How Much Should You Spend on a Marriage Proposal in the GTA?

Planning a wedding proposal is one of a relationship's most exciting and often nerve-wracking moments. One of the first questions many couples ask is: “How much should I budget for my proposal?” In the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), professional proposal planning services typically range from about CAD$ 1,200 to 1,600 for a standard package, with deluxe or fully custom experiences climbing higher.  Below, we’ll explore average price ranges, what influences those costs, and how to make the most of your budget.

1. What’s the Average Cost in the GTA?

Venue & Décor-Only Packages at local vendors start around CAD$885 and go up to CAD$1600 for heart arches, neon signs, and floral installations. Full-Service Proposal Planners (covering concept, styling, photography, and musicians) often begin at CAD$1500+ and average between CAD$1500–2500 for a mid-range package. 

Luxury or Custom Proposals can exceed CAD$5000, especially when adding private venues, live performers, or high-end catering. 

Across the GTA, the average couple spends roughly CAD$1400 for a marriage proposal planner package that includes décor, venue, and basic photography.

2. What Does a CAD 780 Base Package Include?

At 360 Bliss Booths’ Bliss Proposals, our proposal setup starts at just CAD$ 780, yet delivers every hallmark of a high-end experience:

* Heart Arch – A romantic focal point

* Red Carpet (optional; rose petals only upon request)

* Candles in Various Sizes – Ambient lighting

3. Should a Proposal Be Expensive?

A marriage proposal is about intention, not price. An elaborate setup can be stunning, but the real magic comes from personal touches. Whether you choose a modest rose-petal trail at home or a full proposal wedding organizer package on a rooftop, your budget should reflect what feels authentic to you and your partner.

4. How to Maximise Your Proposal Budget

Pick a Strong Base Package: Starting at CAD$780, Bliss Proposals covers all the essentials; heart arch, petals, and lighting, so you can still add a proposal photographer in Toronto or a live violinist as an upgrade.
