Sandals Marriage Proposal Packages (2026)

Proposing at a Sandals resort is one of the most-requested experiences I plan. The chain runs a dedicated proposal program where a Sandals planner handles everything: venue, photographer, post-proposal dinner, ring storage, and the after-glow drinks. Here is how the 2026 packages work and which resorts are best for the moment.

Sandals proposal packages: 3 tiers

Classic Proposal ($350-$500) - private beach setup with rose petals, candle lanterns, custom signage, sparkling wine, and one professional photographer for the moment plus 30 minutes after.
Romantic Proposal Plus ($800-$1,200) - everything in Classic plus a personalized after-proposal candlelight dinner for two, a string-quartet or steel-pan musician at the moment, and a cake delivered to the suite.
Ultimate Proposal Experience ($1,800-$3,000) - everything in Romantic Plus, plus full day photographer/videographer (yields highlight reel), private chef-driven dinner, in-suite breakfast next morning, and a sunset catamaran ride for two on day two.

All tiers include ring storage in the resort safe and a confidential planning thread with the Sandals wedding team starting 30+ days before arrival.

Best Sandals resorts to propose at

Sandals Saint Vincent - the Overwater Wedding Chapel doubles as a proposal venue (the only one in the chain). Most photogenic.
Sandals St. Lucia Grand Bay - the Pitons in the background. Most dramatic Caribbean backdrop.
Sandals Grenada - private overwater bungalow proposal works beautifully here, plus the underwater sculpture park photography option.
Sandals Royal Plantation - boutique 74-suite all-butler property. Most intimate.
Sandals Dunn's River - newest flagship in Jamaica. Proposes in lazy-river or rooftop setting.

Timing and planning

Most proposals get planned for the second night of the trip (gives you time to settle in and scout the venue, but still leaves 5+ nights to celebrate). Submit the proposal request through the Sandals planning portal at least 30 days before arrival. Your dedicated planner will email setup options, photographer samples, and pricing within 5-7 business days. Final venue and timing locked at the welcome meeting on arrival day.

After the proposal: book the wedding too?

Sandals offers a "proposal-to-wedding" package: book your proposal trip and the future wedding stay at the same time, and Sandals waives the deposit on the second booking plus comps the wedding ceremony for the host couple. Common with destination weddings 12-18 months out from a Sandals proposal trip. Full wedding details in my Sandals wedding packages guide.
