Oahu, Hawaii, is known for its stunning natural beauty, perfect beaches, and warm tropical climate, making it the ideal backdrop for a proposal.

Scenario Number One

Perfect Restaurant Proposal

The first step is choosing where to go. It does not have to be a 5 Star Restaurant. Do you want to go Solo or include your family and friends? Some Couples prefer privacy and to be alone. Make a Reservation and talk to the Manager about your plans. Let the Restaurant help you. When is the right time to pop the question? At Desert would be the ideal time. Don't forget to open a bottle of Champaign in Celebration of the Occasion.

Scenario Number Two

The Perfect Beach Proposal

Many of my Client who are are planning to propose during their visit to Oahu have their own vision for the proposal and others are looking for advise. There is lots to consider when planning a proposal. Oahu has many beautiful seascape locations as a backdrop for your proposal, including Secret Beach, Waikiki Beach, Eternity Beach, Sandy Beach, Bellows Beach, Sunset Beach, and Waimea Bay, to name a few.
Some locations are private others are crowded. You can choose to propose at Sunrise or propose as the sun sets.

Oahu has many stunning and secluded waterfalls. Take your partner on a romantic hike to a hidden waterfall, where you can pop the question in a tranquil and peaceful setting.
