Flashmob Marriage Proposal

Make an ordinary experience absolutely out of this world by letting us organize a flashmob for your future fiancé.  Tell your special someone you’d like to head out for a coffee.  She’ll be completely surprised when, on the way, ‘your’ song starts playing and people on the sidewalk break into coordinated dance!  As the grand finale, drop to one knee!  Sound like your style? Check out our instructional post on how to organize a flashmob proposal for more information.

Love Park Proposal

Don’t just say how you feel, spell it out!  The iconic statue at Love Park serves as the perfect background for surprise engagement photos.  Tell your significant other that you’ve planned a romantic meal at a nearby restaurant, and that you’d like to go for a walk first.  At the perfect spot, surprise her with your proposal! This is a picturesque proposal option that you’re going to want to capture with photos.  Check out our proposal photography package to see how you can make this once-in-a-lifetime moment last forever.

Longwood Gardens Proposal

Forget the bouquet and propose amongst the flowers with a surprise proposal at Philadelphia’s Longwood Gardens!  This is the perfect proposal idea for warmer months. Walk the meandering trails until you get to a garden full of her favorite flowers.  As she takes in the sights, take your chance and pop the question.  Check out how Tim planned and captured his proposal in his engagement slideshow!

Park Picnic Proposal

Choose your favorite Philadelphia park for this romantic proposal idea. This is another great proposal idea for the warmer months. Tell your special someone you want to head out for a walk.  Either pack your own picnic, or have us set up one for you to ‘stumble across,’ complete with a bottle of champagne to toast the moment she says, “Yes!”

Sweet Serenade Proposal

Make your existing proposal idea more romantic by having us set up a guitarist to serenade the moment you pop the question!  Our guitarist will be stationed along the way, and can even pretend to be a street performer to disguise your engagement plans.  Your partner will start to realize it’s ‘your’ song playing, and when they turn to look at you, you will be waiting with a gorgeous ring!
