Planning - from now to your proposal. 

This is our approach:

---

- First, we schedule a quick personal call (WhatsApp or other). This way you can tell us more about your vision for your wedding proposal and experience in Switzerland together - we can guide you with our experience and share other awesome ideas, and an initial budget range estimate. 

- Then we ask you for an initial deposit of CHF 500.00 to confirm your date, the location and our collaboration completely. 

- Finally we send you a complete itinerary, timeline, all information in accordance with our personal conversation and your dream-come-true vision.

Experienced answers to common questions:

- How much does it cost?
Well, what is "it"? What do you want? Many of our proposals are complete and to the fullest satisfaction of our customers form around the world for less than CHF 1'500.00. However this is referring to a "classic, simple surprise wedding proposal". Depending on location, details like flowers, live music, transportation, pick-nick, videography and most importantly - the overall experience and duration itself (just a quick proposal and 30 min on location or a half/ full day itinerary?). Whatever it is you choose, we will make it completely awesome and always in alignment with our natural and sustainable approach. 

We have also had proposals where the cost of photography and guiding for 2 full days is just CHF 1500 - the customer paid for our accommodation along the way and we went hiking and explored several amazing locations together!
So, the costs can vary depending on the experience together! 

Whatever it is you envision - just let us know and we will make it possible! Please take a look at our Costs page as well!

- Why a deposit?
Each and every proposal and experience is personal and custom, however there are of course similarities and by planning hundreds of proposals in over 21+ years, we can pretty much confirm with certainty what your proposal may cost already during the phone call. This is why we give you an initial estimate during such (or as you can see on our Costs page). However, after the initial deposit is paid, we then further confirm all details (if applicable) - thus the costs may increase depending on what else you would like additionally. If one of our foundations is already exactly what you would like -
of course you may pay the amount in full from the very start! If there are any further costs, they can be paid before as well or cash on location!

- Where are you? Where can I propose? 
What are the "best" proposal locations?
Just share your idea and we can make it happen. 
We specifically focus on these areas: 
Interlaken, Harder, Habkern, Beatenberg, Grindelwald, First, Pfingstegg, Lauterbrunnen, Bönigen, Brienz, Meiringen, Unterseen, Stechelberg, Mürren, Gimmelwald, Wengen, Männlichen, Kleine Scheidegg, Eigergletscher, Jungfraujoch, Lake of Thun, Lake of Brienz, Iseltwald, Kandersteg, Oeschinensee, Spiez, Thun, Bern, Zweisimmen, Adelboden, Castle of Spiez, Castle of Oberhofen, Castle Schadau, Castle of Thun and any others throughout and surrounding central Switzerland, the Jungfrau Region of Switzerland and the Bernese Oberland in the Swiss Alps.

Interlaken is  approximately 2 hours from Zermatt, 1.5 hours from Gstaad, just above one hour from Lucerne, 2 hours from Zurich, 1.5 hours from Montreux, 1 hour from Bern, 45 min from Kandersteg, just more than an hour from the Pilatus, 1.5 hours from Titlis. 

- How do I get to the proposal location? 
We will, of course, help you get to your proposal location no matter what! Depending on your choice of location, you may travel by walking, hiking or trekking (with Llamas and Alpacas or Horses!), biking, train, by cable car, by gondola, by funicular, by ship or even by helicopter!
We partner and work very closely with the Jungfrau Railway, the Schilthorn Gondola Cable Car, the ships on the Lake of Thun and the Lake of Brienz, the Niederhorn Cable Car and Air Glaciers - one of the local helicopter companies. 

Whichever it will be - the experience will certainly be unbelievably scenic and you will certainly enjoy the views of Switzerland's beauty to the fullest! For travel passes, we recommend taking a look at The Jungfrau Travel Pass, the Bernese Oberland Pass or the Swiss Travel Pass - depending on the rest of your travel itinerary whilst you are in Switzerland. 

- Who can I ask to learn more about other highlights, points of interest, excursions, tours, trips and guided experiences during my time in Switzerland?
Us - your wedding proposal planner! We are also professional travel planners ourselves, focusing specifically on local and authentic experiences of all kinds. What an awesome opportunity for you to combine your wedding proposal planning with the rest of your travel whilst in Switzerland! We offer guided tours to ALL highlights in Switzerland - however always with a most natural approach. Just ask us.
We can plan your complete travel itinerary for your time in Switzerland if preferred -
although we focus on the Jungfrau Region of Switzerland. 

Take a look at our Friends & Partners page as well!

- What are some other activities, tours and experiences you recommend while we are in Switzerland?

Interlaken and the Jungfrau Region of Switzerland are very well known for nature, outdoor and adventure experiences of all kinds. Sightseeing, enjoying the pristine nature, learning about the alpine flora and fauna & geology, the fresh glacial water, local traditions, folklore, history and culture in general. 

Walking & Hiking 
Obviously, one of the main activities we recommend to do. The pathways in Switzerland are amazingly prepared, you can go for the most wonderful easy and rather flat walks or for intense multiple hour and even multiple day treks
(for all which we will love to be your local guides, just ask us!). 

We offer guided walks, hikes and trips and excursions so you can learn about local wildflowers and herbs, animals, geography, history, local folklore, music, arts and crafts, traditions and culture in general. We can also show you some of our favorite glacier lakes, alps, lookout points, significant healing and high energy places (sacred sites), water wells rivers, discovering the pathways of the pure and pristine glacial water, and much more.

Other tips, tricks and general information when visiting:

- Learn about the Jungfrau Region and Switzerland - about the town you are visiting!
Ask us, ask any local, ask anyone you meet when traveling about the area and anything of interest to you!
Personal heartfelt communication is literally the best thing there is for an honest and truly sustainable tourism and so much better in every way than just searching for information in the internet! If you DO search for information in the internet, do so critically and always prioritize learning from locals, or travelers who have first hand experience themselves (small and personal blog sites and travel reports are always better than generic information from big travel platforms). 

- Speak with locals - ask them questions - communicate and explore!

Please, please, please - communicate honestly and authentically! You certainly acknowledge the difference of tourists just touring and bustling around compared to visitors who actually learn a few words of German, speak to the locals on the street and those working wherever you are visiting! 

Get to know who is around you when you are here! Ask for directions and 
DO NOT just trust your phone or GPS about directions and information!

Here are a few Swiss German words for you to learn right now:
- Guete Tag! - Good day!
- Aues guete! - All the best!
- Liebi - Love
- Gsundheit - Health

- Wohlsii - Well being
- Wo - Where
Wie - How
- Wiso - Why

- Bitteschoen - Please

- Danke viu mau - Thank you
- E wunderbare Tag - a wonderful day
- Wunderschoen - Beautiful
- Darf ig bitte - May I please

- Alles guet - All good

- Bis es anders mal - See you again

- Do truly authentic things!
Aside from all the popular highlights and sights, make sure you also experience Switzerland as authentically as possible. Inform yourself by asking the right people (locals, workers, people on the street) the right questions (instead of just how, and where - ask do you, where would you, why would you, what do you...) The more personal and honest the question, generally the more personal and honest the answer! Don't just ask your phone where to go and what to do.
Walking around whilst staring at your phone in your hands makes you look dumb
and keeps you from truly experiencing where you are! 

On our Friends and Partners page, there is a list of recommended pages for authentic and local information. 

Obviously (!) we are happy to help you with accommodation (again, see our friends & partners page),
dinner reservations and any other activities, tours and experiences throughout your time in Switzerland. 

We prefer to get to know you before we start planning.
After all, each and every proposal is completely personal and unique.  

To get started immediately you can make a deposit of 500.00 CHF here: 
SwitzerlandWeddingCompany.com/Payments.
Just mention what type of proposal you are interested in and we will get in touch with you the same day to confirm everything.
This especially makes sense if you intend to propose in the next few days. 
Either way, this is what we will ask you to do after our call to get started officially!
