A Luxury Picnic Surprise Proposal at Sunset Cliffs, San Diego
On December 30, we received a proposal inquiry from Nate, who was looking to plan a creative and intimate surprise proposal in San Diego. After reviewing our work and reviews, he trusted us to help bring his vision to life. Through a detailed phone call, customized planning, and the debut of our upgraded luxury picnic setup, we curated an experience designed specifically for him and Ashley. From personalized snacks and games to a carefully styled picnic overlooking the ocean at Sunset Cliffs, every detail was intentional. When they arrived, they walked into their forever as the sun set behind them. Moments like these remind us why luxury surprise proposals should feel effortless, personal, and unforgettable.
From Concept to “Forever”
On December 30, we received a submission from Nate asking if we were available on January 4. His message was simple, intentional, and clear: he wanted help creating a surprise proposal in San Diego that felt creative, intimate, and deeply personal.
He had spent time reading through our reviews and exploring our past work. By the time he reached out, he already felt we’d be the right fit. That kind of trust matters to us, and it’s something we never take lightly.

Without hesitation, we picked up the phone and called Nate. For moments like this, conversations matter more than emails. Over the call, he shared his vision and told us he was especially drawn to our proposal picnic setup.
At the time, we were offering our Version 1 picnic. It featured a smaller table, lighter floral styling, and leaned more toward a casual picnic feel. But behind the scenes, we had been actively working on evolving our setup into something more luxurious, elevated, and intentional, something that felt like a true experience rather than just decor.
Before the big day, we did what we always do when testing something new. We took our upgraded setup to our neighborhood park and ran a full trial. We styled it, photographed it, and reviewed every detail. Once we felt confident, we sent the photos to Nate and asked for his honest feedback. He loved it.
In the days leading up to the proposal, Nate filled out one of our customization forms. We learned about him and Ashley, their favorite games, snacks, and drinks. Those details became the foundation of the experience. We personally picked everything up and curated the setup so it felt like them, not a generic picnic. This is what defines our luxury picnic surprise proposal experience in San Diego. It’s not about excess. It’s about intention.
On the day of the proposal, we arrived early at Sunset Cliffs, set everything up, and waited. When Nate and Ashley arrived, they walked straight into their forever. The ocean, the sunset, the quiet moment, and the question that changes everything. We captured it all. After the “yes,” they stayed, played their favorite game, enjoyed the picnic, and let the moment sink in.
These moments never feel routine to us. Even after doing this many times, it feels like a first every single time. Watching a couple walk away smiling, lighter, and fully present is the best feedback we could ever receive.
This experience marked the official beginning of our full luxury picnic proposal setup. More curated. More intentional. Designed around you.
If you’re dreaming of a surprise proposal at Sunset Cliffs or a luxury picnic proposal in San Diego, this is exactly how it should feel.
Final Thoughts
What made this proposal special wasn’t just the location, the sunset, or the picnic itself. It was the intention behind every choice. From the first phone call to the final setup at Sunset Cliffs, everything was built around trust, communication, and care.
This experience reinforced why we do things the way we do. We don’t offer one-size-fits-all proposals. We listen, we test, we refine, and we customize until it feels right. Nate trusted us with one of the most important moments of his life, and that trust allowed us to create something elevated, personal, and unforgettable.

How It Compares: Luxury Picnic Companies vs. Our Experience
Most picnic companies offer:
Setup only
Limited time window
No photography included
No day-of coordination support
No sneak-peeks or prints
No timeline or cover-story guidance
Typical pricing in San Diego for picnic-only setups:
$300–$600 for the setup alone (2 hours)
No photos
No planning guidance
No gallery delivery
No prints
To get a similar outcome, you'd have to book:
✓ A picnic company
✓ A photographer (usually $500+ for 30–60 minutes)
✓ Someone to plan logistics & timing
✓ Someone to help keep the surprise intact
✓ Someone to guide you at the cliffs
✓ Someone to coordinate and communicate day-of
And that's assuming everyone shows up on time and works smoothly together.
Suddenly you're looking at
$900 – $1,400+
for the same result… but with way more stress.
