As a wedding planner in San Antonio, I'm here to help guide you through every step – from planning the perfect proposal to executing your dream wedding. Here are five of the most romantic proposal setup ideas in San Antonio that will make your partner say “Yes!”.
1. The River Walk at Sunset
Picture this: you're floating down the San Antonio River Walk in a private boat, just as the sun sets, casting a golden glow over the water. You pull up to one of the quaint bridges, get down on one knee, and ask the most important question of your life.
Proposal Tip: To make the moment even more special, consider hiring musicians to serenade you or arranging for a photographer to capture the moment from a nearby spot. Also, keep in mind the time and day you’d like to propose, a holiday or a Christmas parade might make the proposal a tad chaotic and will be too crowded but sweet candid pictures.
