FAQ

Questions, answered.

We don't sell a generic proposal. We design an experience built around your story. That is why pricing, add-ons, and payment are flexible by design.

Planning & Booking

How far in advance should I book?+

Most couples reach out 8–16 weeks ahead. Custom story-driven experiences benefit from 3–4 months. I do occasionally take last-minute proposals if my calendar allows. Just ask.

What's your typical pricing?+

Experiences start from $800 USD and scale up depending on the setting, the story, and the add-ons chosen. The base price covers the design, planning, coordination, styling, florals, and the experience itself. Photography, video and music are chosen separately as add-ons, because every couple builds their experience differently.

What are the add-ons?+

Photography from $500 USD (two-hour session, edited gallery within 10 days). Videography from $800 USD (highlight reel or mini-film). Live music from $500 USD (45 minutes, violinist, guitarist, mariachi, or saxophonist). These are starting prices for the most-requested add-ons; I can quote extended coverage on request.

How does payment work?+

50% at booking reserves the date and lets me lock in the photographer, florals, venue and vendors on your behalf. The remaining 50% is due 7 days before the proposal. Bank transfer, wire, or Stripe link.

Do you offer payment plans?+

Yes. the second 50% can be split into 2 or 3 installments leading up to the date.

What if I need to reschedule?+

Free reschedule with 14+ days notice. Inside 14 days, I'll do everything I can to move vendors with you.

The Day Of

What if it rains?+

I plan for weather from the very beginning. Based on the season and the month you're proposing, I recommend the location that gives you the best, most weather-proof setting from the start, so rain is far less likely to be a factor. For outdoor experiences I also watch the forecast in the days leading up, and we confirm together before the day.

How do you keep the surprise from my partner?+

We use a code phrase, a fake itinerary, and zero paper trail in your room. I have done this many, many times.

Can my partner have any food restrictions?+

Of course. If your experience includes a private chef, just send me a note in your inquiry (vegan, gluten-free, allergies, dislikes) and the chef builds the menu around it. If you didn't book a chef, I'll give you a personal list of restaurants that suit your dietary needs, perfect for celebrating right after the proposal.

What if my partner is shy / doesn't like big productions?+

Then you've come to the right planner. My favorite proposals are the quiet ones. We scale the experience to your story, not the other way around.

Logistics

Do you arrange transportation?+

Yes. I arrange private transfers to and from your hotel as part of coordinating your experience. The arranging is included; the transportation fare itself is quoted separately so you only pay for what your route actually costs.

Do I need to be a hotel guest somewhere?+

No. I work with couples staying anywhere from boutique hotels to vacation rentals to nothing at all.

What if we're flying in just for this?+

I help with hotel recommendations and a soft itinerary for the days around it.

Do you work with same-sex couples?+

Absolutely yes. Many of my favorite proposals.

About Olivia Ortiz

Do you plan weddings or other events?+

I don't plan weddings or other events, and that focus is deliberate. The proposal is the one moment I have spent twelve years perfecting. That said, I know the wedding world personally: I planned my own spiritual wedding in the Dolomites in Italy in 2022, and my husband and I married civilly in 2025. So if a wedding is your next step, I offer my couples a 45-minute conversation on where to begin, plus my personal list of trusted recommendations: wedding planners, venues, photographers, videographers, and more. I help you start. I just don't plan the wedding itself.

Why does pricing vary by couple?+

Because every experience is custom to the couple, not a fixed package. The base price covers the design and the experience itself; the rest depends on the setting, the scale of the story, and the add-ons you choose.

Are you bilingual?+

Yes, Spanish and English, fluently.

Still have questions?

Send me a note. I respond within 4 hours.
