When the WeddingDates office got wind of a U.K. business who help plan amazing proposals for couples, we just had to find out more! The Proposers was set up in 2012 by\u00a0Daisy Amodio, when\u00a0Daisy\u2019s brother asked for some female guidance when proposing to his now wife, a light bulb lit-up in Daisy\u2019s head.\u00a0Daisy has now set up the first Proposal Planning company in the UK and Europe! Two years later she has her own TV show about The Proposers, has completed over 200 marriage proposals and expanded globally.<\/em><\/p>\n

We talked to Daisy about her amazing business, her favourite proposals and if she still cries at the romantic engagements.<\/em><\/p>\n

When did you set up The Proposers?<\/h2>\n
“2012 in the middle of the recession. Some people said I was mad, BUT I was passionate and knew I could make it work.”<\/div>\n

Where did the idea come from to set up The Proposers?<\/h2>\n

“THERE WAS SO MANY SIGNS THAT I WAS TO EMBARK ON THIS JOURNEY. My brother had asked me to arrange his proposal as he had no clue how to propose. Not only did I arrange it but I also negotiated a \u00a31000 off the ring. I thoroughly enjoyed this process, it was a heart-warming thing to help with.<\/p>\n

A year later, a friend and I were walking through Hyde Park in London when we stumbled across a guy trying to spell \u2018MAKE ME THE HAPPIEST MAN ALIVE\u2019 in little tea-lights. However he had spelt \u2018happiest\u2019 wrong, and me being a stickler for spellings, ran over to let him know. We then proceeded to help him light all the candles and offered to take pictures of the moment from behind a tree. So we did, he proposed, they have pictures that will last forever, and afterwards he said \u2013 \u2018YOU LITERALLY SAVED MY PROPOSAL \u2013 thank you\u2019<\/p>\n

After that I researched and spotted a gap in the market and that was it \u2013 The Proposers was born.”<\/p>\n

What services do The Proposers provide?<\/h2>\n
\n

“We offer a range of services.:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Need an idea \u2013 Some people have no clue how to propose but want something truly unique to them. So we find out all about them and create bespoke ideas that have never-been-done before. We can help as little or as much as possible. From the ideas to full execution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Have an idea \u2013 Some people have a great idea but they just don\u2019t know how to execute it, or maybe they don\u2019t want to worry about it \u2013 its stressful enough saying those four famous words. We do all the negotiating, book, make, plan the entire thing and even be there on the day to make sure everything runs smoothly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • Popular Proposals \u2013 Over the years we\u2019ve created some cracking proposals that new clients enquire about. This package means they can select an idea and then we\u2019ll personalise it to them. It\u2019s great for clients who have decided to propose as soon as possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
        • Romance Concierge \u2013 We gain the trust from our clients and they come to us for their birthdays, anniversaries etc. We plan any romantic event. We realised that going to a restaurant every year for your anniversary is predicable, so we can help create something memorable and unique to blow their socks off.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \"The<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
          \n

          Who was your first client?<\/h2>\n

          “Our first proposal was weirdly a guy from Hong Kong. We have never been to Hong Kong so we had our work cut-out for us. But nothing stops us creating someone\u2019s special moment. We worked around the clock to research and negotiate and plan the perfect proposal. It was a success and our client and his new fianc\u00e9 were over the moon.”<\/p>\n

          \"The<\/p>\n

          How do you find new clients? Word of mouth?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
          \n

          “It\u2019s all about having a unique idea and if it\u2019s different then people want to talk about. We have literally been in every national newspaper and TV\/radio interviews right around the world. I think there\u2019s so many horrible things in the press these days that journalists like a nice story and EVERYTHING WE DO HAS A HAPPY ENDING.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

          \"The<\/p>\n

          Congratulations, on your new TV show! How did this come about, were you over the moon?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
          \n

          “Thank you. It\u2019s amazing to know that my little idea to help create unique moments in a couples life has taken off so much that it\u2019s now on TV for the world to see. Every time the press talked about us, a new production company would contact us and say it would be a good show. 3 months later, we were filming a whole series. The show is very happy and funny but a real tear-jerker (happy tears of course). Here\u2019s a one minute clip of the show,\u00a0but you will be able to watch them all on our website from January.”<\/p>\n
