Celebrations & Surprise Moments

The details that turn a stay into a story

IMJ's most valued pre-arrival service is the design of celebration moments — not just arranging the dinner or the flowers, but choreographing the sequence, timing, and personal detail that makes a milestone feel genuinely memorable rather than generically executed. A Maldives celebration planned by IMJ feels different because it was planned specifically for you.

What this experience involves

Celebration curation is IMJ's coordination of special occasion moments during a stay — surprise villa setups, proposal choreography, anniversary dinners, birthday experiences, gender reveal arrangements, babymoon milestones, and any other occasion requiring resort team coordination, timing, and personalisation.

What IMJ Arranges

  • Complete event planning and resort team briefing
  • Surprise villa setups — flowers, petals, cake, notes, champagne
  • Proposal choreography with specific timing and location
  • Anniversary and birthday dinner design
  • Personalised welcome notes and gifts
  • Photography or videography coordination (where resort provides)

IMJ Note

IMJ communicates celebration details to the resort team at least two weeks before arrival — and follows up one week out to confirm. The difference between a celebration that feels designed and one that feels like a standard service option is in the specificity of the briefing. IMJ's relationship with resort teams means these requests are received and executed rather than noted and forgotten.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance does IMJ need to know about a celebration?

As early as possible — ideally at the time of consultation. Many celebration elements (sandbank access, specific villa setups, photography) require resort lead time. IMJ can usually arrange surprises with 48 hours notice in-destination, but pre-arrival planning is always better.

Can IMJ arrange a marriage proposal without the partner knowing?

Yes — proposal secrecy is a speciality. IMJ communicates exclusively with the proposing partner and briefs the resort team not to reveal the arrangement. The proposal choreography is entirely controlled by the proposing partner.
