Are you thinking of proposing but not sure where to start?
With my experienced knowledge in helping to plan proposals in the Great Smoky Mountains or Knoxville, I am here to assist you in making this process easy and unforgettable; whether it’s a romantic sunset proposal, an adventurous Anakeesta proposal, or a picnic proposal in the beautiful Cades Cove surrounded by mountains.
Anakeesta is considered one of the most famous Smoky Mountain View spots in town for proposals with delicious dining options. But it can get crowded especially during a busy season, sometimes, it requires waiting in line for several hours just to get in. Anakeesta provides thrilling activities like Zipline and Treetop Skywalk. This beautiful parklocated in the heart of Gatlinburg on the top of the mountain, and it offers beautiful Smoky Mountain views. Most of my clients propose at the most exciting spot Heart Twigloo. Check their website for entrance fees.
Cades Cove is a valley surrounded by the beautiful mountains. It is one of the most popular and most photographed destinations in the Smokies. If you are a more romantic person and you would love to get engaged in the rustic nature of the Smokies, I would suggest to choose a romantic proposal in Cades Cove. It is isolated valley located in the Tennessee section of the Great Smoky Mountains. It’s the most iconic spot in the area, full of wildlife, mountain scenery, waterfalls and historic buildings. It is also very popular spot for Intimate weddings and Elopements. However, keep in mind that it can get crowded during busy seasons. I don’t want you to get stuck in traffic. The Cades Cove loop road is 11 miles long, so there are many beautiful spots for pictures. Another thing to note is that there is no cell service, so you need to plan properly and be on time. A parking permit is required, you can purchase it right there before you go in.
Secret Spot
My favorite spot in the mountains is located between North Carolina and The Smoky Mountains. It is the most romantic spot to get engaged. If you are considering proposing in a romantic raw setting with a safe space and breathtaking views, I have the perfect magnificent spot for you! It will take most of your evening to visit it if you choose to propose during a sunset. So I will highly suggest to plan your dinner before your proposal. But I promise it will be worth it! You will get the most magical sunset proposal pictures that you wanted. Just let me know which one you like best, and I will plan accordingly to bring your vision to life.
