Explore the best places to propose in Chicago
A proposal is where a couple takes the next step in building a life together. It's a milestone moment in your life that demands just the right setting. That might be a quiet, romantic dinner for two at your favorite restaurant, dancing at a live music performance, or something else entirely.
Proposal venues should not be taken lightly and it's worth looking into places to rent. A proposal space in Chicago gives you all of the privacy you want, with no prying eyes, phones, or nosy people crowding you. You can have a heartfelt conversation free of distractions and wait for just the right moment to make your move. Whether your dream proposal takes place in a restaurant, lounge, art gallery, or lakeside park, Chicago has no shortage of beautiful and romantic venues to choose from.

Scenic places to propose in Chicago
Any place you're planning to propose should be a scenic spot! Beautiful surroundings heightens the mood, makes the day just a bit more special, and puts everyone in a light mood. Elegant surroundings are traditional, such as fine dining establishments, ballrooms, private dining halls, or rooftop lounges.
A romantic weekend getaway at a historic hotel downtown is another option. Many Chicago hotels have spas, salons, buffets, and other ways to treat your partner and show your love before you pop the question. Chicago hotels are not only beautiful but historic, with European architectural flourishes, ball rooms, and stories that go back over a century. What better place to hold a Chicago proposal than a building that's thoroughly enmeshed in the city's history?

Private rooftop proposal in Chicago
Rooftop restaurants, bars, and lounges are a great place to enjoy dinner before making your proposal. Not to mention there are few images more romantic than holding your proposal in a space with a city skyline view. The glittering backdrop of Chicago atop a city skyscraper is an unforgettable experience for everyone. Great dining options for a proposal dinner include Japanese, French, Brazilian steakhouse, Asian fusion, and other global cuisines. That said, Chicago's New American fare is also some of the best in the country.
Private proposals in a restaurant rented out for just the two of you make it easier to capture beautiful photographs as well. But don't forget to include a hidden proposal photographer to capture her reaction! Renting the entire rooftop proposal venue for yourselves ensures the moment you make your proposal won't be crowded by people in the background.
