The couple might decide to announce the engagement at this party or propose at this party and surprise the bride or groom to be along with everyone else! To maximize the surprise factor, we will need to concoct a good excuse for such a party. Part of the delight of a unique engagement party is that Capitola Garden Feast works with the host with lots of room for inventiveness and creative solutions. Some of our engagement parties are very formal. We will do what it takes to execute a solid plan for your food and beverages.
