KOZAK

Private Proposal in Paris

Rooftops, private terraces, suite balconies, gardens, and yachts. Total privacy, larger décor, live music, dinner — everything you imagine, nothing you don't.

What makes a Paris proposal truly "private"

A private proposal isn't just an empty bridge at sunrise — it's a venue you book exclusively for your moment. Rooftop terraces overlooking the Eiffel Tower, private apartments with floor-to-ceiling river views, hotel suite balconies, gated gardens, and private boats on the Seine. Two practical reasons couples choose this over a public Eiffel Tower or bridge setup: no strangers in the photos, and the freedom to install larger décor — floral arches, marquee letters, full dinner tables, live musicians, cold sparklers — without permits, passers-by, or compromise. KOZAK has produced hundreds of private proposals in Paris, from intimate two-person setups on a rented rooftop to full proposal dinners with close family on a private terrace. This page covers the venue types we work with most, what's included, how the process works, and answers to every question we hear before a private booking.

Private venue types in Paris

Six categories of private settings, each with a different scale and feel.

Private rooftop with Eiffel Tower view for an exclusive Paris proposal

Private rooftops with Eiffel Tower view

The flagship private setup — a rooftop terrace booked exclusively for your moment, with a direct sightline to the lit-up Eiffel Tower. Allows large floral installations, full dinner setups, live music, and total privacy. Best at sunset and during the evening sparkle.

Private terrace proposal with three white floral hearts and Eiffel Tower

Private terraces & balconies

A privately rented terrace with Seine, Eiffel Tower, or Paris-rooftop views. Smaller scale than a rooftop, more intimate, often slightly faster to set up. Ideal for two-person proposals when you want exclusivity without a large guest list.

Luxury hotel suite balcony Paris proposal

Hotel suite balconies

For couples already staying in a luxury hotel — we set up the décor on the balcony or in the suite while you're out for the day. You return for "dinner" and the surprise is waiting. We've worked with most major Paris hotels.

Private garden hotel Paris proposal setup

Private gardens & courtyards

Discreet courtyards behind classic Haussmann buildings, private gardens of select hotels, and secret terraces in Le Marais. Quieter than a rooftop, intimate, and perfect for a candle-lit evening setup with live music.

Private boat charter on the Seine for a Paris proposal

Private yacht on the Seine

A 60-90 minute private boat charter with on-board décor, optional champagne or dinner, and a photographer on the boat or shooting from shore. Combines movement, multiple landmark views, and total privacy in one experience.

Sunrise private proposal at iconic Paris landmark with no crowds

Sunrise at an iconic landmark

Not a venue rental, but a privacy strategy: setting up at sunrise (5-7 a.m. depending on season) at a normally-public spot like Trocadéro or Pont de Bir-Hakeim. The location is empty, and the light is golden. Lowest budget option for a "feels private" setup.

Public spot vs. private venue — quick comparison

Public spot (bridge, quay, Trocadéro)

  • Lower entry budget
  • Iconic Paris backdrops (Eiffel Tower, Seine)
  • Décor permitted but must not block circulation
  • Passers-by may witness the moment
  • Best at sunrise or after dark for fewer crowds

Private venue (rooftop, terrace, yacht)

  • Higher budget (venue rental adds cost)
  • Total privacy — no strangers in photos
  • Larger décor possible (arches, dinner tables, marquee letters)
  • Dinner, live music, fireworks easily added
  • Weather backup easier with covered options

What's included in a KOZAK private proposal

Every private proposal is custom-built. Common elements include:

  • Private venue selection and booking (rooftop, terrace, yacht, etc.)
  • Décor: floral hearts, MARRY ME letters, floral arches, candles, red or white carpet
  • Fresh flowers (red roses, white roses, mixed bouquets)
  • Cold sparklers (safe fireworks effect, allowed at most private venues)
  • Professional photographer (the moment + a 30-60 min couple shoot)
  • Optional videographer with edited highlight reel
  • Optional live musician (violinist, saxophonist, guitarist)
  • Optional three-course dinner on-site

Private-specific options: full dinner service with chef and waiter, hair & makeup, drone video, horse-drawn carriage arrival, custom marquee letters, balloon installations, and bouquet delivery. Tell us your vision and we'll quote each piece.

Private proposal packages

Private setups vary widely in budget — venue rental, guest count, décor scale, and add-ons all swing the final price. Rather than a fixed-price menu, we build a quote tailored to your specific vision. Browse our Paris proposal packages for inspiration, then message us with what you'd like.

We coordinate everything from a minimalist private terrace setup for two to a full luxury experience with floral arches, live music, dinner, and videography.

Frequently asked questions about private proposals

What does "private proposal" actually mean in Paris?

A private proposal happens at a location not open to the public — rented rooftop, private terrace, hotel suite balcony, private garden, or private boat. No strangers in photos, no passers-by, and we can install larger décor than is allowed on public bridges.

How does it differ from a public Eiffel Tower or Seine proposal?

Total privacy, larger décor possibilities, and easy dinner + live music. Higher budget because of venue rental.

Can you arrange a private rooftop with Eiffel Tower view?

Yes — we work with several rooftops in central Paris that have direct sightlines to the Eiffel Tower. Availability depends on date and party size.

Can we add dinner, music, and a videographer?

Yes — private venues are ideal for the full experience. Three-course dinner, violinist or saxophonist, videographer, cold sparklers — all easy to arrange.

How many guests can attend?

From just the two of you up to 10-20 close family or friends. We match the venue size to your guest list.

How far in advance should I book?

Ideally 4-6 weeks ahead for private venues, especially May-September. Last-minute bookings possible when the calendar allows.

What if it rains?

Most private venues have covered or indoor backups. We confirm a weather plan B in advance.

Deposit and refund policy?

A deposit secures the venue and date. Non-refundable if you cancel (covers our committed costs). Fully refundable if we cancel.

Can the proposal happen at our hotel suite balcony?

Often yes — depends on the hotel's policy on décor setup. We've worked with most major Paris hotels. Send us your hotel name when inquiring.

How do I request a quote?

WhatsApp or the contact form on the homepage. Tell us date, budget, venue type, and guest count. Reply usually within a few hours.
