Private Northern Lights with Proposal & Champagne

# Experiences

Description

Over the past decade, we have orchestrated hundreds of proposals beneath the northern lights, and through this experience, we have learned that perfection lies in the details. Every successful proposal requires meticulous planning, precise timing, and seamless execution—and this is where our expertise transforms dreams into reality. From the moment you contact us, we become your co-conspirators in creating this life-changing moment, working closely with you to understand your vision, your partner’s personality, and exactly how you want this magical evening to unfold.

What sets this experience apart is not just the destination, but the extraordinary level of planning and support we provide. We know that proposing under the northern lights comes with unique pressures—you’re not just hoping for a “yes,” you’re also hoping the aurora will appear and the clouds will part. This is why we offer something no other northern lights operation in Iceland provides: flexible booking with backup dates at no additional charge. Choose your preferred evening, but keep additional nights available as insurance against weather conditions. If clouds threaten your primary date, we can shift to a backup evening when conditions are optimal, ensuring you’re not left agonizing over a single, potentially cloudy night. This flexibility transforms anxiety into confidence, allowing you to focus on the moment rather than the weather forecast.

Your dedicated guide is both a northern lights expert and a professional photographer who has captured countless proposals. Through detailed pre-tour communication, we choreograph every element: the timing of the big moment, the perfect location based on aurora forecasts, your positioning for optimal photographs, and even the subtle cues that signal it’s time. We discuss whether you want the proposal to happen as soon as the aurora appears or after you’ve had time to enjoy the lights together. We plan where your partner will stand, how we’ll create the perfect backdrop, and how to make the moment feel natural and intimate despite the careful orchestration behind it.

Our expert team employs highly detailed weather, cloud, and aurora forecasts combined with real-time satellite imagery to position you in the absolute best conditions available. This meticulous planning, combined with our smaller, nimble vehicle, allows us to chase clear skies and strong aurora activity throughout the evening. Our 93% northern lights sighting rate speaks to this dedication, as we only venture out when conditions favor success.

When the moment arrives, every detail has been perfected. As you drop to one knee beneath the shimmering aurora, your photographer captures not just the proposal itself, but the approach, the surprise, the emotion, the embrace—every frame of this perfect story. We take unlimited photographs throughout the evening, ensuring every angle, every expression, every magical moment is preserved. Beyond still images, we also record video of the proposal itself, capturing the movement, the voices, the raw emotion that photographs alone cannot convey.

Because this is your private experience, the entire evening is dedicated to you and your love story. There are no strangers witnessing your intimate moment, no schedule pressures, no distractions. The northern lights dance for you alone as you celebrate this milestone together. Your guide knows when to capture the moment and when to step back, giving you privacy to savor your newly engaged status beneath the aurora’s glow.

Built upon our highly awarded northern lights tour, this proposal experience includes every premium amenity that has earned us recognition as one of Iceland’s finest aurora operations. We are the only northern lights company in Iceland to provide warm winter jumpsuits for all guests on location—professional-grade thermal gear that ensures you’re comfortable and confident, not shivering, during your proposal. We also provide outdoor chairs, so you can relax together beneath the lights after the big question has been answered.

Throughout your evening, we provide traditional Icelandic snacks, pastries, and chocolate, along with warm beverages including hot cocoa, tea, and soft drinks to keep you cozy. As our gift to celebrate your engagement, we also offer champagne and additional chocolates—a toast to your future beneath the aurora borealis. We bring extra camera and mobile phone tripods so you can capture your own memories alongside the professional photography.

Understanding that newly engaged couples want to share their joy immediately, we prioritize your photographs above all others. Your professionally edited images are delivered before 3 PM the following day—not the standard 48 hours—allowing you to announce your engagement to family and friends while the magic is still fresh. These aren’t just photos; they’re heirloom images that will grace your wedding invitations, your home’s walls, and your family’s stories for generations. The tour departs at 9 PM during April, August, and September, and at 8 PM from October through March, timing our adventure to coincide with the darkest skies and strongest aurora activity. From the moment we collect you until we return you to your accommodation—now as a newly engaged couple—every detail is orchestrated to ensure this becomes the most extraordinary evening of your lives.

This is more than a proposal. This is a story that begins with “Will you marry me?” whispered beneath the northern lights, captured in images so stunning they seem impossible, and remembered forever as the night the heavens themselves celebrated your love.
