If you're ready to get married, you better start thinking of the place to pop the question. And make no mistake, the backdrop sets the stage for a story that will be told for years to come (but no pressure). Find inspiration with our list of the best places to propose in the USA.

New York, NY

If you've watched any rom-com set in New York City, you probably already have romantic notions about the Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park and the Empire State Building. While these sites are prime places to take a knee, NYC has countless other enchanting places to propose. Of course, there's the Statue of Liberty and Times Square, but don't sleep on the magical SeaGlass Carousel in Battery Park, The High Line park and The Met Cloisters in Washington Park.

Griffith Observatory (Los Angeles)

One of LA's most famous landmarks, Griffith Observatory overlooks the sprawling metropolitan area. The view makes it one of the world's most popular proposal sites. The best time to propose is right around the golden hour when lights start popping on throughout the city. Open until 10 p.m., Griffith Park is free and has more than 50 miles of hiking and walking trails, meaning your proposal options are nearly endless.

Grand Canyon, Arizona

Looking for a majestic site for your monumental moment? When it comes to awe-inspiring proposal backdrops, few places compare to the Grand Canyon. Imagine proposing amid vibrant red rocks set against the deep blue Colorado River. There's a reason the Grand Canyon is one of the best places to propose in America.

Las Vegas

Las Vegas offers all sorts of great places to pop the question. Think sweeping views of the city atop the Eiffel Tower Experience or the Bellagio Water Show at night. Prefer something a little outside the box? Consider the Seven Magic Mountains art installation, Red Rock Canyon or The Neon Museum. Any of these spots will help turn your proposal into a lifelong memory.

Walt Disney World® (FL) and Disneyland® (CA)

Walt Disney World and Disneyland — what better places to turn dreams into reality? Both Disney parks offer unique engagement ideas for any couple, whether you're looking to make a grand gesture or share a simple but unforgettable moment together.
