How do you plan a surprise proposal at The Gwen Hotel?
Nakul’s proposal to Adam is the perfect example of how to plan a memorable surprise. He told Adam they were attending a company party at The Gwen, setting the stage for the big moment. With Audrey from The Gwen assisting in the setup, they transformed the terrace into a magical space for the proposal.
When they arrived at the hotel, Nakul led Adam toward the terrace instead of the reception area. There, the proposal setup awaited. A romantic and private moment for just the two of them. Nakul took Adam’s hands and asked him to marry him. Of course, Adam said yes!
What to do after a proposal at The Gwen Hotel?
The celebration doesn’t end with the proposal itself. After Adam said yes, we popped champagne and took photos around the beautifully decorated terrace. But Nakul had another surprise in store! He arranged for their closest friends to join them.
Using a code word to signal their arrival, we set up a magical reveal moment. Adam turned around to see their friends entering the terrace, adding another layer of joy to the evening. We captured group photos and toasted to their engagement, making the night even more special.
