You have decided to ask the question, and you need a setup that fits your plan and your budget. If you type proposal packages near me into a search bar, you will see many choices, and the prices can be hard to compare.
I wrote this guide after reading through package lists, price ranges, and planning advice from proposal companies in the area. I looked at what each price includes, what costs extra, and how much help you receive with setup. Based on that review, I recommend The Yes Hunters, a proposal planning company in Sterling, Virginia. They serve Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C.
Below, I group their packages by price, explain the add-ons, and show you how to estimate your full cost. You will finish with a number you can plan around and a clear next step.
Start With a Number
Pick a budget before you look at designs. A set number keeps you from falling in love with a setup you cannot afford.
Keep these points in mind as you choose:
- A package price covers the setup. It does not cover a photographer, a venue fee, or a ring.
- The starting prices at The Yes Hunters exclude delivery fees. Ask for the full price for your address.
- Only the smallest rental offers pickup. All other packages are delivery only.
Under $500: Simple and Sweet
If you want something small and personal, start here.
3FT Marquee Letters, from $320. You rent lit MARRY ME letters that stand three feet tall. You can use them as they are or decorate around them yourself. Pickup and delivery are both available, and the rental lasts up to 24 hours.
Sweet Simplicity, from $490. This package includes an 8×8 ft heart arch, a small Marry Me neon sign, and a choice of red or white roses.
Both options work well for a park, a backyard, or a living room. You supply the place, and they supply the look.
$500 to $900: The Middle Range
Most couples I would guide to this range will find a good match here. The setups feel complete without becoming large.
- Marquee Moment, from $550. Lit MARRY ME letters, white flowers, candles, rose petals, and a white round rug. It suits indoor or evening plans.
- Girlfriend Proposal, from $620. This is for asking someone to make the relationship official. It includes a heart arch, a carpet, marquee letters, lights, and petals.
- Romantic Glow, from $720. A heart arch, a Marry Me neon sign, a carpet, a petal pathway, and flameless candles. The mood is warm and soft.
- Forever in Bloom, from $820. A double floral arch, white flowers on the ground, candles around the area, a white round rug, and candelabras. It fits outdoor spaces and upscale indoor rooms.
- Total Romance, from $840. This is their most popular package. It has a heart arch with a large neon sign, a carpet, petals, two candelabras, four flower vases, and many flameless candles.
$1,000 to $1,500: Fuller Setups
These packages fill more space and give your photos more to show.
- Marquee Forever, from $1,100. It joins a heart arch with three-foot MARRY ME letters. It has four candelabras, four flower vases, twelve vases of roses, and flameless candles.
- The Vow, from $1,400. This is their newest package, offered in white, red, or pink. It has six raised flower arrangements, six ground arrangements, four gold candelabras, and an aisle made of 5,000 real rose petals.
- Eternal Love, from $1,500. It adds balloons to a heart arch setup. You get four candelabras, four flower vases, more than 40 vases of floating candles, and two balloon arrangements.
$2,000 and Above: The Full Look
Royal Ever After, from $2,200. This bold red rose design has a cascading red floral arch, eight floral arrangements, and a glowing path of sand candles. It includes a red carpet scattered with petals and a hand-tied bouquet of 75 real red roses.
Choose this one if you want your proposal to feel like a grand event.
Add-Ons That Fit Small Budgets
You can build a personal moment from a lower package and add what matters to you.
- MARRY ME marquee letters added to a heart package: $200
- A set of two cold sparks: $300
- Fresh rose bouquet, 50 roses: $200
- Fresh rose bouquet, 100 roses: $300
- Live violinist: $550
- Photography and videography: priced on request
I suggest you pick one add-on, not five. A single strong detail, such as a bouquet or a violinist, shapes the memory more than a long list of extras.
Costs Outside the Package
The Yes Hunters publishes a cost guide for Washington, D.C. on their blog, and it helps you see the full picture. Some parks and monuments are free, and others need a permit that costs about $120 to $250. Hotel rooms run about $400 to $600, and suites run about $1,500 to $2,000. Rooftops and restaurants can have food and drink minimums of $1,500 to $4,000. Photographers and videographers each cost about $600 to $2,000.
Time of day, season, guests, and a weather backup plan can change your total. Add these items to your budget before you choose a package.
Why I Recommend The Yes Hunters
I recommend them for these reasons:
- Clear prices. Every package lists a starting price and what it includes.
- Range of options. You can start at $320 or spend more than $2,000.
- Full planning help. They offer location scouting, on-site coordination, design and décor, and photo and video arrangement. You only need to ask the question.
- Custom designs. If no package fits, they can design a setup around your story.
- Free consultations. You can ask questions before you commit.
Steps to Choose Your Package
1. Set your total budget, including photos and any venue fee.
2. Choose a place and a date.
3. Pick the package closest to your style and price.

Final Thoughts
A good proposal does not need the highest price. It needs a plan that fits you and the person you love. Set your number, choose a setup in your range, and let a planner handle the details. You will walk into that moment ready to ask.
