Charleston based · Planning throughout the United States
Personal Proposal Planning from $444.
Tell Maeve about your significant other and the moment you are imagining. She will turn those details into one personal, practical Proposal Blueprint you can carry out with confidence.
The Battery and White Point Garden at first light, before the walkers. A quiet stretch of Waterfront Park. A private garden, a rooftop, or a table on a boat in the harbor at sunset. Each has trade-offs in crowds, permits and weather, and part of the planning is choosing the one that suits the two of you rather than the one that photographs most often.
Planning from elsewhere
Planning from out of town.
Many proposals here are planned by someone who lives elsewhere. Maeve can scout, book and set up locally while you plan from home, and meet you on the day. Proposals outside Charleston are welcome too. There is no travel fee within 45 minutes of Charleston. Beyond that, travel is quoted before you sign.
Proposal Blueprint · $444
Everything you need before you ask.
The Blueprint is for someone who wants professional proposal planning without automatically buying an elaborate setup or full-service production package.
The planning foundation
Proposal Blueprint
$444
The finished plan is complete enough for you to execute yourself. Add MKA responsibility only where it genuinely helps.
A private questionnaire about your significant other, your story and the atmosphere that feels right.
One custom proposal concept shaped around your answers rather than a stock setup.
Location, timing, privacy, surprise and weather strategy for the approved direction.
Relevant guidance for photography, flowers, music, dining or other outside professionals.
A practical proposal-day sequence and one consolidated refinement.
A polished digital Proposal Blueprint you can confidently carry out.
Photography, flowers, venues, permits, restaurants, rentals, transportation, physical goods and approved travel are separate from the $444 MKA planning fee.
How it works
From an idea to one clear plan.
01
Tell Maeve what feels like your significant other.
The recommended seven-step booking gathers the person, the date, the atmosphere and the responsibilities you want MKA to own.
02
Review the exact scope and fee.
The $444 Proposal Blueprint and every optional MKA responsibility appear together before anything is signed.
03
Sign your booking-specific agreement.
Your agreement reflects the actual services selected, your proposal details and the people permitted to participate.
04
Send the full Booking Payment.
The private payment screen gives you the exact amount, booking reference and Zelle instructions. The engagement is reserved once Maeve verifies receipt.
Where Maeve plans
Charleston based. Not Charleston limited.
Local knowledge matters when privacy, crowds, light, parking, weather and photographer positioning determine whether a setting actually works. Remote planning is available throughout the United States, with travel quoted whenever you want Maeve there in person.

Charleston proposal planning · from $444
Design it first. Choose your level of support second.
Tell Maeve about the person you love and the moment you have in mind. Your answers shape a personal recommendation before you choose how much of the planning you want MKA to handle.
The seven-step booking asks only what Maeve needs to understand the person, confirm the date, price the exact scope and prepare your agreement. The full guided path is available if you want to explore every creative preference now.
MKA fees and outside-professional costs are always shown separately.
