Your Shangri-La proposal, dinner and first night
Shangri-La sits at a particularly flattering distance from the Eiffel Tower: close enough for it to feel grand behind you, with room to photograph the two of you in natural proportion. A private terrace, palace service, and a suite for the night bring three plans together: your proposal, your first dinner engaged, and your first night.
SETTING
Private Eiffel Tower terrace

Shangri-La proposal highlights
The question. A dinner for two. The first celebration.
Choosing your Eiffel Tower terrace suite
You reserve your terrace suite for the night. We help choose it for the Eiffel Tower view, your proposal setup and any guests joining you.
Check in together, then head out into Paris while we prepare the terrace. Dinner or drinks at the palace give your partner a reason to dress for the evening; we coordinate your return and the reveal with the hotel.

Dinner and your first night as fiancés
Your first dinner as fiancés. A private dinner, prepared by the hotel’s chefs, can follow on your terrace. While you step out for portraits, our team can reset the space for the two of you. We arrange the service, timing and weather plan with the hotel.
Your first night as fiancés. The suite is still yours. If you wish, perfectly chilled Dom Pérignon can be waiting for your return. With the right room, you can watch the Eiffel Tower sparkle from bed: one last toast together, to the life ahead.

What does a Shangri-La proposal cost?
Most full-service Shangri-La proposals start at €10,000 or more. The room or suite creates the largest price swing; differences between categories can reach five figures before production.
Your quote brings together the accommodation, hotel charges, flowers, photography and film, music, dining, transport and guest arrangements. Planning starts at €1,200 or 15% of the budget under management, whichever is greater.
Rates vary by category, date and season. There are no fixed Shangri-La package tiers. You approve the relevant costs before confirmation. Planning the rest of the day? Read our Paris proposal guide.

Shangri-La proposal questions
Can family join after the proposal?
Yes. Camelia’s family waited upstairs and joined her and Alex after the proposal. We plan the guest list and where everyone waits with the hotel so the surprise works for your room.
Can we have dinner on the terrace?
Yes. At Shangri-La, the hotel’s chefs can serve dinner on your terrace. We’ll help you choose a room that offers terrace dining for your date. Camelia and Alex had six places set while they were out taking portraits.
What happens if the weather changes?
We agree a weather plan with you and the hotel in advance. Depending on the booking, that may mean an approved indoor setup or a change to the schedule. Any alternatives and costs are confirmed in advance; indoor access, postponement and refunds are not automatic.
