Paris is probably one of the top cities in the world for the number of surprise proposals! What can be more romantic than popping the question in the glow of the Eiffel tower? Probably only a private luxury French château just for you two to share the most perfect moment together. This surprise proposal at Château de Chantilly just an hour away drive from Paris was organized by none other than CTH Events Paris planning agency.
Château de Chantilly is one of the most beautiful locations around Paris. We travel here often as we enjoy the Picnic in White party they organize here every summer. You can read about it and see our family photos from 2022 picnic in this post. Not a lot of people know but there is a second small Château on the grounds of Domaine de Chantilly and it's perfect for a small wedding reception, photoshoot or surprise proposal. It has to be privatized for your event, so to do this you would need to get in touch with the planner (a photographer won't be able to get you access to it even for a short photoshoot). CTH events special is a huge bouquet of red roses - a perfect backdrop for the detail photos of the engagement ring. After having some champagne and desserts we have walked around the main château to capture engagement portraits. This proposal turned out to be just the beginning of our story with these gorgeous lovebirds as we are going to be there to capture their big day in Florence, Italy next!
