The Five Most Romantic Ways to Propose this Engagement Season!
It’s engagement season, here are our top five romantic, creative and unforgettable ways to pop the question!
A Little Inspiration for the Perfect “Yes”
When it comes to proposing, there’s no rulebook, just one very big question and (hopefully) one very big yes! but if you’re looking to make your proposal unforgettable, the stats don’t lie: most couples want something private, meaningful, and full of heart.
So, we’ve done the research and sprinkled in a touch of our countryside charm to bring you the ultimate five ways to propose, guaranteed to melt hearts and make memories.
The “Just Us” Moment
Trend: 69% of couples prefer a private proposal.
It turns out that romance doesn’t need an audience, just the two of you, a quiet setting and a heartfelt “Will you marry me?”
Think: a stroll through the wildflower meadow, a private dinner in your favourite place, or a candlelit evening at home. Keep it intimate, genuine, and focused on the moment that truly matters, the one you’ll both remember forever.
At Thetford Farm Barn: We know the perfect proposal location! Imagine a hidden courtyard set for two, fairy lights overhead and not a single soul in sight. Just the countryside, the stars and your forever person…speak to Georgia to find out more!
The Destination Surprise
Trend: Over 38% of proposals happen while on holiday.
There’s something about being away from it all that makes a proposal feel even more magical, maybe it’s the sunsets, maybe it’s the cocktails, or maybe it’s the fact you remembered to pack the ring this time?!
Whether it’s a weekend away or a countryside escape, plan a special spot that feels a little out of the ordinary because every love story deserves a little adventure.
At Thetford Farm Barn: Why travel miles when you can escape to the Lincolnshire countryside? Think roaring fires, rolling fields, and luxury rural charm, a perfect staycation backdrop for a surprise question.

The Dinner Date That Changes Everything
Trend: Romantic meals remain one of the top-ranked proposal settings.
They think it’s just another date night but little do they know there’s a ring in your pocket and a lifetime in your plans. Keep it classic: candlelight, good wine, soft music, and your best speech (shorter is better; nerves are real).
At Thetford Farm Barn: Partner with one of our private chefs or caterers for an intimate dining experience. Imagine a private table in the barn, just the two of you and a bottle of something sparkling.
The Seasonal “Say Yes”
Trend: Many proposals happen during special occasions like Christmas, birthdays, or anniversaries.
Timing is everything and sometimes, the perfect moment is already wrapped in tinsel or surrounded by autumn leaves. Proposing during a season that means something to you both makes the memory extra special (and easy to remember for anniversaries).
Spring: A proposal surrounded by blossoms.
Summer: A countryside sunset and a chilled glass of fizz.
Autumn: Golden leaves and cosy countryside vibes.
Winter: Snowfall, fairy lights, and a hint of Christmas magic.
At Thetford Farm Barn: Each season transforms the venue from summer wildflowers to winter sparkle meaning your perfect proposal moment is always in season.
The Picture-Perfect Capture
Trend: 1 in 4 couples now hire a photographer to capture the proposal.
That priceless reaction deserves to be remembered! Whether it’s secretly arranged or part of a “casual photoshoot,” having the moment caught on camera is a trend worth following.
At Thetford Farm Barn: We work closely with some of Lincolnshire’s most talented photographers and they’re pros at staying hidden until the big reveal. (Bonus: you’ll already have your first engagement photo!)
