First comes love, then comes marriage, right? Wrong. There's a big step in-between that involves popping the big question: "Will you marry me?" If things are getting serious between you and your significant other, here are some seriously great spots in Buffalo to plan your epic proposal:
1. City Hall (65 Niagara Square)
You've heard of getting married at City Hall, but did you know that Buffalo's City Hall also serves as a beautiful backdrop for popping the question? Whether you ask on the steps, near the fountain, or while looking at the city from the observation deck, your soon-to-be fiancé will love this location!
2. Delaware Park (Meadow Drive)
Take a romantic stroll through Delaware Park and plan your proposal under a weeping willow tree to cue the happy tears!
3. Buffalo History Museum (1 Museum Court)
Stand on the steps of the Buffalo History Museum and ask your love to make history with you while you look out over the blooming cherry blossom trees. Pack a picnic basket after they say "Yes" to celebrate your upcoming nuptials at the Japanese Garden!
4. Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens (2655 South Park Avenue)
What could be more romantic than asking your significant other to marry you while they're surrounded by beautiful blooms? An added bonus of proposing at the Botanical Gardens: you can start getting ideas for wedding flowers on the spot!
5. North Park Theatre (1428 Hertel Avenue)
Treat your love to a movie date and watch their eyes light up when they notice the big question illuminated on the marquee at the North Park Theatre!
6. Canalside (44 Prime Street)
If you're not bothered by crowds, Canalside at dusk or dark provides a picturesque backdrop for your proposal. Plus, with so many people wandering around, chances are at least someone will snap a photo when you drop to one knee!
7. Eternal Flame Falls (Eternal Flame Hiking Trail, Orchard Park)
When you're asking someone to spend eternity with you, a proposal at the Eternal Flame just makes sense.
8. Moondance Catamaran (329 Erie Street)
If you want your family and friends around to witness your engagement, invite them for a boat ride on the Moondance Catamaran! Ask the question while you're sailing over Lake Erie and spend the rest of the time celebrating!
9. Niagara Falls
It might be cliche, but we couldn't leave Niagara Falls off this list. It's no wonder so many people get engaged here!
10. Niagara Wine Trail
Pop the question then pop the cork off a bottle of wine along the Niagara Wine Trail! The sprawling vineyards also make a great photo-op, for those looking to hire a photographer to document the proposal!
11. Tifft Nature Preserve (1200 Fuhrmann Boulevard)
If nature is your thing, head to Tifft and enjoy peaceful surroundings for your proposal. Watching the sunset over Tifft Nature Preserve is a pretty romantic way to spend your first evening as an engaged couple, wouldn't you agree?
