A: Yes, photographers are welcome. [Confirm with client whether any site access restrictions apply or if a preferred vendor list exists.]
Q: What happens if it rains?
A: The Private Indoor Proposal Experience is fully weather-proof — no compromise on romance, just a roof overhead. If you've booked the Garden Package and conditions change, contact us and we'll do our best to accommodate a switch.
Q: How do I keep the proposal a surprise?
