Updated: 7 days ago

Planning to pop the question in New Orleans — the city of jazz, vibrant streets, and timeless charm? 💍 Your heart is racing, your palms are sweaty, and you’re probably asking yourself: Where do I even start?

New Orleans is full of unique proposal possibilities, from historic architecture and lively French Quarter streets to hidden courtyards and romantic riverfront views. But don’t worry — with the right planning (and a little help from Take My Hand Proposals), your NOLA engagement can be magical, stress-free, and unforgettable.

Here are some of our favorite places to propose in New Orleans, from iconic spots to private hidden gems:

💍 1. Jackson Square

Located in the heart of the French Quarter, Jackson Square is a historic and iconic spot. Surrounded by beautiful architecture, street performers, and the Mississippi River nearby, it offers a vibrant yet romantic setting for your proposal.

Our team can help plan a private setup amid the energy, including flowers, candles, and a photographer to capture your special moment.

🌳 2. City Park

For couples who love lush greenery and quiet beauty, City Park is a dream. From the serene Botanical Gardens to the iconic oak-lined paths, this location is perfect for intimate and picturesque proposals.

With our help, you can create a custom setup — maybe a sunset picnic or a surprise on the Sculpture Garden bridge — for a moment that’s completely yours.

🌊 3. Mississippi Riverfront

The riverfront offers romantic views of the water, passing steamboats, and the city skyline. Whether it’s a casual daytime proposal or a sunset surprise, this spot is ideal for couples who love a mix of scenic beauty and city charm.

We can coordinate everything — from setup and décor to timing your proposal with the perfect sunset glow.

🎷 4. French Quarter Courtyards

Tucked-away courtyards and hidden gardens throughout the French Quarter provide charming, intimate settings for proposals. Many couples love the combination of historic architecture and private spaces that feel like your own secret NOLA getaway.

Our proposal planning team knows all the best private courtyards and can help customize your setup so your proposal is romantic, exclusive, and unforgettable.

🌆 5. Rooftop Views in the Quarter

Rooftops in New Orleans offer breathtaking views of the city and the Mississippi River. With twinkling city lights and the vibrant streets below, a rooftop proposal is both dramatic and intimate.

We can help you secure exclusive rooftop access, decorations, and photography, making your moment stress-free and cinematic.
