For Couples Who Want Their Story to Unfold Through Adventure
A Bespoke Planning and Experience Design Service
Based in the Swiss region of Valais and working across all of Switzerland and Italy, Propose.Marry.Celebrate designs proposals, elopements, honeymoons and anniversaries for couples who value originality, discretion, and depth. It is for couples who feel most alive when they’re exploring — moving through landscapes, discovering hidden places, and sharing moments that unfold far from the ordinary.
Rather than offering packages or templates, we provide concierge-style, one-to-one planning, shaping each experience entirely around the couple – from early ideas through to seamless execution.
We design proposals, elopements, honeymoons, and romantic journeys shaped by movement, landscape, and emotion. From glaciers and high mountain passes to lakeside villages, islands, vineyards, ancient cities, and quiet coastal forests, your story can unfold anywhere the two of you feel a spark.
This isn’t about staging a scene. It’s about creating a moment that feels real — shaped by the journey as much as the destination.
Whether you imagine hiking to a remote viewpoint, arriving by boat on a hidden island, sharing a private dinner in a mountain refuge, or flying to a mountaintop for breakfast before skiing down a glacier, we craft experiences that feel adventurous, intimate, and entirely your own.
Where it all began…
Behind Propose.Marry.Celebrate is Sophie — the creator of Above & Beyond and Verbier Concierge — whose work over the past decade has shaped some of the most adventurous and intimate romantic experiences in Switzerland and Italy.
Sophie started Above & Beyond in Verbier in 2015, creating high‑end, James Bond–style adventures and alpine experiences for guests who wanted something extraordinary — heli drops, private mountain lunches, adventures with dog sleds and paraglide flights, secret viewpoints, sunrise missions, and moments that felt cinematic rather than staged.
Very naturally, couples began asking for more: proposals on snowy ridgelines, elopements at sunrise, anniversaries in hidden refuges, and intimate celebrations woven into their time in the mountains.
Since Covid, those same couples — and the friends they referred — began asking to go further afield for their romantic experiences. That shift took Sophie across Switzerland and Italy: anniversaries at the Alba Truffle Festival, wedding holidays that loop through the Italian lakes and coast, proposals in Cervinia, quiet celebrations in Lugano, and honeymoons in Rome.
Propose.Marry.Celebrate is the evolution of that journey — a dedicated space shaped by a decade of designing luxury, movement‑led romantic experiences across mountains, islands, cities, and coastlines.
The Origins of Propose.Marry.Celebrate
What began as a small element of Above & Beyond experiences in Verbier quickly grew into something much bigger: couples kept asking for help with the most meaningful moments of their lives — and they wanted those moments to feel adventurous, immersive, and shaped by the landscape.
Over the years, these experiences became Sophie’s signature:
-
paragliding down to a remote picnic spot hidden deep in the forest
-
heli‑flights to mountaintop breakfasts followed by skiing down a glacier
-
dog‑sled champagne proposals in untouched winter landscapes
-
sunrise proposals after a ski tour
-
private dinners in remote mountain huts reached by torchlit paths
-
quiet cliff‑edge picnics overlooking the valley
-
multi‑day journeys that weave together adventure, intimacy, and place
These weren’t packages. They were hand‑crafted experiences, shaped by weather, season, terrain, and the couple’s own rhythm — the kind of moments that become stories families tell for generations.
After ten years of creating these experiences within a broader alpine offering, it became clear that they deserved a dedicated home.
And so Propose.Marry.Celebrate was born.
A decade of creating unforgettable journeys.
For more than ten years, Sophie has been designing experiences that feel both adventurous and deeply personal — moments shaped by landscape, timing, and the quiet understanding of what couples need to feel held, present, and completely themselves.
Her approach blends:
-
deep local knowledge across Switzerland and Italy — from glaciers and ridgelines to vineyards, islands, forests, and coastlines
-
creative, sensitive design that balances intimacy with a sense of discovery
-
trusted relationships with guides, pilots, chefs, winemakers, hoteliers, and artisans who share the same commitment to excellence
-
a calm, intuitive understanding of how to create space for couples to connect, breathe, and experience something real
Adventure is always part of the story — not as spectacle, but as a way of moving through the world together.
A helicopter drop that leads to a quiet moment on the ice.
A ridge‑line hike that ends with a long table set in the middle of nowhere.
A boat ride to a hidden island where dinner waits under the stars.
A vineyard walk that becomes a private tasting in a cellar few people ever see.
Or a paraglide flight down from your celebration, drifting over valleys and forests as the landscape opens beneath you — a gentle, exhilarating descent that turns the moment into something unforgettable.
Every experience is crafted with the same intention: to create a moment that feels true to you, shaped by the landscape, and remembered for a lifetime.
Designed Around the Two of You.
The experience feels personal, grounded, and unforced. Adventure and intimacy sit side by side — a quiet moment on a ridge after a helicopter drop, a long lunch in a vineyard after a morning on the water, a slow walk through a forest before a chef‑prepared dinner under the stars.
Nothing is templated. The moment reflects who you are, not a formula or a pre‑set package.
Switzerland and Italy offer extraordinary diversity — glaciers, lakes, forests, islands, vineyards, cliffs, cities, and coastlines. We help you find the place that feels like yours.
Working together.
Every proposal, elopement, honeymoon, celebration, or journey begins with a conversation. The more you can share with us before our first call — your ideas, your story, the landscapes you’re drawn to, the season you’re considering — the more precisely we can guide you.

Once we have a sense of what you’re dreaming of, we’ll arrange a call to explore possibilities, discuss logistics, and begin shaping your experience.
We take on only a small number of clients each year. This isn’t about exclusivity — it’s about craftsmanship, safety, and the depth of attention required to design experiences that involve movement, weather, terrain, and remote locations. Nothing we do is templated or mass‑produced. Every journey is built from scratch, for couples who value intention, adventure, and authenticity over “packages” or shortcuts.

Fee Structure
Our planning fee is separate from the cost of activities, guides, pilots, chefs, transport, accommodation, and all other experience‑related expenses. This keeps the process transparent, fair, and focused on what’s right for you — not on commissions or mark‑ups.
We work on an hourly basis for the planning of proposals, weddings, celebrations, and couple safari journeys. All planning hours are paid in advance. Rates range from CHF 180–240 per hour, depending on the nature and complexity of the project.
We work this way for a simple reason: it protects the integrity of the process — for you, and for us.
Adventure‑led experiences require time, precision, and deep attention. Paying for planning hours upfront ensures:
-
we can dedicate ourselves fully to your project
-
you receive thoughtful, tailored guidance rather than rushed answers
-
decisions happen efficiently, keeping momentum and clarity
-
the process stays focused and respectful of everyone’s time
-
we remain free to recommend the right locations, guides, pilots, chefs, and artisans — not the suppliers who offer commission
-
we avoid the common issue of endless “idea shopping” from people who never intend to book
-
you benefit from a partnership where both sides are committed and responsive
