Amsterdam is filled with romance; the historic buildings, narrow cobblestone streets, and endless canals paint a beautiful story for a romantic moment to cherish forever. Call us biased, but we’re obsessed with Amsterdam and the romance this city offers. So ideal for a wedding proposal in Amsterdam. Some are obvious, others are off the beaten track. But there is no doubt that Amsterdam is romance-abundant. This is why we find Amsterdam so special, and we are on a mission to put Amsterdam on the map as one of the world’s most romantic cities.

“These guys helped me propose to my other half. Our skipper Deep was amazing and we’ll remember the trip forever. The term ‘above and beyond’ doesn’t cover what these guys do. If you want to make a romantic gesture in a beautiful city these are the people. Attention to detail is second to none. Thanks again ❤️”

In this blog, we’ll break down the essential differences between our standard romantic private boat tours and our specialized wedding proposal tours so you can make the best choice for your unforgettable moment.

The list above is what the standard romantic and wedding proposal tours have in common. For some guests, that is fine; it is totally okay if one wishes to be spontaneous and make a wedding proposal at the moment in our regular private tours. After all, you know your partner and relationship the best, so you know the best way to propose. However, our wedding proposal packages would be ideal for those who enjoy having a plan, as we know and understand that the small details and touches matter. The thoughtful gestures really make a memorable difference. These subtle details help place the finishing touches on such a romantic moment.

“Had a fantastic experience with them proposing to my girlfriend. Linda, the person I liaised with, was extremely pleasant and accommodating. Glynn, our skipper, was very knowledgeable and warm. Glynn made us feel at home and provided us with everything we needed (food, drinks, blankets etc). I would highly recommend this unique experience for any romantic getaways 🙂 Thanks to the team once again!”

Frequently Asked Questions about your Wedding Proposal in Amsterdam

Why choose Romantic Amsterdam Tour for your private boat wedding proposal?

We are proud to share that we have planned and hosted over 350 wedding proposals in Amsterdam. We understand the importance of every moment, how details and planning matter, and should be considered when proposing. We are also big believers that Amsterdam is a romantic city, and we strive to create romance and magic on our private tours.

How far in advance should I book my wedding proposal in Amsterdam ?

You can book your Marriage proposal tour up to 6 months before. We recommend at least 4-6 weeks in advance to ensure availability and allow for thorough planning. However, this is different for all, depending on what specific requests you have for your wedding proposal. For example, suppose you request a photographer for the moment of the proposal. In that case, we recommend booking earlier to secure availability, especially during the high season.

What if it rains on the day of my wedding proposal in Amsterdam?

Our boat tours operate all year round. If the weather is unfavorable, the roof of our boat can be closed to shelter you both from rain and keep you dry. Actually it can be a very romantic setting since your are dry inside and raindrops create bells on the canals and you hear them drop on the water. Also the canals will be much quieter and more peaceful, creating a more private setting. In addition, we offer blankets to keep you warm and cozy. As the weather can change quickly in the Netherlands, we monitor weather forecasts closely and keep our guests updated if there are concerns that a storm may come. Please note that the weather can change dramatically within 8 hours, so we strive to inform you before 12:00 on the day of your tour.

What are the next steps after booking my marriage proposal package?

Once you’ve booked your wedding package online, we will email you to finalize the details of your customized plan. We strive to deliver the best customer service to our guests, and we’re there to assist you with any questions you may have.

Are there toilets on the boat for my wedding proposal?

Unfortunately, there are no toilets on our private boat. You can ask your skipper; they will direct you to the nearest toilet before or after the tour.

Can I bring my friends and family to my proposal in Amsterdam?

A: While celebrating the news with friends and family is fantastic, we highly recommend meeting your friends and family after the wedding proposal as opposed to having them join you both on the boat tour during your proposal. Based on our experience, we recommend the couple have the marriage proposal moment alone. This allows for privacy, especially for such an intimate moment.

However, only you will know what is best for yourself and your partner, so if this arrangement suits both of you, we would welcome your friends and family. Our private boat can accommodate up to 10 people, and there is an additional fee for each extra person you choose to bring on the tour.

What if my partner guesses before I propose in Amstedam?

We can never promise that your partner won’t guess if you will propose; perhaps your partner is anticipating a marriage proposal. We thought of small details such as excuses and storylines so they would not be given away. However, we can’t stop your partner from guessing or anticipating your wedding proposal. The good thing is your partner does not know when and how you plan to propose. That is a surprise; only you and the team have those details. We may not be able to stop your partner from guessing, but the magic is in how you plan it.

If I add a musician or a photographer to my marriage proposal, will that spoil the surprise?

Adding a musician or photographer is easily written into your proposal plan. We introduced the talent just before your proposal and came up with an excuse that makes sense for why they are there. They stay on your boat for up to 45 minutes unless longer arrangements have been made.

Why do wedding proposal packages cost more than a standard romantic tour?

Investing in a wedding proposal package over a standard romantic tour has several positive factors that enhance the overall experience. Our marriage proposal packages include services and features specifically for special occasions, such as personalized proposal plans, upgrades, and a planner to assist you.

Our past guests love the attention to detail in the wedding proposal packages. Each aspect is thoughtfully thought through to ensure the marriage proposal feels unique and memorable. Our customers have also been impressed with the dedicated support from our planners. You can rely on our expertise to ensure everything runs smoothly, allowing you to focus on the moment.
