Should I hire a proposal planner for my Shangri La Paris engagement?
The short answer is: absolutely yes.
Sure, if you’re resourceful and don’t mind researching and negotiating with local French vendors from thousands of miles away across different time zones, you can plan a marriage proposal on your own. In that case, we have an excellent step-by-step Paris proposal guide ready for you.
Planning a destination marriage proposal in Paris typically requires more coordination and local support than a hometown engagement.
It’s a wise investment to hire a Paris-based expert who knows the best vendors and is familiar with the Shangri-La Hotel—someone who’ll take time to understand your vision and skillfully handle any issues that come up.
In short, a trusted partner who handles everything for you. That means comforting peace of mind with zero stress. All you need to do is show up and enjoy this incredible experience.
The Shangri-La Paris proposal packages above are simply two popular starting points. Here are more Paris engagement packages.
Since no two couples are alike, you can modify either package to fit your vision. We’re happy to add any of these services:

Why choose the Shangri-La Hotel Paris for your proposal?
The Shangri-La Hotel Paris stands out as one of the city’s premier proposal destinations for several compelling reasons.
Located in the prestigious 16th arrondissement, this ultra-exclusive hotel offers some of Paris’s most spectacular Eiffel Tower views. The hotel’s private terraces are perfect for stunning photographs with the Iron Lady as your backdrop.
As a former palace, the Shangri-La provides palace-level luxury service from the moment you arrive. The exclusive terraces offer prestige, privacy, and breathtaking views for romantic proposals and intimate private dining experiences.
The hotel’s commitment to privacy ensures your proposal remains undisturbed, while their experienced staff can coordinate with your professional proposal planner to support your vision.
Should I hire a Paris proposal planner for my Shangri-La engagement?
Yes, hiring an experienced proposal planner in Paris is highly recommended, especially for international couples planning destination events.
Planning your engagement from thousands of miles away presents real challenges. You must research, evaluate, negotiate, and coordinate with local Parisian vendors across different time zones while potentially managing language barriers and unfamiliar business practices and contracts.
A well-connected and caring Paris proposal planner offers several key advantages:
Local expertise — Deep knowledge of logistics and access to the most exclusive venues and vendors
Shangri-La connections — Established relationships with hotel staff and preferred vendor networks mean your planner can sometimes switch a suite, delay a dinner, and request other favors you could never secure on your own
Creative guidance — Fresh engagement ideas personalized to your vision and budget
Stress reduction — Handles negotiations, scheduling, and day-of coordination of timelines and production schedules
Problem solving — Immediate on-site support when issues arise (flight delays, weather surprises, heavy traffic, vendors calling in sick, etc.)
How much does a Paris proposal planner cost?
Our rates vary based on your specific proposal requirements, but you can generally expect approximately 15% of your total budget for professional planning services.
The final investment depends on several factors: the complexity of your vision, the number of moving parts, the overall scope, and the time commitment required from our planner and team. There is always a minimum planning fee.
We require a minimum planning retainer of €950 when you work with us, regardless of whether your Paris engagement is elaborate or straightforward.
For a personalized quote tailored to your specific needs, contact Chantelle directly.
Are you available for my preferred date(s)?
We recommend reaching out to us as soon as possible to secure your desired date.
Unlike a Paris couple photoshoot, where you mainly work with one photographer, a Paris proposal (or Paris elopement) at the prestigious Shangri-La Hotel requires careful timeline coordination and availability of an entire vendor team.
Popular time slots book quickly, especially evenings and holidays.
Should I book a room at the Shangri-La Hotel Paris?
Yes, booking an Eiffel Tower terrace suite is required when you plan to use one of the hotel’s private terraces for your proposal.
Beyond the requirement, staying at the Shangri-La offers significant advantages: ultimate convenience for your big day, the prestige of staying at a former palace, and an extraordinary luxury experience that extends your celebration beyond just the proposal.
What happens after I book my Shangri La Paris proposal?
After booking with us, you’ll immediately receive a confirmation with your requested Paris proposal package, date, and starting time(s). Our expert proposal planner, Chantelle, will contact you to kick preparations into high gear.
What payment methods do you accept and how do I book?
Booking with us is straightforward: a retainer payment (50% of your overall Shangri-La Paris proposal package) and a signed contract secure your preferred date, starting time, and vendor team.
We accept all major credit cards for convenient payment processing. If you choose to pay your remaining balance in cash, it’s due by your proposal day.
How do I cancel or reschedule?
It’s sometimes impossible to keep your appointment despite your best intentions.
We’ve seen it all, from airport disruptions and canceled flights to visa issues, strikes, health, pregnancy, job conflicts, and many other problems.
Yet, when you officially book your Shangri-La Paris proposal with us, we will lock in all key vendors (photographer, cinematographer, florist, etc.) for your date.
We ask you to communicate with us in real-time to help better find a solution (or reschedule) if necessary.
We do not provide any refund whatsoever on all services and products related to a Shangri-La proposal. Since you will have the option to book your suite directly with the Shangri-La, it’s up to you to reach out to the hotel as soon as you know of a potential change in your plans.
What if I can’t afford a palace hotel but still want a private Eiffel Tower rooftop proposal?
Yes—you can. Our Eiffel Tower Rooftop Proposal Package gives you exclusive access to a private terrace with direct Tower views, a romantic walk-in-ready setup, and 30 minutes of professional photography—starting from only €1,750.
