Lucky you are reading this, because we have the best spots and proposal ideas for a Sydney Observatory Proposal. So, keep reading to find out how you can have the proposal of your dreams!
Observatory Hill Rotunda Proposal
Let’s start with the pièce de resistance, the Sydney Observatory Hill Rotunda!
We have created every proposal idea under the sun inside of the Sydney Observatory Hill Rotunda. From light up letter proposals, romantic table for two proposals, cosy picnic proposals, to Igloo proposals. You will capture stunning Sydney Harbour views in your photos because the rotunda is raised. Your partner also won’t be able to see the proposal setting until they walk up the stairs. This will create the ultimate SURPRISE PROPOSAL!
The major advantage to having your Sydney Observatory Proposal in the rotunda is that is a great wet weather plan! Rain, hail or shine, your proposal can go ahead inside of the rotunda. So, you will be protected from any weather without having to move to an indoor venue for your proposal!
Booking the Observatory Hill Rotunda
Not many people know that the rotunda needs to be booked with the City of Sydney council. You will need to fill out a booking form and pay a hire fee to secure it for your proposal. We don’t want you to show up and it already be taken by another event!
Fairy Light Tree Proposal
If you are into a more magical and fairytale-esk proposal, walk a couple of hundred meters away from the Sydney Observatory Hill Rotunda and you will stumble upon the most EPIC tree perfect for a fairy lit proposal! This is a perfect proposal idea if you want a super romantic, intimate, and moody proposal experience with your partner. You can string fairy lights up the tree trunks and surround the tree with glowing candles, roses, and rose petals. Propose just before sunset and capture some INCREDIBLE photos of the both of you wrapped in the fairy lights. Straight from a Pinterest board!
Sandstone Platform Proposal
One of the lesser-known spots that is perfect for a Sydney Observatory Proposal is on the Sandstone Platform just next to the rotunda. This is a great option if you do not want to book the rotunda and the weather is looking sunny for your proposal day! The Sandstone Platform is the perfect size to fit gorgeous “MARRY ME” light up letters or a beautiful floral love heart backdrop. Because the council allows pyrotechnic sparks for Sydney Observatory Proposals, you can add that extra touch of extravagance to your proposal!
You can even have your partner’s family and friends hide behind the back of the Sandstone Platform and jump out to surprise your partner and celebrate with you after the proposal moment! If Sydney Observatory Hill Park is on the busier side on your proposal date, you might even get a happy cheer from the bystanders enjoying their own picnics, which is always fun!
Observatory Hill Park Proposal
The park is also perfect for a Sydney Observatory Picnic Proposal! Lay out the picnic rugs, pull out the picnic basket and have a delicious cheeseboard or chocolate dipped strawberries ready for you and your partner to enjoy after the proposal moment. Even better, have us help you create an incredible stylised picnic proposal with stunning florals, candles, rose petals and romantic background music to serenade you through your proposal experience! Then sip away on a glass of champagne or red wine and enjoy a more relaxed and chilled-out proposal experience. No matter where you sit in the park for your Sydney Observatory Proposal, there are panoramic views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Harbour. You can also have a professional photographer capture your proposal moment and take you around to all the different spots around Sydney Observatory for your mini photo-shoot!
