When Chris Richards woke his partner, Nichole Muratore, in the early hours of December 2023, she assumed they were simply heading out for an early-morning hot-air balloon ride with Balloon Aloft.
Little did she know, Chris had orchestrated one of the most romantic proposals imaginable—a magical moment that would change their lives forever.
As their car pulled into the field before sunrise, Nichole was greeted by an unexpected sight: a hot air balloon illuminated against the dark sky, with large letters spelling "Marry Me," a white carpet laid across the grass, and candles, white petals, and twinkling lights creating an elaborate setup.
"I still remember how it all looked as we drove up – our balloon and the 'Marry Me' letters all lit up in the paddock. It was all so beautiful - beautifully laid out and beautifully planned," Nichole recalled, still moved by the memory.
Chris had selected the Ultimate Proposal Package, a collaboration between Balloon Aloft and Spotlight Letters designed specifically for unforgettable moments like these. The comprehensive package transforms a simple proposal into an extraordinary experience. It includes professional digital photography to capture every precious moment, a private 30–60-minute hot air balloon flight soaring over the breathtaking Hunter Valley landscape, and a sumptuous post-flight gourmet breakfast at the elegant Peterson House Winery. Couples also receive a Photobook voucher, allowing them to preserve their special morning's memories forever.
Now Nichole Richards, reflecting on that magical December morning, describes it simply as "one of the best days of our lives."
