6 Dreamy Spots to Pop the Question in New Orleans (2024 EDITION)

Hey lovebirds! Thinking about getting down on one knee in the Big Easy? You’re in for a treat! As a local who’s helped countless couples capture their special moment, I’ve got the inside scoop on some of the most romantic places to propose in New Orleans. Trust me, this city’s got a little magic in the air that’ll make your proposal unforgettable.

Why New Orleans? It’s All About That Charm, Baby!

Look, I’ve seen proposals all over, but there’s something about NOLA that just hits different. Maybe it’s the jazz floating through the air, or the way the streetlights flicker in the French Quarter. Whatever it is, it’s special. And hey, if you’re worried about capturing the moment, that’s where we come in with our New Orleans proposal packages. But more on that later!

Our Top Picks for Popping the Question

1. Audubon Park: For the Nature Lovers

Picture this: You’re spreading out a picnic blanket under a giant oak tree, the sun’s setting, and bam! You pull out the ring. Magical, right?

Best time to go: Just before sunset. Trust me, the golden hour light is chef’s kiss
Pro tip: Bring some bug spray. Nothing kills the mood like mosquitos!

2. Jackson Square: Historic Vibes in the French Quarter

I once saw a guy propose here with a brass band playing in the background. Talk about a New Orleans moment!

When to do it: Early morning if you want it quiet, or midday if you want the full NOLA experience
Heads up: It can get crowded, so have a backup spot in mind

3. Horse-Drawn Carriage Ride: Old-School Romance

Okay, it might sound cheesy, but hear me out. There’s something super romantic about clip-clopping through the French Quarter.

Ideal time: Evening, when the streets are all lit up
Funny story: One time, a horse sneezed right as a guy was proposing. They laughed so hard, she almost forgot to say yes!

4. City Park Gondola Ride: Venice, Who?

Y’all, I didn’t even know we had gondolas until I started this gig. It’s like a little slice of Italy right here in NOLA.

Best for: Quiet, intimate moments. Perfect if your partner’s shy!
Tip: Bring a little bluetooth speaker for some mood music

5. Bourbon Street: For the Party Animals

Not gonna lie, this one’s not for everyone. But if you and your boo love a good party, why not?

When to do it: Late night, when the street’s really alive
Word of warning: Maybe practice your proposal speech beforehand. It can get LOUD out there!

6. Steamboat Natchez: Classic New Orleans

Last but not least, the Steamboat Natchez. It’s like stepping back in time, I swear.

Perfect for: Music lovers. That jazz band on board is fire
Cute idea: Propose during “What a Wonderful World.” Gets ’em every time!
