Private Wedding Proposal Ideas Toronto

If your partner is a little shy or the bustle of city life can be overwhelming it may be the best idea to choose a private marriage proposal location. While this is a little more difficult in Toronto it’s not impossible. I’ve put together this article on all the different options that are worth considering. I hope it helps you!

Photo Studios

The benefit of proposing in Toronto is that there are many very beautiful photography studios. They’re not simply white walls. They’re stylish and sometimes they even have beautiful floral setups throughout the year. This is especially true of Mint Room and Preto. If you managed to coordinate this with your big day it would be so romantic and effortless!

Rent A Space

Nothing gets more private than renting a space all to yourself. This guarantees that no one will get in the way of your proposal photography or stop to watch your intimate moment. Options to consider includes Airbnbs, event spaces, hotel conference rooms, condo event rooms, restaurant private sections, rooftops, etc. Finding the right space for you may take a while but it will be worth it when you find the perfect fit!

Quiet Days, Times and Sunrise

Believe it or not, the day of the week and time of day plays a big role in how busy a location is. When considering a Toronto proposal location it’s useful to check out Google Maps’ “Popular Times” tool. Typically Monday evenings are pretty quiet at most places. Really want to use a popular spot? All is not lost! Plan a sunrise proposal to ensure everyone is still asleep. You’ll have the whole place to yourself!

Inherently Secluded Locations

There are a bunch of hidden gems throughout Toronto that for some reason or another are naturally quiet. Of course, the further you get from the downtown core the quieter it is. If you’re not completely set on proposing in the heart of the city I would recommend considering locations in Scarborough and Etobicoke. Some central Toronto locations that tend to be secluded are:

  • Osgoode Hall
  • RC Harris Water Plant
  • Ontario Place
  • Ward’s Island
  • Evergreen Brick Works

At Home

Still don’t think any of these work for you? Maybe the best idea is to pop the big question where they are most comfortable. Your home! Additionally, this lends very well to being a complete surprise. Light a ton of candles, put on their favourite song, pick up some stunning flowers and order in a meal they love. This is just as romantic as a grand gesture. However, don’t forget to still book a photographer. 🙂
