Before I proposed to my wife, there were 3 other times she thought I was about to propose but I wasn't even thinking about it. It's just we were in very nice but remote areas (new Hampshire, Nassau, Zion Park, etc) but where I did propose, we were in Napa, specifically at Castillo de Amorosa. I made sure to call a few of her friends, I called mine and my family. Had about 15 people hiding in the bushes, taking pictures and video of the proposal from distance. I got Google maps and made a plan from where I would enter and where each team should be taking pictures and videos. I marked 4 proposal locations, directions where we would be coming from if I were going to have to change spots due to crowding or whatever. I coordinated the groups on whatapp by having our live location sent to the groups in real time. It worked flawlessly and my wife was extremely happy with how everything went down and retrospect said it was more than what she could have ever expected.
My other friends had their husband's propose in completely mundane and semi dispresctful or completely uncreative ways... Such as proposing at 7am, in bed, right when she woke up about to go to work...
She says she doesn't want a public proposal, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want a proposal in a public place without her friends or family. For something like this, even her friends and family would love to be apart of it, I know mine were.
