Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about crafting your perfect romantic evening

Like a delicate soufflé, the most magical evenings require proper preparation. We recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance for standard packages, and 4-6 weeks for our signature "Celestial Romance" or custom experiences. For special occasions like Valentine's Day or anniversaries during peak season, consider reaching out 2 months ahead to ensure we can orchestrate the enchanting evening you envision.

Love speaks many languages, including the language of thoughtful cuisine! We accommodate all dietary requirements with gourmet alternatives that never feel like compromises. Whether vegan, gluten-free, kosher, or allergy-conscious, our culinary artists craft meals that dance on the palate while respecting all restrictions. Simply mention any dietary needs during booking, and we'll ensure every bite tells a story of care and consideration.

We believe that the most memorable moments bear your unique signature! From incorporating your song as background music to displaying photos from your journey together, or even integrating inside jokes into the experience—we welcome your personal touches. Our Romance Architects can weave your story's threads into the evening's tapestry. We can also arrange for personalized gifts, custom poetry, or even choreograph surprise elements that reflect your unique bond.

Even the heavens can't dampen the flames of romance! For all outdoor experiences, we prepare an equally enchanting "Plan B" setting. Sometimes, rain brings unexpected magic—imagine a cozy tent adorned with fairylights or an intimate indoor space with panoramic windows to watch the storm while staying perfectly dry. We monitor weather forecasts closely and communicate with you 48 hours before to discuss options, ensuring your evening remains written in the stars, not washed away by them.

Capture the whispers of love with our discreet photography services! We partner with photographers who specialize in romantic documentation—artists who know when to blend into the background and when to capture that perfect candid smile. Choose from full coverage, milestone moments only, or our popular "Secret Paparazzi" package where the photographer remains completely unnoticed until the big reveal of your breathtaking images. All photos are professionally edited and delivered within one week.

While Cupid's arrows rarely miss, we understand that life sometimes has other plans. Cancellations made 7+ days before your experience receive a full refund. With 3-6 days' notice, we offer an 85% refund or 100% credit toward a future booking. For 48-hour notices, we provide a 50% refund or 75% future credit. Under 48 hours, while we cannot offer refunds due to preparations already in motion, we'll send a thoughtful "Romance Raincheck" package to your home, including elements that can still create a special moment.

Privacy is the garden where romance blooms most vibrantly. Our experiences range from "Blissfully Secluded" (completely private venues with dedicated staff) to "Exclusive Section" arrangements in premium restaurants or venues. Upon booking, you can select your desired privacy level, and we'll tailor accordingly. For ultimate privacy, our "Secret Garden" and "Starlight Sanctuary" packages guarantee complete seclusion with discreet service that appears only when needed—like magic serving your desires without interrupting your connection.

Love's beautiful tapestry includes all threads! We celebrate romance in all its forms and take pride in creating magical evenings for couples of all orientations. Our team includes LGBTQ+ Romance Specialists who understand the nuances that might make certain experiences even more meaningful. We carefully partner with venues and vendors who share our values of inclusivity, ensuring every couple feels not just welcomed, but celebrated. Your love story deserves to be honored in its authentic beauty—this is our unwavering commitment.

Creating Moments That Whisper Forever

Romantic evening setup

Our Love Story

Date Selection began as a whispered conversation between friends on a starlit evening. While sharing stories of romantic mishaps and missed opportunities, we realized something profound – in our fast-paced world, the art of crafting meaningful romantic experiences was becoming a lost treasure. That evening, between laughter and heartfelt confessions, Date Selection was born.

We started small, orchestrating intimate evenings for friends who struggled to find time for romance amidst busy schedules. Word spread like wildfire through hushed recommendations and grateful smiles. What began as a passion project blossomed into a full-fledged romance atelier, where every evening is crafted with the delicate precision of a love sonnet.

"Life's most beautiful moments often happen in the spaces between heartbeats – when time stands still, and two souls recognize each other in the silence."

Our journey hasn't been without challenges. We've weathered seasons of doubt, navigated complex logistics, and sometimes stayed awake until dawn perfecting the details of a sunrise proposal. Yet each challenge only strengthened our conviction that love deserves celebration – not just on anniversaries or Valentine's Day, but in everyday moments that become extraordinary through intention.

Our Mission

We believe that romance isn't found – it's created. Our mission is to transform fleeting moments into eternal memories, crafting experiences that speak the unique language of each relationship. We don't just plan dates; we orchestrate symphonies of emotion that resonate long after the evening ends.

The Art of Romance

At Date Selection, we're not just event planners – we're romance architects. Our team comprises dreamers, storytellers, and meticulous planners who understand that true romance lies in the details: the perfect lighting that softens edges and hearts alike; the carefully curated playlist that becomes the soundtrack to your evening; the subtle scent of hand-selected flowers that transports you to memories yet unmade.

We believe that each relationship has its own heartbeat, its own rhythm and melody. That's why we begin each project with deep conversation, learning the unique language of your love – the inside jokes, meaningful places, and unspoken dreams that make your connection singular. From there, we weave these elements into an experience that feels both familiar and magical.

Whether you're celebrating decades together or crafting a perfect first date, seeking a grand gesture or an intimate whisper, our approach remains the same: authentic, personalized, and deeply thoughtful. We've orchestrated everything from candlelit dinners in secret gardens to elaborate treasure hunts across city landmarks, each designed to mirror the unique constellation of the relationship it celebrates.

"Romance is the privilege of the rich, not the profession of the unemployed. The poor don't know how to be romantic - they have to be clever just to survive." - We disprove this notion every day by making extraordinary romance accessible to everyone.

Beyond creating singular moments, we're passionate about rekindling the lost art of romantic attention. In a world of digital distractions and perpetual busyness, Date Selection stands as a gentle reminder that nothing is more worthy of our time and creativity than the connections that sustain us.

Let us craft the evening you've always imagined but never found the time to create. After all, in the tapestry of a lifetime, it's these golden threads of intentional connection that catch the light and transform the ordinary into something transcendent.
