PROPOSING IN WILLIAMSBURG?

Many spots for proposing in Williamsburg are ideal. Here are our top 3.

Crim Dell is a romantic bridge hidden behind the Sunken Gardens of William and Mary College. This spot has seen many proposals.

The River—In our area, we have not just one but TWO scenic rivers: the James and the York. Both are a short, beautiful drive away via the Colonial Parkway. Sunset on the river is an unforgettable place to pop the question.

Lake Matoaka Amphitheater—This gorgeous outdoor theatre, hidden in the college woods, is a perfect backdrop for getting on one knee.
