The best tips and suggestions for your magical Santorini marriage proposal
If you are planning on a Greece proposal and are considering what is the best place to propose in Greece - then look no further than Santorini, where an engagement can't get much better!
Here's all you need to know about wedding proposals in Santorini.
Why you should propose in Santorini
1. Breath-taking views
Santorini is our favourite Greek island! With soaring cliffs, whitewashed houses and stunning beaches, it is definitely the perfect destination for a wedding proposal.
2. Picturesque architecture
One of Sanotrini's most famous attributes is the eye-catching and beautiful architecture! You will be sure not to miss the iconic whitewashed villages which are usually accompanied by blue doors and windows. White is now the trademark colour of the island, which is perfect for complimenting that beautiful, clear blue sky. Not to forget... the absolute perfect backdrop for your engagement pictures!
3. Unforgettable sunsets
The sunsets and clear blue sky will add that extra special touch to your Santorini marriage proposal! As you overlook the incredible island, the stunning red and orange tones will capture your attention as they shine over the stair-stepped buildings.
4. It's peacefulness
You can't find a more relaxed and calm island than Sanortini! The Greek island is famously known for their friendly nature and laid back attitude. It is true that during peak season the crowds arrive to the island, so we recommend proposing in a private location to really take in the moment!
5. Romantic island getaway
If you want a Santorini proposal... what better than flying her out to this exclusive island! Santorini is a perfect island for a romantic getaway! Whether it be on the relaxing beach or a dinner for 2 overlooking the incredible views... your partner is sure to say yes! We couldn't think of anything more romantic that a surprise trip to a Greek Island!
Santorini Proposal Ideas - Below are some of the Best Places to Propose in Santorini
Private terrace with a view - Santorini Proposal Package
Our most popular Santorini proposal package is by far is the private terrace with a view. Find a secluded location to watch the famous sunsets, and you've found one of the most romantic places to propose in the world.
The best location to watch the sunset is Oia, we'll decorate a beautiful private terrace for you to make it your own romantic hideaway. We can also offer private dining experience so you can continue the celebration.
If you're looking for something different then these are three proposal ideas that we love for summer 2024.
Cliff Top Wedding Proposal in Santorini
Imagine proposing on top of a beautiful cliff top with amazing views overlooking the Aegean Sea and the caldera. Obviously with a cliff top the decoration options will potentially be limited, but we love the idea of a cliff top Santorini proposal.
Wine Tasting Marriage Proposal
One of our newest, and most popular, proposals in London is the wine tasting proposal, it's very popular among couples who are looking for a fun day or night out. Santorini has some truly beautiful vineyards and they make for an epic backdrop to your proposal, while giving a fun day out at the same time. And if that wasn't enough, one of the most popular features is that the bottles will reveal the words "Will You Marry Me" for the ultimate surprise.
Beach engagement proposal in Santorini
While beaches are public in the island there are many secluded spots that can be perfect for the big question, that is why we love a beach proposal here. There are many types of beaches so you are spoilt for choice, from a black sand beach to a beach with dramatic cliffs. We love organising a picnic setup for extra romance.
Yacht Proposal
If you want something truly romantic and private then a yacht proposal across the Aegean Sea could be for you. Take off on your own private yacht and see the sunset from the sea. We can also decorate the yacht and have private local musicians on board to burst into song as you drop down on one knee.
Our Favourite Santorini Proposals
Trae and Kyra
When American Footballer Trae Wayne contacted us to help plan a proposal in paradise, our team were more than happy to help! We set up Trae’s Santorini Proposal, where the roof terrace gave Trae and his girlfriend, Kyra, privacy and met all of Trae's requirements.
Our Proposal Planners thought about every little aspect of the decor, including the beautiful floristry - covering the entire cabana in beautifully bloomed sunflowers (Kyra's favourite flower), with the sun setting over the Greek island.
Trae wanted music to accompany his proposal, so our proposal planners hired a group of traditional Greek musicians to serenade him and Kyra. As the sun set over the Greek island, Trae brought the loves of his life Kyra and their beautiful daughter Kayla to La Maltese’s rooftop. Kyra could not hold her tears back when Trae got down on one knee.
Kenneth and De'arra
Kenneth came to us knowing that he wanted to ask the big question to his partner De'arra on his holiday in Santorini, but didn't know where was best to do it.
We decorated a beautiful private roof terrace for the couple to enjoy the sunset in their own private romantic getaway. We also organised a proposal photographer and videographer on hand to capture their special moment.
Kenneth gave us this amazing feedback - "Thanks again for the amazing moment and all the help you guys provided to make my proposal the best I could hope for".
Gurpreet and Gurleen
When Gurpreet came to us to plan his Santorini proposal, we set out to find the perfect location for Gurpreet to pop the question to his beautiful girlfriend, Gurleen! Before sunset, Gurpreet and Gurleen arrived at Sophia Luxury Suites, as they arrived Gurleen was shocked to see a beautifully decorated venue! The exclusive space was decorated with twinkling candles, rose petals, lanterns, stunning fresh flowers, all over that breath-taking view.
Overlooking the incredible views, Gurpreet got down on one knee and proposed, while being serenaded with music from the Greek musicans, for a breathless Santorini proposal to Gurleen. After their wedding proposal and private Santorini proposal photoshoot, they enjoyed a romantic 3 course meal, to celebrate their engagement!
Here's a little snippet of Gurpreet and Gurleen's Santorini proposal!
Rakesh and Luciana
Rakesh wanted to surprise Luciana with a trip away and a romantic proposal, so we helped him to find the best location to propose in Greece. Santorini.
Luciana went for a walk along the boardwalk thinking she was “going for a drink” at a rooftop bar. Little did she know what Rakesh and The Proposers had waiting for her.
A beautiful private gazebo, LOVE light up letters and heart shaped candles. As the sun was setting music came on, and Rakesh went down on one knee overlooking the Aegean Sea and the caldera.
