— ABOUT US 

ApoteoSurprise, the premier marriage proposal planner in Paris

Nicolas, a true lover of love!

 

As an aerospace engineer, I founded ApoteoSurprise in Paris in 2006, after being amazed to discover that there was no dedicated service anywhere in the world for planning marriage proposals.

 

It seemed unthinkable to me that such a pivotal moment — the marriage proposal, the most significant milestone in your love story — could be without specialized support.

A marriage proposal is far more than a mere formality: it represents the promise of an ideal future, the purest form of euphoria, and above all, the very essence of love.

 

It is the indescribable joy of finally being able to call the one you love "my fiancée" after hearing that simple yet immensely powerful word: "YES."

My time in Venice, where I spent nearly four years during my adolescence, left an indelible mark on my life. Every weekend, I watched couples kissing in gondolas beneath the Bridge of Sighs, which sparked my imagination and awakened in me the desire to create magical moments.

 

From my very first romances, my romantic and creative side came alive. So, with passion and determination, once I earned my engineering degree, I decided to put my creativity at the service of those who want to offer their beloved a true fairy tale.

 

Here’s a telling statistic: 80% of women feel disappointed by their marriage proposal when their partner plans it alone. This disappointment often comes from men feeling lost facing such a crucial and daunting moment. Paradoxically, for most women, this moment represents the fulfillment of their childhood dream of Prince Charming. For them, it’s simple: if Prince Charming doesn’t show up on proposal day, he never will!

 

To make sure your declaration of love is unforgettable and worthy of your beloved’s dreams, the expertise of a marriage proposal planner is essential.

 

For you, I have created surprise marriage proposal scenarios worthy of a movie—unique, fairy-tale experiences designed with one goal: to amaze your beloved! You alone will know every detail and secret of the scenario. In other words, at no point will your sweetheart suspect you turned to a proposal planner. Every detail is carefully crafted so that, in your beloved’s eyes, the romantic and creative hero is YOU.

An emotional peak during your marriage proposal

 

One of my secrets is knowing how to create a genuine emotional peak for each proposal package.

 

This expertise, honed over two decades of experience, is rooted in a deep understanding of women’s desires for romance and wonder.

 

Through careful orchestration, this emotional peak reaches its zenith at just the right moment: neither too early, since the magic needs time to build, nor too late, so the euphoria remains intense. This timeless moment is the perfect opportunity to make your proposal spectacular!

To evoke this emotional peak, each proposal package unfolds in three key stages:

1. SUSPENSE STEP: Build captivating anticipation and a sense of intrigue around the unknown that is about to unfold.
2. ROMANTIC STEP: Reassure your partner, helping her to lower her guard and fully divert her attention. This is when a "romantic bubble" forms, creating an authentic emotional lift.
3. CLIMAX: Unleash an avalanche of emotions worthy of the greatest films!

As for my other subtle and ingenious secrets, I reserve them for YOUR Paris proposal...
