Proposing is one of life’s most meaningful moments, so thoughtful planning ensures it’s unforgettable, goes to plan and is a romantic adventure.
Here are some expert tips from the Wedding Coordinators at Solton Manor to help you create a proposal to remember:
Pick a setting that holds sentimental value—perhaps the place where you first met, your favourite countryside walk, or the gardens of a stunning manor house.
Incorporate meaningful details such as a handwritten letter, a private playlist of your special songs, or a proposal in an exceptional spot.
Would your partner love a quiet, intimate moment, or would they appreciate a grand romantic gesture? Whether it’s just the two of you or a surprise celebration with friends and family, choose what you believe suits them best.
Hiring a photographer (or setting up a discreet recording) ensures you can relive the magic and share it with loved ones. Solton Manor’s stunning grounds provide the perfect backdrop for these once-in-a-lifetime images.
Extend the celebration by booking an overnight stay in the charming Dovecote Cottage—a secluded retreat in the heart of Solton Manor’s historic estate. Toast to your future together with a bottle of Champagne, a beautifully arranged setting, and a peaceful escape to mark the occasion or why not add in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fly over the White Cliffs of the English Channel.
Your love story is unique—let your proposal reflect that.
