5 Unforgettable Proposal Spots in Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky

So, you found the one and you're ready to get engaged. Congratulations! Alongside picking out a ring and preparing for marriage, you must also consider where you want this unforgettable moment to take place. Whether it's a sentimental spot or somewhere you've never been, you'll want to choose somewhere memorable that captures who you are as a couple.

We're breaking down five different engagement locations in the Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky area.

Ault Park

Ault Park is an ideal location if you want beautiful flora and fauna surrounding your proposal. The park's well-kept grounds feature a rainbow of colorful flowers and trees, which add to the romantic outdoor setting. The park's cherry blossom season through March and April makes this an especially idyllic place for a springtime proposal.

If you're looking for a spot with a view, the Parisian-inspired architecture of the overlook will add a touch of elegance to your special moment. Many couples want to return to the place they got engaged during their anniversaries, and Ault Park is undoubtedly a spot you'll want to revisit often.

For the creative couple, we recommend getting engaged at the Cincinnati Art Museum. The museum is a great option for both indoor and outdoor proposals. For a beautiful backdrop, consider proposing in front of a historic Renaissance piece or landscape painting.

The museum's outdoor Art Climb steps, sculptures, and gardens are also picturesque spots to pop the question.

Of Cincinnati's many parks, nothing beats the skyline view of Northern Kentucky's expansive Devou Park. Located in Covington, this park offers a panoramic view of Cincinnati from the Memorial Overlook. There are also plenty of lawns, groves, and private areas that would be perfect for an intimate picnic proposal.

The serene natural surroundings of Burnet Woods make this a lovely location for the adventurous, nature-loving couple. Imagine walking or hiking along a trail at golden hour with the light peeking through the trees. The Burnet Woods Lake is also a beautiful feature to stop and admire. This peaceful location creates ample opportunity to set the mood before popping the question.

For the couple that likes downtown life, a rooftop spot like Vista at Lytle Park, Shires' Rooftop, or Rooftop at 21c is an exquisite option for a night of good food, drink, and urban ambiance. In order to make the most of this charming downtown setting, we recommend getting engaged at sunset.
