A romantic city proposal on top of Wrigley Mansion in Phoenix, AZ
When Andre reached out to me with help to plan a dreamy proposal in Phoenix, I was so excited. We discussed the options around North Phoenix and I had told him about Different Pointe of View, how our good friends got married there last April. He mentioned he couldn’t get a dinner reservation there but booked Geordie’s. This was a dream location that I’ve been meaning to check out so I went full send into planning mode.
Read on to see how this beautiful proposal bloomed for Andre and Hannah.
When you are planning to propose in a location you’ve never been to it’s immensely helpful to hire someone who can scope out locations. My partner and I made a reservation to check out the restaurant but also wanted to scout also the surrounding area. We knew Piestawa Park and Granada Park was nearby and wanted to provide some free locations for photos.
For couples considering Phoenix as their backdrop for proposals, I think either of these locations are great free options for sunset:
Piestawa Park Trails – We found this spot up some stairs and near a picnic area and thought it could have definitely worked
Granada Park – was a bit underwhelming with the dead winter grass, but there was this pretty Greek church in the distance that I would love to come back and photograph!
Andre (bless him) knew his babe wanted city views and ended up booking the private terrace for Hannah. Geordie’s charges ~$300 for a 2-hour reservation, but it does not include:
Decoration
Champagane or dinner
Photographer / Planner
You can pay more for their champagne and decoration package but we wanted something unique, so off to Trader Joe’s I went to buy all their white and greenery bouquets to start my decorating. Here is a little BTS I posted on my TikTok!
Once we got the space decorated, all that was left to do was set up my tripod and get in position for the couple to come down the stairs! They were under the impression they were on a “private garden tour” before their dinner reservation. When Hannah came down the stairs and saw the setup, she immediately started getting emotional. We pulled off the surprise of their lifetime and I am so happy for this adorable couple on the next chapter of building their lives together!
This was by far my most prideful proposal. I hope you enjoy these photos <3
