Marriage Proposal at the Evermore Resort
Marriage Proposal at the Evermore ResortExclusive Resort proposal
We recently had the pleasure of helping one of our customers to arrange their marriage proposal at the Evermore Resort. Steven contacted me and asked me for some help in arranging this for him. He had already booked an unrelated stay with his girlfriend and some family members at the resort. This sparked the idea to combine the stay with a marriage proposal at the Evermore. After many years of dating, he wanted to make it official and of course extra special for her. He sent me some inspirational photos of what he was looking for and we customized a package for him.
What to Expect
Steven’s marriage proposal was held at the Boathouse beach area at the Evermore Resort. But almost any other resort or hotel is an option as long as they allow us to set up decorations on their premises. In most cases, especially at exclusive resorts and hotels, you must expect steeper rental fees. Of course, you can always opt out of decoration and plan a pop-up proposal. In this case, you may not have to pay a fee if you stay there. However, if you bring a professional photographer some resorts will require a photographer fee and liability insurance as well. Fees for booking a spot on resort premises can vary greatly. On average you are looking between $700 and over $2000 just for renting a space or location.
Planning a resort marriage proposal
Many of our customers are from out of State or flying in from Overseas to vacation in Florida. It is therefore a good idea to hire a professional planner to arrange everything for you, ensuring that all runs smoothly on your big day. For many grooms or brides-to-be, it isn’t easy to make those arrangements themselves and at the same time keep things a secret. What makes a resort proposal attractive? You won’t have to drive anywhere and most resorts offer upgrades like a romantic candlelight dinner, boat ride, or other activities following the event. Many hotels will also provide a backup in case of inclement weather.
Back to Steven’s marriage proposal at the Evermore
It was the first time that Steven hired a professional planner. Since he is living out of State it would have been extremely challenging to plan this without some help. Steven had already booked the accommodations at the resort so he handled the pre-booking of the area where the proposal will take place. He was a bit surprised by the rental fee, but at high-end resorts, it is to be expected. Certainly, if you need help with securing the location we are happy to do so. The Evermore like many other hotels requires liability insurance from every service provider involved and will provide a location coordinator. He emailed me some inspirational photos of the decorations he was looking for. He wanted an aisle lined with cylinder vases with candles, petals, and lighted “marry me” letters. This setup is usually great for nighttime proposals but with time limitations at the resort we had to opt for an earlier proposal time before sunset.
On my arrival at the resort, I got lost and parked in the wrong area. Evermore Resort is a vast resort complex that offers visitors trolleys and shuttles to get around. I had already unpacked the truck and loaded my hand wagon with all the decorations when I found out that I was in the wrong spot. Luckily, I could jump on a trolley with all my equipment and hitch a ride to the boathouse. At the trolley stop, I was greeted by the hotel coordinator who showed me the spot Steven had chosen for his proposal.
I decorated the area with 125 real red roses, candles in cylinder vases, and the Marry Me letters overlooking the lagoon and boathouse. When I finished it looked so beautiful and the photos don’t do justice to how pretty the decoration was.
She said Yes!
At 7:00 PM Steven was waiting at the setup for his girlfriend Meagan. She was escorted there by a family member. She thought they were going for drinks at the bar. Well, what a surprise it was when she walked along the aisle to be proposed to. Steven fell on his knee and the rest is history. Meagan told me later with teary eyes, that she had no idea this was coming and was quite overwhelmed. Both loved the decorations and the beautiful location made this day truly special. After big hugs from the attending family and some group photos, we went to take more engagement photos in the surrounding area. The Evermore Resort is truly a one-of-a-kind hotel in Orlando and offers tons of activities throughout the day and night.
Congrats and all the best to the newly engaged couple.
