5 Top Locations in Rome for an Unforgettable Marriage Proposal

Scroll Down

When it comes to love and romance, Rome is unrivaled. With its millennia of history, picturesque alleyways, and dreamy sunsets, the Eternal City offers the most enchanting backdrops for a moment as significant as a marriage proposal. If you are planning to pop the question in this magical city, here are the 5 most ideal locations, ranging from the most intimate to the most iconic.

1. The Orange Garden (Giardino degli Aranci): An Intimate and Enchanted Atmosphere

In the heart of the Aventine district, the Orange Garden is a peaceful oasis offering one of the most spectacular views of Rome. Its tranquil setting, surrounded by orange trees and hidden pathways, is the perfect spot for an intimate and romantic proposal.

 

2. Ponte Sant’Angelo: A Historical Backdrop

Ponte Sant’Angelo, with its unparalleled view of Castel Sant’Angelo and St. Peter’s Basilica, is a place rich in history and charm. A proposal here, especially at sunset, is a picture-perfect moment, ideal for being captured in a photo.

 

3. The Pincio Terrace: Breathtaking Panorama

Located above Piazza del Popolo, the Pincio Terrace offers one of the most spectacular panoramas of the city. With a view that encompasses everything from St. Peter’s to the Roman hills, a proposal here will be surrounded by a dreamlike landscape.

Close to the Pincian Hill, the Terrazza del Belvedere offers an astounding backdrop, especially enchanting when it rains. The rain creates magical reflections, adding a unique and romantic atmosphere that is perfect for a memorable proposal.

 

4. The Trevi Fountain: A Timeless Classic

The Trevi Fountain, with its majestic architecture and crystal-clear waters, is one of Rome’s most well-known and beloved symbols. A proposal in front of this Baroque masterpiece, under the gentle light illuminating the sculptures, creates a moment of pure magic. Moreover, according to tradition, throwing a coin over your left shoulder with your right hand while standing with your back to the fountain ensures a return to Rome: a romantic gesture that can symbolize the promise of a future together.

Two Coins for Love: The lovers’ tradition at the Trevi Fountain involves throwing two coins: one to ensure a return to Rome, and the second to wish for love or a successful marriage. This romantic custom is a popular part of Rome’s allure, attracting couples seeking to celebrate and hope for their future together.

 

5. The Colosseum: Rome’s Icon

Lastly, for those who desire a truly epic proposal, the Colosseum remains an unbeatable choice. This symbol of Rome, witness to millennia of history, makes every moment spent in its presence a memorable event.

 

Conclusion

Choosing the right location is just the first step toward a perfect proposal. We can help you capture the essence of these magical moments, giving you memories that will last a lifetime.

We had an amazing experience with Maria! She was great with communication both before the shoot, and afterwards. She was wonderful with my kids (which isn’t always easy) and everyone had so much fun with her. This experience was easy, fun, memorable, and well priced for the amount of time and care that Maria puts in to the session. You will not be disappointed! 5 stars!!!

It went better than expected, Maria was already waiting at our agreed upon spot and captured the very especially moment.
She provided great recommendations for dinner afterwords and it was a blast working with her. She is very knowledgeable about where the best shots would be taken, very inviting and personable and when we 100% recommend booking with her!

Happy to review working with Maria was one of our FAVORITE parts of our journey to Rome. Not to mention, she was able to capture memories we will look back on forever. I cannot stop raving about how great she was – from her energy, excitement, and especially her work. She is professional, clear in her communications and fun to shoot with. We received our photos within a few days of our photoshoot and they were easy to download from there. I HIGHLY recommend working with Maria – you won’t regret it!

Maria was amazing through the entire process. She was early to our shoot, was able to squeeze in two locations, and even stood in the rain. The pictures were absolutely beautiful and she made us feel so comfortable. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone wanting to take amazing photos in Rome!

I was hoping and praying for a great experience, and I’m not really sure what I expected, but whatever that was Maria surpassed! She was amazing guiding us and making us both feel comfortable as we were both so nervous to begin with. She asked us a lot of questions and personalised the shoot to what we were after 5/5 stars!
