Proposal at Castle Hill

Hello all! I am planning on proposing to my girlfriend in April at Castle Hill. I will be going there before that day to scope out a good spot for it. Can anyone give me any thoughts on this? Any good ideas? Originally thinking near the lighthouse, but not sure if this would be the best spot - anything better?

Thank you!

IMO, that%26#39;s probably your best bet...it%26#39;s down a path that will be more ssecluded, especially in April. It will be interesting to see if some people have other options....

Most of the people I deal with in the summer have severe difficulty getting to the lighthouse over there. Either they don%26#39;t know which road to take or it%26#39;s blocked off or something. Just a heads up because I always have people come into my visitor center asking how to get to the lighthouse and they never can.

There is no vehicle access to the lighthouse. You have to park in either the lower or upper parking lots and then walk to the lighthouse. In good weather it is a beautiful walk; in poor weather it can be less exciting.

Another location is the wedding photo area on the edge of the water just above the wedding tent area.

If the weather does not cooperate, you can also speak with the hotel staff to arrange something indoors.

My husband and I were at dinner there one evening when the wait staff came to a young couple%26#39;s table with a small cake with a lit candle. When the woman said, ';What%26#39;s this for?';, he said, ';pick it up';, and underneath was a ring in small box. He then said, ';Will you marry me?';, and when she said yes the entire dining room started clapping. I%26#39;ve often wondered what we would have done if she said, ';I%26#39;ve got to think about it';?

Local Observer... that is adorable.

Yes, it%26#39;s true if the weather does not cooperate it can be a long walk but we have never had any trouble finding it. (see my icon) ;)

Thanks for your replies! One thing that is now on my mind....what if it rains? Is there anywhere (besides the restaurant) where I could pop the question where weather wouldn%26#39;t be an issue (as a plan B)? only two weeks away!

Thank you for your help!

There is no gazebo or other sheltered outdoor area at this time of year.

You could always use the inn%26#39;s bar/lounge if you are not staying there or eating there; it is usually fairly quiet at this time of year.

It is stunning at sunset outside on the lawn, but I agree if the weather is not cooperating the bar area is typically quiet, but very elegant, as a plan B. Either way its a beautiful place and I%26#39;m sure she will be thrilled! Good Luck!

Thanks for everyone%26#39;s help. We were able to go with a plan B indoors and the staff was great. They set up the table upstairs in the Turret Suite - it was an amazing time!

(and she said yes!)

Glad it went well, and congratulations!

Was it raining? What made you divert to Plan B?
