Traveling marriage proposals: 5 romantic destinations to propose

Marriage is a step that many couples aspire to, dreaming of everything down to the smallest detail, from the dress to the most surprising location, up to the much-desired honeymoon.

Yet preceding everything is another essential and equally important moment, which in many cases is remembered just like the wedding day: it is the marriage proposal, that is, the moment in which you decide to kneel in front of your sweetheart and ask her to become the woman, or man, of your life.

If this fateful moment is about to arrive for you too and you want to make a marriage proposal to remember, don’t be banal, but organize something original and totally unexpected. The perfect idea is a trip, or even just a short weekend: there are many romantic and evocative locations in Italy where you can make the perfect wedding proposals, which will be remembered forever.

Ravello and its romantic villas

The Amalfi Coast represents one of the most enchanting and romantic places in all of Italy: this stretch of coast overlooking the Gulf of Salerno hides coves and villages that seem to have come out of a painting by the most brilliant of painters.

Ravello in particular holds perfect places to make your wedding declaration unforgettable: think for example of Villa Rufolo, whose atmospheres harken back to ancient times and whose garden is so enchanting that it inspired Klingsor’s Enchanted Garden, from Richard Wagner’s Parsifal.

Then there is the wonderful Villa Cimbrone, now a luxury hotel: reach the Terrace of Infinity with your sweetheart and pronounce the fateful words between 18th century marble busts and a wonderful panorama where sea and sky seem to merge. Between the two buildings there is also the Belvedere of the Princess of Piedmont, from which you can see two other villages of the Amalfi Coast, namely Maiori and Minori.

Engagement on a tree house

A stone’s throw from Viterbo, in the heart of the Maremma Laziale, is the village of Arlena di Castro, nestled in the Volsini Mountains. In this quiet and peaceful place, a stone’s throw from Lake Bolsena, stands the farmhouse “La Piantata”, where you can organize your wedding proposal in a real tree house. Here you can find real suites, rigorously arranged among the shady branches of centuries-old olive trees and maritime pines, full of every comfort including a romantic canopy bed. The romantic atmosphere is therefore guaranteed: the silence is almost total, interrupted only by the rustling of the wind in the branches surrounding the house.

The sunsets from these treetop suites are nothing short of enchanting, with spectacular views of the hills cloaked in fragrant lavender plants and, in the background, the Cimini Mountains.

Gondola ride in Venice

If you have decided to ask for the hand of your lover, there is no better opportunity to organize an unforgettable gondola ride in Venice, one of the most romantic cities in the world. You will find yourself sailing aboard this historic vessel along the sinuous Grand Canal, in the presence of elegant buildings such as the 15th century Ca’ d’Oro and the Church of Santa Maria Della Salute also immortalized by the painter W.Turner.

During the gondola ride you can make your marriage proposal, stopping in front of the Bridge of Sighs, one of the most symbolic and intimate places in the city; alternatively, you can unroll a banner from a bridge, such as the Rialto bridge, declaring your intentions by choosing the most beautiful phrase.

Marriage proposal in the Capo Spartivento lighthouse

If you love the sea and want this to be the backdrop to an important moment such as your marriage proposal, you can opt for a weekend at the lighthouse. In the beautiful Sardinian town of Chia, in the south of the island, there is the historic Capo Spartivento lighthouse, dating back to 1865: what once belonged to the Navy is today a luxury resort immersed in one of the most enchanting corners of Sardinia. There is everything to make your stay romantic, including Jacuzzi and infinity pool, with the crystalline sea of Sardinia always in the background, whose background noise suggests the sweetest declarations of love.

You can ask for the hand of your sweetheart here or perhaps by reaching the nearby Cala Cipolla beach, a perfect location between pink granite rocks and soft sandy dunes.

Hot air balloon flight in Barolo

Barolo is one of the most renowned villages in the Piemontese Langa of the same name, also declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In this enchanting landscape setting, with the hills planted with vineyards that surround the village, recreating a natural amphitheater, you have the opportunity to take your future wife or husband on a hot air balloon. Balloon Exclusive Flight organizes flights that turn out to be sensational experiences, especially at sunset: seen from above, in fact, the Langa di Barolo is wonderful, among castles and churches scattered throughout the area. Take advantage of this high-altitude journey to give the ring for your marriage proposal, and then toast once you get back down with a glass of Barolo DOC.

Whatever destination you choose to propose to, the best thing to enjoy the moment, without receiving unpleasant surprises, is to rely on a Proposal planner.

This figure is very important for those who want to know how to make a marriage proposal and leave nothing to chance: the Proposal planner aims to know every wish of the person who wants to surprise their partner, committing themselves to recreating a situation to remember forever. For example, she will take care of the photos, immortalizing the very moment in which you give the ring, but above all of the location, arranging everything, from the flowers to the musical accompaniment, to make your marriage proposal truly unforgettable.
