1. Park Picnic Proposal

With the end of the summer heat and start of the nice fall breeze, a proposal at a park is the perfect idea. Add some romance with a delicious picnic with all of your partner’s favorite foods, roses and, of course, champagne! From the beach to your backyard, a picnic works anywhere outdoors and there’s plenty of picture-perfect locations for your engagement. If you like what you see, you can find this one in our proposal packages!

2. Thanksgiving Proposal 

This might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you want to include all of your family and friends, what better time to propose than during Thanksgiving? Plan it a day before or after if you don’t want to directly do it on the day off. However, it will be the perfect time because all of your family and friends will be visiting. Surprise your partner with a post-proposal celebration afterwards!

3. Romantic Getaway Proposal

With the perfect weather, fall is a wonderful time to plan a weekend getaway. And what could make a weekend getaway more memorable? You guessed it- your proposal! Whether going to the country or visiting your partner’s dream city, plan a romantic evening that will end with a diamond ring and a big YES!

4. Rooftop Proposal

With perfect sweater weather, why not get a perfect view? A rooftop is one of our favorite places to get engaged, as there are few things more romantic than a city skyline during a sunset. And the pictures are bound to be picture-perfect- we’ll make sure of it. Amp up the party by planning for friends and family to join afterwards, or ante on the romance with an intimate dinner, already set up prior to your partner getting there.

5. Gondola Proposal

Before the cold of winter, why not enjoy a relaxing gondola ride? Most gondola companies will allow you to enjoy delicious food and champagne (either providing it or letting you bring your own). While cruising through a romantic ride alone the water, reflect on your best memories and all the reasons why you love your partner. At the picture-perfect moment, take out the diamond ring, or even better, schedule to have a message in bottle floating along the water with your proposal!
