Makinde surprised Alimah with a dreamy sunset proposal on an exclusive Shangri-La terrace overlooking the Eiffel Tower.
The swoon-worthy setting was worthy of a princess, with countless flickering candles, breathtaking floral arrangements, and a master saxophonist creating the perfect ambiance for Makinde to gaze deeply into Alimah’s eyes and celebrate love.
Makinde took plenty of time before kneeling to ask his soulmate to marry him. He placed a massive pear-shaped diamond ring on Alimah’s finger before they shared a timeless kiss of poetry and passion.
And while their butler began dinner preparations, the couple kicked things up a notch, dancing the deep-blue night away with freshly chilled French Champagne.

Should I hire a proposal planner for my Shangri La Paris engagement?
The short answer is: absolutely yes.
Sure, if you are resourceful and don’t mind researching and negotiating with local French vendors from thousands of miles away and across time zones, you can plan a marriage proposal independently. In that case, we have an excellent step-by-step Paris proposal guide waiting for you.
Pulling off a destination proposal in Paris typically entails more hand-holding and coordination than a local engagement.
So, it’s an excellent investment to hire a Paris-based expert who knows the best vendors and is familiar with the Shangri-La Hotel—someone who’ll take the time to understand your vision and masterfully handle any problem that arises with grace.
In short, a trusted partner who will manage everything for you. That translates into comforting peace of mind with no stress. All you need to do is show up and have the time of your life.
The Shangri La Paris proposal packages outlined above are merely two popular options.
No two couples are the same, so you can modify either package as you see fit. Upon demand, we are happy to add any of the following services:
- Room/suite embellishment for your first night as newly engaged;
- scavenger hunt proposal ideas;
- additional musicians;
- lighting;
- personal shopping assistant
