How Much Should You Budget for a Proposal in Hawaii?

You’re ready to pop the question—and what better place to do it than paradise? Hawaii is one of the most breathtaking places in the world to propose, offering stunning beaches, epic sunsets, and unforgettable experiences. But before you get down on one knee, you're probably wondering: How much should I budget for a proposal in Hawaii?

Let’s break it down so you can plan the perfect moment without any surprises—except for the one you’re about to give.

The Average Cost of a Hawaii Proposal

A well-planned, beautifully documented proposal in Hawaii typically ranges from $600 to $2,500+, depending on how elaborate you want the experience to be.

Your final cost will depend on 2 key factors:

  1. Photography + Videography

  2. Decor/Setup

Let’s look at each of these in more detail:

1. Photography & Videography ($499 – $1,200)

At a minimum, you’ll want to hire a professional photographer to capture the moment she says “yes.” If you want to relive the moment on film—or post a cinematic reel on Instagram—you can also add videography.

  • Photography only: Starting at $499 – $750

  • Photo + Video package: Around $999 – $1,200

  • Content creator add-on (for IG/TikTok reels): +$299

  • Drone footage: +$250–$400

At One Moment Hawaii, we offer packages that include next-day sneak peeks, cinematic edits, and even vertical content for social media.

2. Proposal Setups & Decor ($350 – $1,200+)

From a simple rose petal heart to a full luxury setup with candles, flowers, and arches—your decor sets the tone.

Here’s a rough breakdown:

  • Minimal setup (petals, candles): $350 – $600

  • Full setups (arches, floral, lighting): $750 – $1,200+

  • Custom signs or themes: Varies

Pro Tip: Choose a setup that fits your partner’s style. Is she low-key and sentimental? Or all about glam and “wow”? We’ll help you plan accordingly.
