Let’s get started and clear up all your doubts! Get comfortable!
But first…
What does a proposal consist of?
In the past, the proposal was a meeting between the bride’s parents, the groom’s parents and the couple, so that the future fiancé could formally ask his father-in-law for permission to marry his daughter, but times have changed and with time the proposal has been modernised. Now nothing is the same anymore!
Nowadays, the groom only wants to surprise his bride by taking her somewhere special, preparing her favourite food or music, in a beautiful, romantically decorated place, etc.
Sometimes, they also take friends or family to witness the beautiful moment, which can take place in a public place to be surrounded by people or in a private place for just the two of them.
And watch out! Because more and more brides are proposing to their boyfriends.
Why propose in Madrid?
Did you know that, above Las Vegas, Madrid has imposed itself as the best destination for events? As you have read it!
Whether it is because of the security of the destination, its wide cultural and leisure agenda, its unique venues, the wide range of hotels and internal connections, its spaces, landscapes, climate, gastronomy, as well as its green spaces, its connectivity, etc. Madrid is the best choice for a wedding proposal.
And not only for a proposal, but also for a wedding or any other type of event. Don’t miss this article on why you should choose Madrid for all types of events.
Where are the best places for a proposal in Madrid?
Retiro Park: Located in the centre of Madrid, the Retiro is one of the most beautiful and largest parks in the capital. Here you will find an endless number of corners and photogenic places perfect for your marriage proposal, such as the botanical garden of the Rosaleda, or the Palacio de Cristal. One of the best times to go is during the autumn, where you will witness a myriad of colours that will give an incredible look to your photos, besides, you will be able to spot numerous squirrels running around that will make your stay even more pleasant.
Temple of Debod: This beautiful building was a gift from the Egyptian country in gratitude for Spain’s help in saving the temples of Nubia. Its location is great as it is in one of the highest areas of Madrid and offers great views of the city. We recommend going at sunset to witness the spectacle offered by the combination of the pink sky and the careful lighting of the building, an ideal place to stroll with your partner and declare your love!
The Romantic Museum gardens: A place unknown to many, it even has a small café that will help you to awaken your feelings in the heart of Madrid and take you back to the 19th century in a unique and unrepeatable setting.
Cibeles Palace: If you want to enjoy breath-taking views during your marriage proposal, we recommend you to go to the terrace of the Palacio de las Comunicaciones, in Plaza Cibeles. Here you will not only visit one of the most emblematic buildings in the city, but you will also witness spectacular views of the capital that will leave your partner speechless.
Capricho Park: Its lush gardens will inspire the less skilled and the scenery will undoubtedly accompany you in this decisive moment of your life. Just don’t go during rush hour (it’s only open at weekends) or your marriage proposal will be accompanied by quite a crowd, unless that’s what you want!
Círculo de Bellas Artes Terrace: Do you like heights? Then this is your ideal place to declare your love while contemplating almost 360-degree views of Madrid. This rooftop, recently renovated, also has a restaurant and a terrace where you can celebrate your engagement with the best views, almost aerial, of this wonderful city.
In a restaurant: For the more traditional, this option is always a good choice, especially in Madrid, which is full of exclusive restaurants. We can give you ideas of many restaurants where you can certainly find a more secluded table where you will succeed.

You probably already know where you want to have your proposal in Madrid and which are the elements you want to have in that great moment: balloons, mimes, watercolours… but you don’t even know where to start organising it. We can help you!
If you already know the dream place that your girl will love and what is her favourite decoration to add to the space, now it’s time to think WHEN and HOW, and based on that get in touch with all the suppliers that will be necessary and let them know the day, place and time so that everything is ready: flowers, petals, giant letters, a violinist, cava…
In addition, you will also have to contact the photographer and videographer of your choice to capture this magical moment, something that cannot be left without photos and videos! It is a unique moment in life and deserves to be remembered.
It is also a good idea to book a restaurant to celebrate the engagement afterwards. And whether it’s lunch or dinner, you can’t miss a good cava to toast with.
But, our advice, above all, is to contact a professional to do all this for you and make it perfect, yes:
Leave EVERYTHING in the hands of professionals
The proposal is a very important moment, as it will always be remembered, that’s why it is necessary to have someone with experience to organise it well, who already knows how to manage it, who knows how to do everything well and who knows how to do it all and that everything is ready for the moment.
This way the bride won’t suspect anything and you can be sure that you won’t be caught red-handed!
