About Us

Eight years ago, Zakiya "Zee" Brown turned her passion for décor, design, and love into something extraordinary—Romantic Essentials. What started as a heartfelt mission to create unforgettable engagements for friends and family quickly blossomed into a full-service proposal planning and romance concierge company.

Zakiya recognized that while the moment of saying "yes" is magical, the journey leading up to it can often be overwhelming. She founded Romantic Essentials with one goal in mind: to make the proposal process seamless, stress-free, and deeply personal. Every proposal is designed with the couple’s unique love story in mind, ensuring that no two experiences are ever the same.

Through thoughtful planning, stunning design, and attention to detail, Zakiya and her team create proposals that aren’t just beautiful—they’re tailored, meaningful, and unforgettable. Romantic Essentials allows clients to focus on the most important part of their proposal—the YES Moment—while the team handles the rest.

For Zakiya, it’s more than just planning proposals—it’s about honoring love, creating lifelong memories, and setting the stage for the next chapter of a couple’s journey together. With every proposal she plans, she reaffirms her belief that love should always be celebrated in the most magical way possible.
