The Luxury Proposal Experience
Cost: $1,999
(includes private use of the farm, all coordination done by a professional event planner, proposal setup, luxury dinner, and professional photography)
When you’re ready to ask the biggest question of your life, HollyDay Farms offers an experience worthy of your love story. Our Luxury Proposal Experience transforms your vision into a breathtaking evening surrounded by nature, candlelight, and timeless romance — all set on our private 15-acre countryside estate in Monroe, North Carolina.
We take care of every detail so all you have to do is arrive, take a deep breath, and savor the moment your partner says yes.
Your Perfect Evening
Your proposal begins with a private, personalized setup on our picturesque island overlooking the 2-acre pond. A glowing heart arch, red carpet, candles, and a rose-lined aisle lead to a stunning LED “Will You Marry Me?” sign — all framed by the gentle glow of the setting sun.
Your photographer captures every moment: from the walk up, the surprise, and the proposal itself, to your golden-hour portraits and your first toast as fiancés.
After the proposal, you’ll transition to a beautifully set private dinner under the gazebo, surrounded by bistro lights reflecting off the water — the perfect setting for celebration, conversation, and connection.
