Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know about proposing in Malibu

What does The Heart Bandits proposal planning experience include?

Every experience includes full planning and coordination, venue selection (or your preferred location), timeline + itinerary creation. Our Malibu Proposal Planners make sure all of the elements included in your proposal package are all handled. You just show up and propose.

What sets you apart from other proposal planning companies?

We’re a family-owned and operated company, and we don’t outsource our proposals to assistants or “team members.” Every single proposal is personally planned by an owner with over 16 years of experience. We also pioneered the modern proposal planning industry while many companies today follow the model we created. Most importantly, we’re known for our exceptional customer service and for truly caring about every proposal as if it were our own.

Why should I hire a Malibu proposal planner?

Because it makes everything stress-free. We handle the planning, decor, photographer, timing, and logistics so all you have to do is show up, enjoy the moment, and propose.

What should I bring on the day-of the proposal?

Just yourself (and your partner)! We handle setup, proposal elements, timing, and coordination. If you have special items (like a sentimental object, thin engagement ring box, or handwritten note), feel free to bring them as well.

Can I customize an experience or combine elements from multiple proposal ideas?

Yes. All packages can be customized with enhancements like professional photography, videography, live musicians, florals, signage, and more.

Do you provide photography and/or videography?

Yes! Most couples add photography or videography to capture the moment. You’ll receive professional edited images and/or video deliverables depending on your package and add-ons. We even have the option of a content creator.

Are guests allowed to attend my proposal?

Yes! You can include guests in your plan (up to venue capacity limits). Let us know how many people will attend and we’ll plan accordingly.

What if I need to reschedule or cancel?

Our proposals are final sale due to the time and work dedicated to securing venues, vendors, and permits. However, we do offer rescheduling options when possible. Please review the terms in your contract or contact your Malibu Proposal Planner for details.

Do you work with local vendors in Malibu?

Yes! We partner with top photographers, musicians, florists, and venues across Malibu. We only work with vendors experienced in proposal execution and timeline management so your experience is seamless.

What happens if the weather is bad?

You have options. Depending on the package, you can reschedule, but we also understand that many clients are visiting Malibu and may not have that flexibility. If your proposal needs to happen as planned, we’ll explore all alternatives including moving to a covered location, switching to one of our indoor venues (if available), or setting up at a venue you provide.

What are the best spots to propose in Malibu?

Malibu has no shortage of stunning proposal backdrops from beautiful beaches to luxurious private estates. We can help you pick the perfect spot to match your love story, or design something completely custom.

Do I need a permit to propose at a public Malibu location, like the beach or a park?

Many public spots in Malibu require a permit for photography or larger setups. We handle all permitting and logistics for you, so you don’t have to worry about navigating local regulations. You just show up and propose.
