Where to Propose
Figuring out where to propose can be one of the hardest parts of planning. You want a location that feels right for your relationship, gives you the setting you’re imagining, and actually works for the moment you have planned. After planning more than 10,000 proposals around the world since 2010, we’ve rounded up 10 of our favorite proposal destinations to help you find the right place to ask.
PROPOSAL DESTINATION
New York
After planning hundreds of proposals across New York City, we understand why it remains one of our most requested destinations. From private Manhattan rooftops and iconic Central Park locations to intimate restaurants and completely unexpected NYC experiences, there are endless ways to make the city part of your story.
PROPOSAL DESTINATION
Los Angeles
Los Angeles offers some of the most varied proposal locations we’ve worked with – from Malibu ocean views and private rooftops to gardens, estates, and iconic Southern California landmarks. With beautiful weather most of the year, it’s also one of the easiest places to create an outdoor proposal around the setting your partner would love.
PROPOSAL DESTINATION
Napa
For wine lovers, few proposal destinations feel as naturally romantic as Napa Valley. We’ve planned proposals among the vineyards, inside intimate wine cellars and barrel rooms, and at beautiful wineries surrounded by rolling hills. It’s an especially good choice if you want the proposal to become part of a romantic weekend away.
PROPOSAL DESTINATION
Chicago
Chicago gives you the best of both worlds: dramatic skyline views and beautiful waterfront settings along Lake Michigan. We’ve planned proposals everywhere from private rooftops to scenic lakefront locations, making it a great choice for couples who want the city in the background without necessarily being in the middle of a crowd.
PROPOSAL DESTINATION
San Francisco
San Francisco is one of those cities where the setting can do a lot of the work. From Golden Gate Bridge views and waterfront locations to private rooftops, gardens, and iconic architecture, there are proposal locations for everything from an intimate moment to an elaborate surprise.
PROPOSAL DESTINATION
Paris
Paris may be famous for Eiffel Tower proposals, but there are countless ways to make a proposal here feel personal. Think private terraces, intimate gardens, Seine views, beautiful architecture, live music, or a location connected to your own trip together. The key is finding a setting that feels like more than simply “we proposed in Paris.”
PROPOSAL DESTINATION
Miami
Miami works especially well for couples who want a proposal that feels vibrant, glamorous, or effortlessly romantic. Beachfront picnics, waterfront restaurants, private rooftops, yachts, and sunset locations all give you completely different ways to build the moment around your partner.
PROPOSAL DESTINATION
Oahu, Hawaii
Oahu is ideal when you want the destination itself to become part of the proposal. Beaches, dramatic coastlines, waterfalls, mountain views, and incredible sunsets create beautiful backdrops—but the best Hawaii proposals go beyond simply getting down on one knee at the beach. Choose a location and experience that actually feels like the two of you.
