What is The Proposal Suite by Layaz?

The Proposal Suite is New Zealand's first luxury engagement proposal experience that combines your bespoke Layaz ring with a fully styled proposal setting, photography, and planning support so you can focus on the moment and not the logistics.

How does The Proposal Suite work?

The Proposal Suite follows a simple four step journey. First we meet for a consultation, then we design and craft your engagement ring. Next we plan your proposal concept, location, and styling. Finally, our team coordinates the setup and captures the moment while you ask the question.

What is included in The Proposal Suite experience?

Each Proposal Suite experience includes a personalised proposal concept, venue or location guidance, styling and decor, florals, photography, and coordination on the day. Many clients also combine this with a bespoke engagement ring created by Layaz.

How much does an engagement proposal with Layaz cost?

Proposal Suite experiences typically start from around 3000 NZD, depending on the complexity of the setup, location, and services you choose. We tailor each proposal to your vision and budget and provide transparent estimates during your consultation.

Can I plan my proposal from overseas?

Yes. Many of our clients live overseas and travel to New Zealand to propose. We coordinate everything remotely through video calls and email so that when you arrive, your proposal experience is planned and ready.

What proposal experiences does Layaz offer?

We offer a range of experiences including intimate private proposals, scenic outdoor setups, city skyline moments, and fully styled luxury concepts with florals, candles, and cinematic details. Every experience is customised to your story.

How far in advance should I book The Proposal Suite?

We recommend booking at least six to eight weeks in advance so we can align your proposal date with ring production timelines, venue availability, and vendor coordination. Shorter timelines may be possible, depending on our schedule.

Can I customise my proposal setup?

Yes. Every element of The Proposal Suite can be tailored to you. We work with you on colours, florals, signage, music, and finer details so the environment feels personal and meaningful.

What are some popular proposal locations in New Zealand?

Popular locations include coastal spots around Auckland, vineyards in Matakana, viewpoints in Queenstown, and romantic city settings. We guide you on choosing a location that suits your relationship, style, and the practicalities of photography and setup.

Do you provide proposal photography and videography?

Yes. Professional photography is a key part of The Proposal Suite and videography can be added on request. Our creative partners capture the build up, the moment, and a short portrait session after the yes.

Can I include family or friends in my proposal?

You are welcome to include family or friends as part of the surprise or for a celebration afterwards. We help you plan how and when they appear so the moment still feels intimate and well coordinated.

Can Layaz help me with my proposal speech?

Yes. Many clients feel nervous about what to say. We can help you shape a short, heartfelt speech that feels natural and true to you rather than scripted.

Do you offer engagement proposal ideas or themes?

We share curated ideas and themes based on your relationship and what your partner loves. This might include coastal, garden, city, candlelit, or destination style proposals, each with styling and details matched to the theme.

Do you handle florals and decor for the proposal?

Yes. Our team and creative partners take care of florals, decor, and styling details such as candles, arches, signage, and textiles so that the space feels thoughtful and beautifully put together.

Can Layaz manage both the engagement ring and the proposal planning?

Yes. Many clients choose Layaz for both their bespoke engagement ring and their proposal experience. This keeps everything aligned in one place and ensures the design of the ring and the proposal setting feel cohesive.

How long does it take to design and make a bespoke engagement ring?

Most bespoke engagement rings take around four to six weeks from design sign off to completion, depending on gemstone sourcing and complexity. We will coordinate your proposal date around the ring timeline.

What if I am unsure how I want to propose?

That is very common. During your consultation we ask questions about your story, your partner, and what feels authentic to you. From there we suggest concepts that feel aligned with your relationship rather than forcing a trend.

Is The Proposal Suite inclusive of all couples?

Yes. The Proposal Suite is designed for all couples. We celebrate love in every form and tailor each experience to reflect your identity, culture, and values.

Do you offer proposal videos or social media friendly content?

Yes. We can arrange video coverage and short form clips that are suitable for sharing with friends, family, or on social media if you choose to do so.

How do I start planning my proposal with Layaz?

You can begin by booking a consultation through our website. During this call or meeting we talk through your ideas, timing, budget, and whether you also need a bespoke engagement ring. From there we outline a concept and next steps for your Proposal Suite experience.
