A huge thank you to the Heart Bandits for bringing my proposal to life. I was nervous about planning a proposal in a different country but Marvin, his wife and their team did a fantastic job working with the resort and the vendors. The execution was flawless and my fiance loved everything!! I would strongly recommend them for anyone looking to plan a magical proposal.

There are also many private event spaces that you can rent in the area that have gorgeous views.
Tanaka Farms
A little known area outside of OC but to locals, they love this location. It’s actually two different locations that have a variety of produce and amazing trail of large sunflowers. Take your partner on a photo shoot with the sunflowers and surprise them with a proposal surrounded by the lush greenery and floral.
On the Beach
Orange County is filled with beaches for you to choose from. You have surfer crowds in Huntington Beach, nature lovers of Bolsa Chica, and old world charm in San Juan Capistrano. Come up with a cool proposal concept that ties in your private memories and love stories and then create that concept at the beach.
