Nicholson Street Compton Oak
In the heart of Williamsburg lies a 70-foot tall oak tree with branches that reach over 97 feet out. This is a dreamy spot for an intimate picnic, a must-see during peak foliage season, or for a show-stopping proposal. While this tree is in the center of Colonial Williamsburg and across the street from the St. George Tucker House, it offers a peaceful retreat as many people do not go out of their way to bask in the canopy’s shade. You can have the entire site to yourself and take some incredible engagement photos together.
If you are looking for that traditionally classic dinner engagement, Le Yaca is the place to go. This romantic French restaurant is a popular destination for anniversaries, birthday celebrations, and any special occasion. Pop the question with a glass of champagne or have it delivered with dessert for a special engagement that will never go out of style.
One of the most romantic activities in Colonial Williamsburg is a horse-drawn carriage ride around town. You can’t reserve rides in advance, but you can purchase your tickets the day of. Get there early in the morning to pick your time and plan your day around it. They have a variety of carriages from multi-family to the Romantic Wythe that would be a Cinderella-worthy proposal. Pop the question during your romantic ride and spend the rest of the day celebrating.
