If you are looking for a charming, romantic city with beautiful scenery and stunning architecture, Savannah should be your first choice. This city is so pretty you won’t stop admiring it. Historic hotels, excusing southern cuisine, intimate squares, and famous Spanish moss oaks trees will make your engagement in this city unforgettable. Here are our top 5 best places to propose in this charming city:
1. Forsyth Park Fountain Proposal
Savannah is known for its parks and squares, there are 22 squares that are perfect for a romantic proposal and you can even rent it out and have an absolutely private proposal there. Forsyth Park is probably the most popular park in Savannah. It also has the city’s most famous fountain, which was installed in 1858 and has attracted visitors ever since. This would be the most picturesque spot for a surprise engagement.
2. Horse Carriage Ride Proposal
One of the best ways to explore the city is by taking a horse and carriage tour. While on a tour, your driver would bring you to the Whitefield square, telling you a local legend of how sharing a kiss in this square gazebo would bring you a lifetime of true love. Perfect opportunity to pop the question there. We can also decorate the gazebo with candles and flowers, and our photographer would be secretly taking pictures as well.
3. Wormsloe Proposal
Oh, this place is absolutely fantastic. One of the most picturesque places in Georgia, Wormsloe is the only standing architectural remnant in Savannah from the founding of the state. When you enter the historic site, the first thing you see is a long driveway surrounded by more than 400 oak trees. This area is absolutely perfect for a romantic getaway and a surprise engagement. This place is also perfect for the ‘planned photoshoot” proposal when you and your partner are getting prepared for a photo session with the photographer, but your partner doesn’t know that it will be an engagement. In this case, you both dressed up nicely and ready to rock that engagement session.
4. Marquee Theater Proposal
As an old colonial city, Savannah has a lot of historical theaters that are still running the movies and you can actually rent the whole theater for a proposal. Another option would be to propose at the marquee theater sign. Ask your partner for a movie date and when you get to the theater casual point to the sign above. Don’t forget to hire a photographer for this special moment.
5. Rooftop proposal
Savannah has lots of rooftop bars and restaurants, but if you are looking for a unique venue with breathtaking views, the Perry Lane Hotel rooftop lawn is perfect for a luxury proposal. Located in the historic district this hotel is absolutely stunning and has one of the best restaurants in the city. You can tell your partner you are going to a rooftop bar and bring her to an open rooftop with the 360’degree views of the charming Savannah. We highly recommend adding candles and a gigantic ‘ marry me’ sign to get that “wow” factor.
We would also recommend visiting Tybee Island, which is famous for its beaches and historic lighthouse. This area is the best for romantic beach picnic proposals or the sunset candlelight surprises. For the book lovers, we would recommend the Book Lady Bookstore. This bookstore is absolutely charming and would be perfect for a surprise proposal. The historic waterfront is also worth the visit and if you both love the sea adventures, propose at the real Pirate’s House.
Overall this city is absolutely perfect for a romantic getaway and perfect for a surprise of a lifetime.
