Surprise Wedding Proposals in Tampa Bay

One of the newest trends we’ve noticed at Marry Me Tampa Bay is elaborate, surprise wedding proposals.

In fact, it’s become so popular that we were recently interviewed by Bay News 9 on the topic.

Surprise Wedding Proposal at Tampa Theatre | Rad Red Creative

Frankie planned every detail when proposing to girlfriend of six years, Lo, that he staged “extras” to cover his surprise engagement.

“We pretended to be from the Tampa Theatre taking photos of couples for their website,” Brittany, co-owner of Rad Red Creative explained. “We even had a ‘couple’ before them that we were photographing to make it seem more legit! As we started to take their picture, Frankie got down on one knee and popped the question!”

After saying ‘Yes,’ Lo was surprised to find Frankie’s proposal written on the Tampa Theatre marquee. The pair celebrated inside the theatre with champagne, hors d’oeuvres and a video of their love story.
