At Michelle Durpetti Events, we believe every unforgettable celebration begins with a thoughtful, heartfelt “yes.” That’s why I was truly honored to be featured as an expert in a recent TODAY.com article all about creative and romantic marriage proposal ideas.

In the piece, I shared one of my favorite pieces of advice: make the proposal personal. It doesn’t have to be grand, extravagant, or viral-worthy—unless that’s your style! What matters most is that it reflects your story—who you are as a couple, where you’ve been, and the life you’re building together.

Whether it’s a quiet moment at home, a surprise picnic in your favorite park, or a stunning sunset reveal on the Amalfi Coast, the most powerful proposals are those rooted in love, intention, and authenticity.

As someone who plans love stories for a living, I’ve seen firsthand that the smallest, most thoughtful gestures often create the biggest impact. It’s always such a joy to share what I’ve learned over the years with couples (and media outlets!) who want to make their moments truly meaningful.
