Our Story

You're proposing somewhere you don't know. We live here.

La Proposta is a small team based in Verona. We handle every detail so you just get on one knee.

Why We Exist

Here's what proposing abroad actually looks like.

You have the ring. You have the flights. You have absolutely no idea what comes next.

You can't research properly — she's right there. Every Google search is a risk. Every phone call, she might hear. Every tab you leave open, she might see.

So the most important moment of her life gets planned in stolen five-minute windows, with half the information, completely alone, in a city you've never been to.

We've seen this happen too many times. Men arriving in one of the most beautiful places in the world with the ring in their pocket and no plan — and proposals that could have been extraordinary ending up ordinary.

We decided to do something about it.

Local Knowledge

We live here. We know these places the way only locals do.

Not the tourist version. The real one.

We know the hidden courtyard with the Gothic staircase from 1447 that almost nobody knows exists. We know the rooftop where the light at golden hour is extraordinary for exactly 20 minutes. We know the photographer who knows how to disappear, the florist we've used for years, the restaurant that finds us a table, the violinist who plays and then quietly leaves before she notices.

You'd spend weeks trying to find all of this. We already have.

La Proposta exists so that the man proposing can be completely present for the most important moment of his relationship — not managing logistics, not worrying about lighting, not wondering if the photographer arrived. Just showing up and saying the words.

The Founder

Caterina.

She started La Proposta after moving to Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet. She watched couples being photographed and married in the same handful of tourist spots, while the most authentic corners of the city stayed hidden and undiscovered. So now she asks how you want the moment to feel — and builds it backwards from your answer. The place, the light, the flowers, the words on the paper.

Alongside her, a small trusted team handles operations, locations and photography — the same people on every proposal.

You're assigned one of us for your proposal — from your first message to the morning after she says yes. The same name every time, on WhatsApp, in your timezone when it matters.

Why Here

Why these four places.

Verona is home. Venice, Lake Garda and the Dolomites are all close by — and we know them well, especially the hidden spots. Old stone, water, olive terraces and mountains: four completely different moments.

Everyone knows these places. Almost nobody knows them at six in the morning, or from the courtyard you can only enter if someone lets you in. That's the difference between proposing in Venice and proposing somewhere in Venice that feels like it belongs to the two of you.

We know the spot where the light is extraordinary for exactly 20 minutes at sunset. We know the rooftop nobody else uses. We know the florist, the photographer, the violinist — all of them, personally.

That's what you're buying when you book La Proposta.Not a service. Local knowledge that took years to build.

You don't know Italy. We do.

From the first message to the morning after. One person on your case. Every detail handled.

You just get on one knee.
