PROPOSING IN WILLIAMSBURG?
There are many spots for proposing in Williamsburg that are ideal. Here are our top 3.
Crim Dell – a romantic bridge hidden behind the Sunken Gardens of William and Mary College, this spot has seen many a proposal in its time.
The River – in our area we have not just one, but TWO scenic rivers: the James and the York, both a short, beautiful drive away via the Virginia 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 to get on one knee.
