Facing the Sharks

Walking into the Tank, we were met by an unforgettable panel: Barbara CorcoranLori GreinerKevin O’Leary (aka Mr. Wonderful), Daniel Lubetzky, and two very special guest sharks, Chip Gaines and Joanna Gaines.

What made the experience even more meaningful was how personal it became. Each Shark shared memories of their own proposals, underscoring something we have always believed at our core: proposals truly matter. They are defining moments—stories that are told and retold for a lifetime—and having experts dedicated to crafting them makes all the difference.

Our Ocean-Inspired Proposal on the Shark Tank Set

To bring our vision fully to life, we showcased a custom proposal setup right on the Shark Tank set—designed as an ode to the show’s iconic show. The scene was completely ocean-inspired, featuring billowing, wave-like florals, treasure trunks, messages in a bottle, intricate custom details, and even bubbles floating through the air during the down-on-one-knee moment. It was whimsical, elevated, and absolutely picture-perfect—a true representation of how immersive and imaginative a proposal designed by The Yes Girls can be.

As Riley and Joseph delivered their pitch, a stunning video montage of proposals we’ve planned across the country played on the massive screen. Seeing the Sharks watch those moments in awe was surreal—a powerful reminder that love stories never lose their magic, no matter how big the stage.
