so all you have to worry about is asking the big question.
This post will walk you through why destination proposals are trending, what makes
them special, examples of real packages, and insider tips for making yours as
unforgettable—and stress-free—as possible.
Why Destination Proposals Are Trending
A proposal abroad isn’t just about asking the question—it’s about creating a
once-in-a-lifetime memory. Here’s why so many people are planning them:
● Romance is built-in. The setting does half the work for you. Whether it’s a
Caribbean sunset, a secluded Mexican beach, or a private dinner under the
stars, the backdrop adds magic.
● It’s two milestones in one. You get to enjoy a romantic getaway and a
proposal story you’ll be telling forever.
● Resorts now make it easy. Proposal packages include things like décor,
dinner, champagne, and photographers—so you’re not scrambling to figure it
all out alone.
● It’s personal. By working with an advisor, you can add touches that make it
uniquely yours.
Common Proposal Planning Challenges
If you’ve thought about proposing abroad, you’ve probably worried about a few of
these things:
● How do I keep the ring hidden while traveling?
● What if the surprise gets ruined?
● How can I ensure the setup is truly private and romantic?
● What if I want something different from a standard package?
These are precisely the kinds of details I help my own clients with. From discreet
travel ring boxes to coordinating with resort staff without tipping off your partner, I
take care of the behind-the-scenes so you can focus on the moment that matters.

Insider Tip: Use Your Proposal as a Destination Wedding Scouting Trip
If all goes well with the proposal and your partner says “Yes!” which I’m sure they
will, or you wouldn’t be proposing in the first place, Ha!.
If you’re considering a destination wedding at all, take a day to visit some other
resorts in the area and set up meetings with the on-site wedding teams, as well as
get a feel for the property. That way, if you decide to return for your wedding, you’ll
already know the resort and the people who’ll help you plan your big day. It’s like
previewing your wedding venue in the most romantic way possible.
This may sound overwhelming, but it can be set up discreetly in advance. I help my
wedding clients set up pre-destination wedding trips all the time.
How to Make Your Proposal Stress-Free

Even with packages available, here’s how to ensure your proposal goes smoothly:
