Qrated Events & The PartyPlatform
Qrated Events & The PartyPlatform

When Ankur Bagga founded Qrated Events over 15 years ago, he set out to master one specific craft: creating moments so perfect they would be remembered for a lifetime. Now, his event planning company has found a natural partner in The PartyPlatform, Dubai's digital marketplace connecting couples with trusted vendors for life's most significant occasions.​

The partnership centers on wedding proposal packages, bringing together The PartyPlatform's streamlined booking system with Qrated Events' expertise in crafting bespoke wedding proposal experiences across Dubai's most sought-after locations.​

The Art of the Perfect Moment

In Dubai, luxury proposals have evolved from private moments into carefully orchestrated experiences that rival weddings in detail and execution. The trend reflects broader shifts in how couples approach milestone moments, with many seeking cinematic backdrops and personalized touches that reflect their unique relationship stories.​

"There's a strong desire today for proposals that feel magical, meaningful, and highly personal," Bagga explained. "Couples want more than just a ring—they want a story they can tell forever."

Qrated Events specializes in transforming these desires into reality. From private yacht cruises to rooftop views of the Burj Khalifa, the company creates proposal experiences tailored to individual love stories. Whether arranging a desert escape under the stars or coordinating a helicopter ride over the city, each proposal is designed to reflect the couple's personality and relationship.​

The company's approach centers on what Bagga calls "the art of perfection." With over 45 events planned and more than 100 satisfied clients, Qrated Events has built its reputation on meticulous attention to detail and the ability to execute flawless experiences at 15 unique locations across Dubai.​

Solving Dubai's Event Planning Challenge

The PartyPlatform emerged from founder Patrick Narracott's frustration with Dubai's fragmented event planning landscape. After spending countless late nights searching across multiple websites and attempting to coordinate various vendors, Narracott identified persistent problems: unreliable communication, time-consuming comparison processes, and a lack of transparency.​

"Dubai's international community needed a single resource that saves time and reduces uncertainty," Narracott said. "People shouldn't have to juggle ten websites just to book a DJ or florist."

The platform launched in 2025 and has attracted over 10,000 visitors. It offers two main pathways: hiring full-service event planners or selecting individual vendors for custom celebrations. The model provides consumers with greater transparency and control in a sector often criticized for hidden costs and inconsistent service quality.​

For proposal planning, The PartyPlatform's dedicated section showcases handpicked, fully managed experiences where couples simply choose their preferred setting. The platform's video reels allow users to visualize proposals before making decisions, while the smart quote request feature enables reaching multiple vendors with one tap.​

Why Dubai for Proposals

Dubai's emergence as a premier destination for luxury proposals reflects the city's unique combination of iconic landmarks, world-class hospitality, and diverse settings. Couples choose locations ranging from historic landmarks and private beaches to luxury yachts, each offering distinct advantages for crafting memorable moments.​

The UAE's proposal market is experiencing significant growth as couples increasingly seek once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Hot air balloon rides over the desert, candlelit dinners at exclusive venues, and custom-designed setups with "Marry Me" signs have become standard offerings in Dubai's competitive proposal planning sector.​

Qrated Events brings 15 years of industry experience and deep local knowledge to this market. The company's UAE-based advantage provides access to exclusive venues and connections that elevate proposals with sophistication and style. Their mission centers on redefining luxury event planning by crafting experiences that exceed expectations through creativity, precision, and attention to individual needs.​

"We don't just plan events; we believe in the art of perfection," according to the company's philosophy. "With our unique and personalized packages, we make your celebration truly exceptional."

Technology Meets Personal Service

The PartyPlatform incorporates Sara, an AI assistant that suggests vendor combinations, theme ideas, and cost estimates tailored to individual budgets and preferences. "Ask Sara helps planners visualize possibilities they hadn't imagined," Narracott explained.​

Communication flows through familiar channels like WhatsApp and email, eliminating the traditional phone tag that slows down planning processes. For proposal planning specifically, this streamlined approach proves valuable given the time-sensitive and emotionally charged nature of the occasion.​

The platform offered free vendor subscriptions through September 2025, with paid packages launching in October. This strategy aims to build a comprehensive network of quality service providers before monetizing the marketplace.​

Currently focused on Dubai, The PartyPlatform plans expansion to Abu Dhabi once local vendor partnerships and user experience are refined. The approach prioritizes quality over rapid growth, ensuring vendors like Qrated Events receive proper support and exposure.​

Building Memorable Moments

For Qrated Events, the partnership provides access to The PartyPlatform's growing user base of couples actively seeking proposal planning services. The digital marketplace simplifies discovery while maintaining the personalized service that defines luxury event planning.​

Client testimonials reflect Qrated Events' commitment to execution. "Recently we had our team building event planned by Qrated Event and we were absolutely satisfied," said Kate from Austria. "Unique solutions and incredible staff! 100% recommended."

As Dubai continues growing as a destination for luxury celebrations, partnerships like the one between The PartyPlatform and Qrated Events demonstrate how technology can enhance rather than replace personalized service. The combination of digital convenience and artisan expertise serves couples seeking to mark life's most important moments with experiences they'll remember forever.

The PartyPlatform plans to add features, including saved vendor collections, instant quote notifications, and enhanced in-app chat functionality. For proposal planning, these tools will further streamline the process of creating Dubai's most memorable moments—one perfect question at a time.​
