About
I'm Olivia. I plan proposals in Puerto Vallarta.
Chapter 01
The hotel years
I started in hospitality at 23, at the front desk of Amaca Hotel in Puerto Vallarta. Within two years I was concierge. By 2014 I had planned my first surprise proposal — a guest from Seattle who wanted to ask his girlfriend on the rooftop after dinner. I hid the ring in a wine glass. She cried. I was hooked.
Chapter 02
Eight years as Operations Manager
I spent the next eight years as Operations Manager at Amaca — running the floor, the vendors, the staff, and the calendar of a full boutique hotel. I planned dozens of private dinners and quietly orchestrated hundreds of surprise proposals for guests without their partners ever suspecting a thing. I learned the bay from every angle: every chef, every photographer, every lanchero, every florist.
Chapter 03
Por amor al arte
In my free time I started helping friends and family plan their proposals — purely for the love of it. The same pattern kept appearing: smart, well-traveled couples who didn't know where to begin, what to ask for, or which small detail would quietly unravel the moment. After enough of those conversations, and after producing my own wedding from start to finish, my friends — and the colleagues I'd worked with for a decade — pushed me to make this formal.
Chapter 04
What I bring
A decade of insider relationships with every boutique hotel, restaurant, photographer, lanchero, and florist in the bay. The operational discipline of eight years running a hotel — which is why nothing slips. The ability to stage a surprise inside a hotel without anyone tipping off the partner. A planner who actually plans, who is on-site, and who does not subcontract the most important moment of your life to a junior.
What I believe
A proposal is not a wedding. It needs a different kind of planner.
The story matters more than the spectacle.
Surprise is a craft, not luck.
I'd rather plan one perfect proposal a week than five rushed ones.
The best proposals feel inevitable in retrospect.
