Orlando Proposal Ideas You'll Love

Whether you a nature enthusiast, an adventure seeker, or the world’s biggest Disney fan, you’re sure to find an Orlando proposal idea on this list that is perfect for you. We would love nothing more than helping you bring it to life!

#1 - HOT AIR BALLOON PROPOSAL

Imagine soaring above the outskirts of the city as the sun rises, casting a romantic hue over the landscape. A hot air balloon is a magical and intimate setting for a proposal. We can help you coordinate with the balloon company to arrange a private ride, complete with champagne and unmatched views. All you will have to do is get down on one knee as you float among the clouds, surrounded by the beauty of Central Florida, and ask the one you love to spend the rest of their life with you.

#2 - SCENIC PICNIC PROPOSAL

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and the theme parks and whisk your partner away for a romantic stroll around at Lake Eola. We’ll set the scene in the perfect spot with beautiful florals and lanterns, and pack a gourmet basket filled with their favorite treats and a bottle of bubbly. As the two of you bask in the tranquil beauty around you, profess your love and present the ring against the backdrop of Orlando’s skyline reflected in the shimmering waters of the lake.

#3 - Waterside Disney Springs Proposal

We will reach out to our partners at one the incredible lakeside restaurants in Disney Springs to reserve a table overlooking the gorgeous lake just before sunset. As the sun dips below the water, you will drop to one knee to present the ring and your proposal as a photographer discreetly captures the moment. To celebrate, your server will bring a bottle of champagne and a single rose in your choice of colors for you to present your future spouse. Who could say no to that?

#4 - SEA LOVER'S PROPOSAL

One popular Orlando proposal idea for couples who share a love for marine life is to do it at Discovery Cove. The park offers a couple of proposal packages, including one where your proposal is presented by a dolphin! Note that theme park admission is required for any of their packages, but this is sure to be an amazing experience for both of you.

#5 - Private helicopter proposal

Elevate your Orlando proposal to new heights with a private helicopter tour. Soar above the iconic theme parks, shimmering lakes, and lush landscapes of the city while enjoying unparalleled views of Orlando’s most beloved attractions. As you hover high above The Most Magical Place on Earth, seize the moment to ask the most important question of your life, and let the magic of Disney make it an unforgettable experience.

#6 - Sunset Horseback Ride

Equestrian fans, we will organize a romantic sunset horseback ride through the breathtaking wilderness of Central Florida for you and your love. You will traverse scenic trails teeming with native wildlife as the golden rays of the setting sun paint the sky in hues of pink and orange. We’ll set the scene in a secluded clearing amidst the majestic trees, and as you both arrive and dismount from your steeds, you will profess your love and ask the most important question of your life.

#7 - ROMANTIC BOAT RIDE

Treat your partner to a romantic evening aboard a chartered boat as you venture along the pristine waters of the Butler Chain of Lakes, sipping champagne and coasting past the homes of the rich and famous. With the serene beauty of the lakes as your backdrop, toast to your love and commitment, and let the gentle lapping of the waves set the mood for the perfect Orlando proposal.

#8 - Enchanting Garden Proposal

Step into a fairytale setting amidst the lush botanical gardens of Harry P. Leu Gardens for a proposal straight out of a storybook. Wander hand in hand along winding pathways adorned with vibrant blooms and tranquil water features, until you reach a secluded garden alcove. With the fragrance of flowers in the air and the symphony of nature as your soundtrack, kneel before your beloved and ask them to be your happily ever after.

#9 - Sunset Beach Proposal

Not all Orlando proposal ideas need to be set in the city! Orlando is a little over an hour from many popular beaches, some of the most romantic settings in the world. Escape to the serene shores of the Atlantic Ocean for a proposal under the stars. We will arrange a private setup with cozy blankets, lanterns, and a picnic basket of goodies for you to enjoy. As the setting sun welcomes soft moonlight to bathe the nearby sand dunes, present the ring and ask the question to begin your new forever.

Fulfill every princess’s dream with a fairytale proposal in front of Cinderella’s Castle at the Magic Kingdom. We will help you secure a reservation at Cinderella’s Royal Table, where you’ll be treated like royalty. After enjoying your delicious meal, lead your partner to the enchanting castle courtyard to view the fireworks. Then, as the fireworks illuminate the night sky and the sounds of Disney melodies fill the air, declare your love in true fairytale fashion and ask for your partner’s hand in marriage.

Proposal Planning FAQ

If you’re reading this post, you’re probably planning to propose. Congratulations! This is such an exciting time!

Whether you’re an Orlando resident or you’re traveling here for vacation, you surely want to plan the perfect Orlando proposal. Let’s set you up for success by answering some of the most common questions we get from our clients.

How much should I budget for my proposal?

Proposals can be as quiet and inexpensive or as lavish and grand as you wish! We recommend that you consider your partner’s personality when making this decision.

For more involved proposals, we strongly encourage you to hire a professional proposal planner to take the stress out of your planning (and allow you to enjoy this special moment, too!) To give you an idea of cost, our proposal planning services here at Just Marry! start at $1,000.00 plus the cost of any services you might wish (photography, floral, decor, etc.)

Even if you’re planning a private proposal at home or somewhere without an admission fee, we suggest budgeting at least $250 for some pretty flowers, lighting (candles, LED lights, twinkle lights, etc.), and some bubbly to make the moment truly special!

Do I need an Orlando proposal planner?

This depends entirely on what you envision! If you’re going to hire any professionals at all, such as a photographer, videographer, florist, or caterer, then, yes–you should 100% hire a proposal planner. Your proposal planner will be your single point of contact who organizes everything for you, and they will make sure your proposal happens just as you want it.

You don’t need to be fielding calls or texts to make sure everything is perfect for your big moment, just as you don’t need to be stressed about whether you need any special permits or insurance coverage for your vendors to be on site at your preferred location. That’s what we’re here for!

What is the best time of year to get engaged in Orlando?

The winter holidays remain the most popular time of year to get engaged, and with good reason! Not only are people usually in great spirits, the weather is beautiful that time of year here in Orlando, and all the area parks, hotels, and attractions are festively decorated.

If you’re hoping to avoid the inflated costs of accommodations around Christmas and New Year’s, consider venturing to Orlando in January or February. The crowds are lighter and rates are lower, making it the perfect time for a romantic getaway!
