Best Proposal Spots in Asheville
The Biltmore Estate
The Biltmore Estate is one of the most popular spots for susprise proposals in Asheville - and for good reason. With multiple proposal locations (and even a completely covered and scenic area if there’s inclement weather) your proposal photos will be as unique as your relationship is. Check out our blog post on the Best Place to Propose at The Biltmore Estate.
The Botanical Gardens at Asheville
The Botanical Gardens at Asheville is one of our favorite easy access, free, and gorgeous locations for your marriage proposal. Feel free to incorporate a luxury picnic, some decor, or keep the emphasis on the natural beauty surrounding you as you pop the question to your forever partner.
The North Carolina Arboretum
The North Carolina Arboretum is nature lover’s heaven, and provides some of our favorite gardens, walking trails, and forests all in the same location. With accessible walking paths and lots of great scenery, this is a great location for your marriage proposal.
Bearwallow Mountain
Bearwallow Mountain gives you a mountain top proposal without a huge drive from downtown Asheville. With a 1-mile hike to the top, this is the perfect proposal spot for more adventurous, outdoorsy couples.
Capital Club of Asheville
With many rooftop bars to choose from in Asheville, NC, our favorite is the Capital Club of Asheville. With the option to rent out the space to make your Asheville proposal as intimate as possible, and the mountains in the background, this is a great spot for something more urban, and a spot to set up marquee letters, flower petals, candles, or anything else.
Black Balsam Knob
A popular (for a good reason) blue ridge parkway proposal spot is the Black Balsam Knob trail. About 60-minutes from downtown, and a 0.3 mile hike to the first overlook, the effort it takes to propose here is rewarded in the amazing panoramic views for your surprise proposal.
