An Engagement With Franc is a four-part series featuring Franc,
aka Peter Kelly, Ireland’s
premier wedding and events designer. For An Engagement
With Franc, he has
been asked to bring some magic to the engagement proposals of four Northern
Ireland hopefuls and make that Other Special Day one to remember.
Franc’s events are defined by his unique sense of occasion. As a
designer, his role is to ensure each event is tailor-made to the individual,
reflecting their personalities, styles and tastes. Through Brides Of Franc,
the very successful television series on RTE, audiences have been treated
to a diverse range of stunning weddings, some of which were organised against
the most incredible odds.
In a novel departure for Franc, one of the few men in the business, this new series sees him design locations and coordinate performers to create a unique setting for the dream proposal...and all of this without letting one half of the couple know what’s going on!
Locations for the proposals range from Paris to the Giant’s Causeway,
from a Norwegian mountaintop to live onstage at Oxegen, in front of
tens of thousands of music lovers at one of Ireland’s largest
music festivals.
In
the first episode Franc has his work cut out to turn Omagh-based accountant
Richard, and his two left feet, into a skilled dancer who can master
a dance routine and propose to his sweetheart in Paris.
In part two Franc takes us on an unforgettable journey as he battles
the elements to turn Lisburn-based Phil’s proposal into a reality
on a spectacular setting, 3,000 feet up a Norwegian mountaintop!
Episode
three see’s rock ‘n’ roll couple Michaela and Paddy,
who have moved to Manchester from Belfast, turn the tables on the
traditional proposal as the question is popped live on stage at Oxegen
in front of 35,000 festival goers!
In
the final episode we meet Derry tour guide Stephen and his Canadian
girlfriend Vicki. Here, Franc is hoping to make an unforgettable day
for them both, incorporating a 30-strong pipe band, her family and
the stunning setting of the Giant’s Causeway.
An Engagement With Franc is a production by Power
Pictures and is directed by David Power.
