Destination proposal spots around the US

Want to pop the question with a spectacular view as the backdrop? Pick your favorite from these sensational US destinations which include illuminated cities and awe-inspiring natural landscapes. In these stunning locations, you’re guaranteed to get an ‘I do’!

1.   Glitzy cities

From LA to the Big Apple, the United States has no shortage of glitzy cities which shine bright day or night. Match the glamour of solitaire engagement rings with brilliant diamonds with a proposal in one of these dazzling locations.

NYC is the city of choice for many. Its characterful skyline includes the towering Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center offering ‘the greatest view in the world’, and on the ground you have colorful modern plazas like Times Square. Las Vegas is the home of show, the only place to be for a proposal with a bang.

2.   National parks

North America is blessed with extraordinarily diverse landscapes, from vast plains of ice to arid deserts split by gorges and valleys. Honour the beauty of the country’s natural scenery by popping the question in one of the 63 national parks – which barely scratch the surface of the country’s 429 national park sites.

Hike among the giant trees in California’s Redwood National Park or up to the vast volcanic crater lake in Oregon. Tour the majestic Grand Canyon or traverse the strange pink and orange cliffs of Zion in Utah. The newest national park, New River Gorge in West Virginia, is especially lush with spectacular river views.

3.   By the beach

Is there anything more romantic than a beach sunset? If you’re looking for the perfect lead in to your proposal, this is it: the multi-colored sky reflected in the ocean is sure to stir up some strong feelings as you walk on the sand hand-in-hand.

The most beautiful beaches in the US are found on all edges of the country. Sail south from Florida to the Keys, an archipelago with white sand beaches, crystal-clear waters and a distinctly Caribbean feel. To the west you have beautiful Californian bays and the rugged quiet coastline of Harris Beach State Park.

For a classic beachfront boardwalk, look no further than Ocean City Beach in Maryland. Further north of course you have the stunning sandy bays of Cape Cod. Finally, who could forget the idyllic islands of Hawaii?

4.   Personal picks

Not convinced? Think about your partner’s passions and plan the occasion around that. After all, that means they’re sure to love whatever you do, right?!

Recreate a scene of their favorite movie in the location where it was shot. Take a booklover to the largest library in the world in Washington DC. Propose in one of the Met’s staggering galleries, or while watching a thrilling game at a fan-packed stadium.
