Proposals
Propose in Santorini Packages
Santorini is the island of love. Thousands of couples fall for each other here, and a great many of them get engaged on the caldera at sunset.
Santorini Wedding Proposal Planners
The caldera is the side of the island from which you can see the volcano, the famous sunset, and every property that happens to sit on that edge. One of the reasons Santorini is such a popular destination for proposals is simply the atmosphere it creates: the traditional lanes, the warm climate, and a sense of freedom that makes people feel better and more in love.
We offer proposal packages with low prices and high standards. Whichever one you choose, we handle the disguise, the location, the photographer, the champagne, and the restaurant reservation afterwards.
Prefer to design your own? Choose the services you want and we will build the package around them — that is the Surprise Me option, and it is the one most couples end up with.

Santorini Proposals — the island's dedicated proposal studio
Want the proposal itself designed by full-time specialists? Our trusted partners at Santorini Proposals have planned 327 cliff proposals and more than 1,750 ceremonies on the island since 1996 — from secret photographers to fireworks over the caldera.
How it works
The photoshoot is the disguise. It works every time.
A great and genuinely effective strategy for a proposal here is the photoshoot concept on the caldera. Because so many couples from all over the world book a photoshoot as an activity while in Santorini, it lets us disguise the actual plan — even if your partner might otherwise be suspicious. Sometimes we coordinate with your hotel to say that you won the photoshoot, in case you are not the kind of couple who would book one.
The plan. Once you have booked the date and time with us, you tell your loved one you have made a surprise booking. That makes sure you will both be dressed for it. On the day, the driver waits for you at your hotel and takes you to meet your photographer.
Meeting the photographer. At the first location the photographer greets you as though this is a casual couple shoot, and makes you feel comfortable enough to enjoy it. Casual pictures are taken on the caldera side with the blue domes of Imerovigli, reached on foot because the popular paths are walking-only. Then you head to the car for the second and final location.
The second location. This is the moment. For the proposal itself we suggest a place that is peaceful and full of natural beauty — well known but hard to reach, so we can hope for somewhere quieter for the actual question.
Your photographer arrives first, then your car. Because this spot is away from the hotels, we can be much freer with decoration and personalisation. One of our team can hand you a blindfold so you can lead your partner to the spot without them knowing what is happening — which also gives us time to make sure everything is ready. Many couples add flowers, candles, fountain fireworks, even music.
Our photographer positions themselves out of sight and captures the proposal from their own angle. After they say yes, our team brings the champagne and glasses. Afterwards the photographer takes you around the island to capture some engagement highlights. We are always flexible and happy to change the whole thing around your idea of the ideal proposal.

Before you book
Questions and Answers
How far in advance should we book a proposal?
As early as you can. Sunset slots at the best locations go first, and the private venues only hold one proposal per evening.
Will my partner suspect anything?
That is exactly what the photoshoot concept is for. So many couples book photoshoots in Santorini that it reads as a normal holiday activity. If needed, we coordinate with your hotel to say you won the shoot.
Can we add flowers, candles, fireworks or music?
Yes. Many couples add flowers, windproof candles arranged in a heart, fountain fireworks and a speaker for their own music. Tell us what you want and we will build the package around it.
What happens after the proposal?
The photographer takes you around the island to capture some engagement highlights. Afterwards we can drive you back to your hotel, or straight to a restaurant of your choice to celebrate.
