to decide if to propose privately or in public.

Yair, an Israeli guy, contacted me and asked if I could help him out with arranging his surprise to his cute girlfriend, Tal. Yair wanted his proposal to be a more private event while at the same time creating a story that Tal would never forget. To make all very natural, we decided for a location where Tal would consider the atmosphere just normal. To do so, I let Yair to opt for an itinerary he thought to be perfect for the engagement. I proposed several options.  Yair chose a stunning restaurant located in the so-called Roman Castles (Castelli Romani) – precisely in Castel Gandolfo, which is located at short distance from Rome.

Pagnanelli Restaurant is the picture-perfect location not only for its extraordinary view but also for the refined atmosphere in cellars dug from volcanic rock. Pagnanelli offers the experience of four generations founded in 1882. Terraces overlooking the lake offer a romantic panorama and the food is just fantastic.

Our idea was very personal and surprising of course:

  • Private car service from the  hotel to the restaurant.
  • Enjoying the wine tasting in the cellar.
  • Candlelight dinner and delicious food on the terrace.
  • Private marriage proposal in a romantic corner.

Proposing abroad can be tricky but with my help it all can become very easy. I always let my clients become familiar with the location and so I did with Yair. I described the location and sent him a video and some photos to immagine the place. Giving that there are three floors in the restaurant I wanted to be very clear with my proposal idea. Once we agreed upon the plan, we awaited for the big day.

I had my photographer ready to capture magical moments. We started just like paparazzi.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the staff welcomed them and accompanied in the cellar to start with the wine tasting.

Right after the wine tasting with a professional sommelier, Yair and Tal moved two floors up on the terrace and enjoyed their romantic dinner overlooking the lake.

While they were having dinner, I was sitting one floor below, checking the situation with the restaurant staff. Once they finished their menu, the waiter brought them a piece of paper that was saying to go downstairs and enjoy the restaurant’s dessert speciality in the special place. This was also the moment to bring Tal in a private area where Yair would propose. And so he did!

Tal was so happy and joyful to share the moments and I couldn’t be more overjoyed and extremely grateful to receive this extraordinary smile that filled my heart with happiness.

I must say how happy I am to meet so wonderful people from all over the world. I can see love with no limits and all that you can do to express it in many ways. Surprising your loved ones brings something very original to the relationship and keeps the memories forever. I’m sure there is no woman who wouldn’t appreciate the moments like this.
