Best Proposal Locations in Philadelphia

As a Philadelphia proposal photographer, I have seen so many beautiful locations to pop the question. Whether you are looking for city views or a private location for your Philadelphia proposal I have gathered the perfect list for you.

For a private luxury experience, look no further than a proposal at The W Hotel terrace in Philadelphia

For the ultimate view, a proposal at The W Hotel rooftop terrace in Philadelphia is magical. I’ve photographed many proposals here and can say it is a fantastic experience. The staff is amazing, and you can hire a florist to make it special just for you! I’d be happy to send you their current packages and give you contact info for their events manager.

Restaurant Proposal Philadelphia Royal Boucherie

Another great idea for a more intimate idea is renting a space for a restaurant proposal. One of my favorite cozy spots in Royal Boucherie in Old City.

Proposal at Magic Gardens

How very Philly is a Magic Gardens proposal. Philly is known for its unique murals, and this space is dedicated to the art of mosaics. You can propose during normal hours or pay to have the space just for you for a small permit fee.

Race Street Pier Proposal

For a perfect view of the Ben Franklin Bridge, you can’t beat a proposal at Race Street Pier. After the proposal, we can walk around Old City for engagement photos and maybe even grab a glass of champagne.

Proposal at The Gazebo at FDR Park

FDR Park is such a hidden gem of a location for a proposal and I love this stone gazebo that is right on the water!

Longwood Gardens Proposals

This is such a popular location for proposals and for good reason! It’s so romantic to say yes surrounded by gorgeous flowering plants and trees. Currently photography is not allowed but starting March 1st 2025 outdoor photography will be allowed for a $250 permit fee that does not include the entrance. I always recommend checking their current rules and pricing.

Elfreth’s Alley Proposal

With it’s beautiful cobblestone streets and historic buildings, Elfreth’s Alley is a wonderful place to propose in Philadelphia.

Addison Street Proposal

Addison Street is so pretty, with its tree-lined streets and twinkling lights. It’s romantic during the day and the nigh,t and what a perfect Holiday season proposal this makes!
