We had the absolute honor of helping WWE superstar Carmelo Hayes pull off the most romantic proposal for his beautiful now-fiancée Kelani Jordan this week—and we’re still not over it. 💍✨
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Grand Wailea in Maui, Hawaii, Carmelo’s proposal was private, heartfelt, and effortlessly beautiful. And yes, it included all the dreamy details you’d expect when you combine a world-class resort, one of wrestling’s biggest rising stars, and The Yes Girls’ custom planning magic.
A Proposal Fit for Paradise
Carmelo came to us with a vision: he wanted something personal, meaningful, and totally unforgettable for his now-fiancée. Somewhere dreamy. Something memorable. Somewhere that felt like them. Cue Maui! The Grand Wailea is truly one of the most stunning spots in Hawaii, with lush tropical gardens, soft ocean breezes, and those golden hour skies that basically beg you to fall in love. After scouting the perfect location on the property, we designed a custom setup that was elegant and romantic without distracting from the jaw-dropping scenery.
Here’s What We Put Together:
- A gorgeous proposal spot at Grand Wailea with that stunning ocean view
- A minimal and romantic setup with fresh blooms and soft neutral tones
- Brought in some of our favorite photo and video teams
- Seamless day-of coordination so the moment stayed a surprise
- Coordinated Cold Fountain Sparklers for a grand ‘YES!’ moment
- Curated a playlist that perfectly fit their love story
- Sunset timing, of course, because the light was everything
- Reserved the perfect private dining experience for post-proposal celebration!
We worked closely with the resort to ensure everything felt totally natural—and totally them. From the stroll to the proposal spot to the second she saw the setup, everything flowed with intention (and a little behind-the-scenes magic from our team ✨).
The Big Moment
As Carmelo gently led Kelani by the hand toward their proposal setup, the moment the stunning florals came into view—her reaction said it all. PURE JOY. It was emotional, intimate, and one of those rare moments that instantly becomes a forever memory. They shared the sweetest snippet on Instagram this week, and we’re still absolutely swooning.
“She said yes 💍❤️”
And honestly, who wouldn’t? 😍
