What Is Included in a Zan Events Proposal Package?

You have decided to propose in Zanzibar. Amazing choice. Now the question is: what exactly do you get when you book with Zan Events?

Here is the full breakdown — no hidden fees, no surprises, no fine print.

The Beach Setup

Every proposal takes place on our private stretch of Bwejuu beach at Zan Orient. This is not a public beach with tourists walking by. It is a secluded, palm-lined paradise that we prepare exclusively for you.

Your setup includes:

• A heart-shaped floral arrangement made with fresh tropical flowers (roses, frangipani, or seasonal blooms)
• A decorated pathway leading to the proposal spot
• Lanterns and candles for golden-hour or sunset proposals
• A "Will You Marry Me?" sign or personalized message
• Scattered rose petals on the sand

We customize every setup based on your preferences. Want something minimal and elegant? Done. Want maximum drama with a red carpet on the beach? We have done that too.

Professional Photography

This is the moment you will want to relive forever. Our professional photographer captures the entire proposal — from the nervous walk to the beach, to the moment she says yes, to the celebration after.

You receive:

• A full photo session (proposal + couple portraits after)
• Edited, high-resolution digital photos
• Delivered within days of your proposal

Our photographer knows Bwejuu beach intimately — every angle, every light condition, every tide. The results are consistently stunning.

Private Dinner on the Beach

After the proposal, you do not just walk back to your hotel. We set up a private candlelit dinner for two right on the beach. This includes:

• A beautifully decorated table with white linen, flowers, and candles
• A multi-course dinner with fresh seafood and local cuisine
• Wine or champagne to toast the moment
• Blue lanterns surrounding your table on the sand

The dinner takes place at Zan Orient, with the sound of waves and the Indian Ocean as your backdrop. It is the most romantic dinner you will ever have.

Full Coordination

You do not need to worry about a single detail. From the moment you message us, we handle:

• Planning the timeline and logistics
• Coordinating with your hotel for the surprise
• Setting up the beach while you keep your partner distracted
• Making sure everything is perfect before you arrive

We have done this hundreds of times. We know how to keep the secret, manage the timing, and create a moment that feels effortless — even though every detail is carefully planned.

Optional Add-Ons

Want to make it even more special? We offer:

• Drone photography and video
• Live musician (guitar or local Taarab music)
• Custom flower arrangements
• Spa treatments for two after the proposal
• Sunrise or moonlight proposal setups

What Is NOT Included

We believe in transparency. Here is what is not part of the standard package:

• Accommodation (we recommend nearby boutique hotels and can help you book)
• Flights and airport transfers (though we can arrange transfers)
• The ring (that one is on you)

How to Book

It starts with a simple WhatsApp message. Tell us when you are coming, what vibe you want, and any special requests. We will create a custom plan and quote within 24 hours.

Most couples book 2–4 weeks in advance, but we have pulled off proposals with just 48 hours notice. When you have a dedicated team on the ground in Zanzibar, anything is possible.

FAQ

How much does a proposal package cost?

Pricing depends on the setup and add-ons you choose. Message us for a custom quote — there is no obligation.

Can you keep it a secret from my partner?

Absolutely. We coordinate everything discreetly, including working with your hotel to create a natural reason to visit the beach.

What if it rains?

We monitor the weather closely and have backup plans. If needed, we can move the setup to a covered beachfront area at Zan Orient without losing the magic.
