One of the questions we get a lot here at The Heart Bandits – Engagement Planners is how our clients can get a celebrity to help with your proposal. Who wouldn’t want their partner’s favorite musician, actor, or sports athlete involved in their own engagement story? It would make their story super awesome and they would totally be geeked out!
No matter how cool it would be to have a celebrity involved, you need to ask yourself how possible is it? Well the answer is it isn’t easy, but it can be done. Here are 4 tips on how to get a celebrity to help you with your marriage proposal.
Ask
Check out the video above of Zach Braff helping a man propose to his girlfriend. How did he get Zach to agree to do this? He asked him! Sometimes a celebrity might help out with your proposal to be nice or because they identify with you in some way.
However, most of the time they will want something in exchange for their appearance. After all, it is their business so they need to be compensated for their time. In the above case, Zach was trying to raise some money on Kickstarter. Matt made a pledge and in return asked Zach if he would help him propose. Zach agreed!
Agent
Another way to try to get a celebrity to be a part of your marriage proposal is to find out who their agent is. You can normally find this on Google. Once you do that, you can reach out to them and find out how much moolah it is going to set you back to get them to participate.
There’s no guarantee that the celebrity will do this or if the agent will even respond to your request. If you do get in touch with the agent then that’s probably the best way to get in touch. As above, you may still need to offer something to the celebrity to convince them.
Ask everyone you know and people you don’t know to beg the celebrity on Twitter. This should be your last resort but it could work. Make sure you find the celebrity’s real page and look for the blue check after their name which means Twitter has verified their identity. Then you and all your friends tweet things like “@ryangosling my girlfriend would give her last breath to meet you!” or “@ryangosling, help me propose!!” Make it compelling!
Consider “Lower Level” Celebrities
Well all else fails, consider other celebrities that your partner still likes but it not necessarily on the A-list celebrity list. These type of celebrities might be on reality shows or up and coming athletes or new musical artists. They may be more attainable for events and maybe these celebrities will end up getting more popular in the future. If this happens, then your proposal story would be so much cooler down the road. You can say that your proposal included that big celebrity before he was even big!

Michele
Hi Michele,
First, thanks for your time. Second, I would like to plan a memorable, jaw dropping, and priceless proposal for my girlfriend. We have been together for 4 years and met in college. Since the housing market was in our favor, we decided to buy what we call our dream home. We both have stable careers in our chosen fields and I think there is only one thing left to do, propose. The main reason for me not “popping the question” sooner, was because I want to have an over-the-top proposal. We’ve been to Rome and I gave her a small symbol of commitment there, so I need to top that.
My celebrity of choice to assist me if possible would be Taylor Swift. They absolutely have so much in common and she loves her and sees eye to eye with all of her values. I mean if they grew up together, they would be best friends. The main attribute they have in common is their love for cats. We have 3 we’ve rescued from shelters and her ultimate dream would be to create a cat rescue non-profit that saves cats in foreign countries.
I’d like to keep this short for you. So that is all I’m going to write. Thanks so so much for your time.
Regards.
