Meet the man who organises the highest wedding proposals in Britain

But how many of them said yes?

Duncan Welsh, head of occasions at The View from The Shard, has sorted out an impossible 154 private wedding recommendations on the review stages of England's tallest building – and he guarantees a 100 for every penny achievement rate. 

Perhaps it's something about the air 802ft above London Connect, however Welsh, whose employment it is to pull off all way of unusual and great occasions at the highest point of the high rise, one of the capital's greatest vacation destinations, says he hasn't seen a solitary refusal. 

"I am not making this up but rather so far we've not had a solitary no," he demands. "I'm totally genuine — and I regularly get individuals asking this. We've had 154 out of 154. It's astonishing." 


The View from The Shard has dependably been a hotspot for recommendations amid its open sessions, however presented a private proposition bundle this year when the occasions group understood the interest for it.
This isn't to imply that that recommendations openly sessions haven't been similarly great. One man selected Welsh's group to sort out a choir to begin singing his better half's main tune. The flashmob professed to be a piece of the paying group, then gradually rose up out of among the standard punters, singing as he popped the question. 

Very sentimental, notwithstanding the reality the melody was Ed Sheeran's Reasoning Boisterously. 

At the season of composing there are no private proposition reserved for Valentine's Day 2017, yet the group anticipates that there will be a few amid open sessions on the day. 

"As you're getting close to Valentine's Day you can't go up there without hearing somebody proposing," Welsh says. "You're nearly ensured." 

Be that as it may, a few customers' thoughts for private recommendations end up being excessively sentimental for their own great. 

"Some person, who truly didn't comprehend why they couldn't have this, needed the words, 'Would you wed me?' illuminated in lights on structures over the London horizon. 

"It's the sort of thing I would have wanted to do, however it was only somewhat past our transmit, inducing half of focal London to kill its lights at a given minute." 

This year, The View from The Shard has propelled a wedding bundle, so alongside London's most astounding proposition, it will likewise be home to the most elevated hitches. (We're marking down air ship, incidentally. That is deceiving.) 

However, sentiment aside, occasions administration at a setting like this is diligent work. The greatest accomplishment of a year ago, says Welsh, was presumably the more than two ton igloo introduced on level 72. It took seven hours and more than 20 travels in each of The Shard's four lifts to transport it. 

Be that as it may, a few occasions even Welsh has needed to turn down for handy reasons — for instance, a roller disco. 


"Obviously I pondered it," he concedes, "yet individuals putting on haggles round at speed, I wasn't exceptionally OK with."
