I'm Olivia Ortiz. I plan proposals in Puerto Vallarta.

I studied Multicultural Relations at Universidad de las Américas Puebla. The program combined anthropology, sociology, international relations, negotiation, business, and the study of cultural diversity.

Anthropology had the strongest influence on the way I think. It taught me to look at human decisions within their social and cultural context. I became interested in what people value, how they communicate, and why certain places, objects, songs, and traditions become important in their lives.

I later moved to Moscow, where I completed my master's degree and worked for three years at the Embassy of Mexico in the Cultural Affairs Office. My work involved representing Mexico in a different cultural environment and supporting projects that connected people through art, history, and culture.

Living abroad also made me more aware of the differences in how people understand relationships, hospitality, celebrations, and romance.

After returning to Mexico, I moved to Puerto Vallarta and began working in boutique hospitality.

During the following decade, I worked in hotel operations, guest experience, sales, revenue management, and short term rental management. I coordinated employees, vendors, reservations, transportation, private dinners, special occasions, and guest requests.

This work taught me to plan around real conditions. Timing, access, privacy, weather, transportation, hotel policies, and vendor communication can all affect a proposal.

It also gave me practical knowledge of Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay. I know the hotels, restaurants, neighborhoods, beaches, transportation routes, and many of the local professionals involved in producing an event.

I have always enjoyed bringing people together.

I plan parties at home, birthday dinners, surprises, and celebrations for the people close to me. I like creating a concept, organizing the details, making playlists, thinking about the food, and finding references that mean something to the person being celebrated.

Friends and family eventually began asking me to help plan their marriage proposals. Later, friends of friends started contacting me too.

Most of them wanted something personal but did not know where to start. They needed help finding a location, coordinating vendors, keeping the plan secret, and turning their ideas into an experience that made sense for their relationship.

I helped because I enjoyed doing it. Por amor al arte.

After years of working in hospitality, helping with proposals, and planning my own wedding, the people around me encouraged me to create Puerto Vallarta Proposals.

My first conversations with a client are about the couple.

I ask how they met, what they enjoy doing together, which memories they return to, what kind of humor they share, and what their partner would actually enjoy. I also ask about their personality, because some people love a big reveal and others would feel uncomfortable being watched.

These details help me decide how the proposal should unfold.

My work can include photographs, music, letters, voice recordings, meaningful dates, travel memories, family references, or plans the couple has discussed for the future. I use what is relevant and leave out what feels forced.

The design comes later. The flowers, lighting, furniture, location, and photography should support the idea and suit the couple.

I enjoy reading about anthropology, sociology, psychology, and human behavior. I am interested in how our environment, culture, family, and social expectations influence the way we think and make decisions.

I also like data, strategy, technology, and planning. This is a large part of my hotel work and it shapes the way I organize proposals.

I pay attention to the creative idea and to the practical details. I think about the route, timing, lighting, vendor arrival, privacy, communication, and what we will do if part of the plan changes.

These interests also guide the articles I write for this website. My blog explores proposals as social rituals, the influence of trends and social media, cultural ideas about romance, and the difference between personalization and decoration.

I bring over a decade of experience in Puerto Vallarta hospitality and property operations.

I have worked with guests, hotel teams, restaurant staff, photographers, florists, musicians, boat operators, drivers, and other local vendors. I understand how these businesses operate and what information they need to execute a plan correctly.

I also understand how easily a surprise can be exposed. A hotel employee can mention the reservation, a vendor can arrive too early, or a visible setup can reveal the location.

I plan for those details and remain involved throughout the process. I speak with the client, develop the concept, coordinate the vendors, and supervise the proposal.

Puerto Vallarta Proposals specializes in marriage proposals.

I do not offer weddings or general event planning through this company. The proposals I accept are planned and coordinated by me.

Keeping the service focused allows me to give each couple the time required for interviews, research, concept development, vendor coordination, and on-site execution.

Each proposal begins with a different couple and a different story. The goal is to create something that feels natural to them and works well in Puerto Vallarta.

You bring the ring. I handle everything else.
