The frozen lake proposal cost with Rovaniemi Weddings starts from €1,400. That price covers the whole experience on a private frozen lake just outside Rovaniemi: organisation, planning and coordination, private use of the lake and the shore, candles and lanterns on the ice, a fire with warm drinks and cookies, a bouquet of 30 roses, complimentary sparkling wine and a professional photographer who captures the moment and then takes couple photos of the two of you.
On top of that you can add three things: a videographer, more flowers or a grand décor design, and private transport. Below we explain what each part of On the Frozen Lake really means on the night, what the add-ons change, and how the price sits next to our other proposals, so you can budget with confidence before you write to us.
What is the frozen lake proposal cost, in short?
The proposal starts from €1,400. The word “from” matters: the starting price is the complete experience as described on the proposal page, and it only rises if you choose add-ons. There are no hidden extras for the essentials. The setup, the fire, the flowers, the sparkling wine and the photographer are all part of it.
It is available from December to the end of March, whenever the ice is thick and safe to walk on, and you choose the time of day: soft morning light, the deep blue hour or a candle-lit evening, perhaps with the northern lights.
What is included in the €1,400?
Here is every item in the starting price, and what it means for you on the ice.
| Included | What it means on the night |
|---|---|
| Organisation, planning and coordination | We plan the date, the light, the timing and the logistics with you, and keep it all secret from your partner |
| Private use of the lake and the shore | No other guests on the ice or around the fire during your proposal |
| Candles and lanterns on the ice | The glowing scene that marks the spot where you ask |
| Fire with warm drinks and cookies | A place on the shore to warm up and take it all in after the yes |
| Bouquet of 30 roses | Ready to hand to your partner the moment they say yes |
| Complimentary sparkling wine | For the first toast as an engaged couple |
| Professional photographer | Captures the proposal itself, then takes couple photos of you right after |
One more thing is built into every proposal we design: we set everything up before you arrive and take it all down afterwards. You never see a box, a cable or a half-finished scene, and you leave the lake without having to think about tidying up.
Why the photographer is part of the price
On a frozen lake, the light is the experience. A professional photographer who knows how to work with candlelight, snow and a darkening sky is what turns the evening into something you can look at for the rest of your lives. That is why the photographer is included rather than offered as an extra.
The add-ons, explained
Three add-ons are available for this proposal. None of them are necessary for a beautiful evening, but each one changes the experience in a specific way.
Videographer
Photos hold the look of the moment; video holds the sound. If you want to hear your own voice asking, your partner’s reaction and the first laugh afterwards, add a videographer. It is worth deciding early, because a proposal is the one moment that cannot be repeated for the camera. Our article on having your proposal filmed in Rovaniemi goes into the decision in more detail.
More flowers, or a grand décor design
The included setup is candles, lanterns and a bouquet of 30 roses: elegant and focused. If you picture something fuller on the ice, such as a heart of roses or a sign, this is the add-on that makes it happen. We design it with you so it suits the light you have chosen and still feels like part of the landscape.
Private transport
The lake is just outside Rovaniemi. With private transport, you are collected and brought to the shore without having to arrange a taxi, give an address to your partner or explain why you are heading out into the forest. For a surprise proposal it removes one of the hardest logistical questions.
What sits outside the proposal price?
The price covers the proposal experience itself. Your flights, accommodation, meals and, of course, the ring are yours to arrange. If you would like help thinking about the rest of your trip, mention it when you write to us and we will point you in the right direction.

How does it compare with our other proposals?
If you are weighing up budget against setting, these three are the closest comparisons:
- The Fireside Proposal, from €1,400: a laavu, a traditional Lapland lean-to, with the fire crackling on private land just outside Rovaniemi. Available all year round, and in winter you can also step out onto the frozen lake.
- Yes Under the Aurora, from €1,500: a private northern lights tour where your guide is a professional photographer who prepares flowers and candles wherever the sky is clearest that night.
- The Grand Romance, from €2,700: our most spectacular proposal, with a heart of flowers, MARRY ME in glowing letters and a flower-lined aisle.
On the Frozen Lake sits in the middle: the open ice, the candlelit setting and the fire, with room to grow through add-ons if you want more. You can compare every option on our Rovaniemi proposals page.
Is a frozen lake proposal worth the price?
For the couples it suits, yes. You are not paying for a backdrop; you are paying for a private winter landscape that is prepared, lit and photographed for one moment, with every practical detail handled by planners who live here. The proposal happens once. The price buys you the freedom to be fully present for it.
