How much does a marriage proposal in Istanbul cost?
Most proposals we plan land between €450 and €2,500, depending on the setting. A candlelit waterside restaurant dinner starts around €499; a private sunset yacht with photographer and décor starts around €1,299; the full laser-show experience runs to about €2,499. We confirm an exact, itemised figure once we know your date and location.
Where is the best place to propose on the Bosphorus?
For most couples, a private yacht at sunset is the one — you get the skyline, the water and complete privacy in a single evening. Rooftops in Karaköy and waterfront restaurants in Ortaköy are close seconds. We match the setting to her personality once you tell us about her.
How far in advance should we book?
Two to three weeks is comfortable for most setups. Sunset yachts in summer book faster, so earlier is safer. If you are short on time, tell us your date anyway — we have arranged beautiful proposals in as little as 48 hours.
Can you photograph the moment without her knowing?
Yes. Our photographer is positioned discreetly beforehand, so the proposal is captured naturally from the ideal angle and she never spots a camera until it has already happened. Photography is included in most packages and can be added to any.
What happens if the weather turns?
Every plan has a quiet backup built in — a covered deck, an indoor table with the same view, or a shift of an hour or two. We watch the forecast in the days before and adjust with you so nothing is left to chance.
Do you handle the ring?
You bring the ring — we never take custody of it. On the day we walk you through exactly when and how it appears, and our photographer knows the cue, so the timing looks effortless.
Can you arrange flowers, music and champagne?
Yes — those are the details we live for. Flowers to her taste, a live musician or a curated playlist, champagne on ice, a cake, a personalised message. Tell us the feeling you want and we build the evening around it.
What languages do you work in?
We work with couples from all over the world and correspond in English. On the day, our team speaks with venues and staff in Turkish so you never have to.
How do we pay, and is a deposit required?
We confirm the plan first, then take a deposit to secure the date and vendors, with the balance before the day. Payment details are shared once your concept and figure are agreed.
What if she says the plan out loud — how do you keep it a surprise?
We keep all correspondence with you only, never her, and time our arrival and setup so she sees the finished scene, not the preparation. Discretion is the part we are quietly proud of.
