What no one tells you about becoming a Romantic Event Planner & a Proposal Planner…

When most people think about event planning, they imagine glamorous parties, beautiful weddings or perfectly orchestrated celebrations. While that’s true, there’s so much more to this career - especially when it comes to romantic event planning. It isn’t just about pretty decorations and sticking to timelines; it’s about crafting unforgettable moments, designing experiences that tell love stories, and leave a lasting impact on your clients’ lives. 

If you’ve ever dreamed of a career where creativity meets meaning, romantic event planning may be the perfect path - but there are a few insider truths that no one usually talks about. Let’s explore them and show why this career is so incredibly rewarding. 

First thing first, what is Romantic Event Planning & Proposal planning

A romantic event planner is someone who focuses on organising intimate events, typically for couples looking to celebrate a big moment. An example of a romantic event could be an anniversary or a special date night. Of course within this umbrella also comes the niche of proposal planning. This is often the most popular romantic event clients will ask for you to plan. We recommend offering both as a service because this way you can get return clients. When you plan someone's proposal you will usually get to know the couple's love story intimately and because you become such an integral part of their special moment they will likely wish to organise other events together such as a birthday date.

What you need to know when becoming a romantic event planner & a proposal planner

Its Exciting, Creative and Always Unique

We'll start with the good stuff - romantic event planning & proposal planning is full of surprises and that’s part of the magic. Each project is completely unique because every couple has a story, personality, and vision of romance that’s entirely their own. One week you might design a dreamy rooftop proposal with twinkling fairy lights and then next you could be curating an intimate picnic on a secluded beach. 

The beauty of this work is that no two days or two clients - are ever the same. You get to flex your creativity, experiment with fresh ideas, and constantly evolve your style. For anyone who thrives on variety, innovation and designing memorable experiences, this is a dream career that keeps your imagination alive. We always say - you never know the next brief that will come knocking on the door and that's extremely exciting!

You’ll Need More Than Just Creativity

While Romantic Planning is an incredibly creative field, it also requires organisation, strategic thinking and people skills. You are not just a designer - you’re a planner, problem solver, and a guide who turns it all into a reality. 

Some key abilities you’ll need to become a proposal planner & romantic event planner: 

• Problem solving always: Every event has their challenges so you'll need to approach them with calm confidence.

• Communication skills: You’ll need to clearly convey your ideas, listen to clients’ needs and collaborate with all different types of suppliers seamlessly. 

• Organisation: From timing to budgets to details, keeping everything coordinated is essential. 
• Discretion and empathy: Many romantic events are surprises, so you’ll become skilled at reading emotions and also maintaining the secret until the reveal - sometimes you even have to act. 

The great news is, all these skills can be learned with knowledge and practice. The Romantic Event Academy is the first step to mastering your dream career and starting a business all about Romantic Events! 

Flexibility That Fits Your Life

Romantic events and proposals don’t always happen between the traditional 9-5 working hours, and that’s a wonderful part of the job. Proposals, anniversaries, and intimate celebrations can often take place in the evenings, weekends but you can work towards timelines and flexibility that works well for your schedule or lifestyle.

While it may require careful planning and time management, the freedom to choose your projects, set your hours and work in a way that supports your personal life is empowering. Many planners find that this allows them to balance creativity, work, and personal commitments in a way that feels fulfilling and sustainable. 

Niche Market Full of Opportunity

Romantic event planning, especially proposal planning, remains a niche within the broader events industry. This means there’s an incredible opportunity to stand out and be able to build a strong brand and reputation for yourself - that reflects your unique style. Unlike traditional weddings or corporate events, the competition is lower and clients are looking for planners who can provide highly personalised, thoughtful experience. By focusing on this niche, you can become an expert, which will grow your client base quickly and allow you to sculpt out your dream career that’s exciting, meaningful and in demand. 

What it takes to succeed when becoming a proposal planner & romantic event planner:

To succeed as a romantic event planner, you’ll need a combination of creativity, organisation, emotional intelligence and determination. This career allows you to:

• Dream up experiences that feel personal, unforgettable and magical
• Plan and execute every detail with precision 
• Stay calm and positive under pressure
• Communicate effectively with clients, vendors and venues
• Build strong relationships that inspire trust and loyalty 
• Work not just on the event side of things but also on the business itself

Romantic event planning and proposal planning  is exciting, meaningful, and deeply rewarding. While it requires hard work, the joy you bring to your clients and the creativity you get to express every day makes it an incredible and fulfilling career.
