St. Augustine is widely considered one of Florida’s most romantic destinations, with no shortage of beautiful settings. Historic inns and lighthouse locations offer memorable backdrops for the moment to pop the question.
Historic Inns: Timeless Places to Propose
Among the most memorable places to propose in St. Augustine are the city’s beautiful Historic Inns. Thoughtful details make it easy to create a personal, meaningful proposal. Private balconies, roses, and more add to the romance.
Experienced innkeepers are also available to help plan the moment, offering guidance and local insight along the way. Once the question has been asked, there’s no better place to stay and celebrate than one of St. Augustine’s Historic Inns. Planning well in advance is recommended to ensure your preferred room is available.
Unparalleled Intimacy
Restaurants, beaches, and even theme parks are popular proposal locations. But they don’t always provide the level of intimacy many couples are looking for. A proposal at one of our inns offers a more private and personal experience. Consider setting the mood with your favorite music or relaxing together by a softly lit fireplace with a special treat.
Instead of a crowded restaurant, enjoy quiet moments overlooking St. George Street. Or opt for a more meaningful setting away from busy attractions. After the proposal, enjoy a quiet moment together in the comfort of your room. When you’re ready, Historic Downtown awaits with bayfront walks and romantic horse-and-carriage rides.
The Birth of a Tradition
Over the years, many couples have chosen one of our inns as the place to ask one of life’s most important questions. For many, this moment becomes the start of a lasting tradition. After marriage, couples often return year after year on the anniversary of their proposal to celebrate together.
In some cases, they even come back with their children to share those memories as a family. For many guests, returning to the inn where it all began becomes one of their most cherished moments.
