💍 Top 10 Places to Propose in Texas for the Fourth of July From Your Favorite Texas Wedding Venue
As a New Braunfels Wedding Venue located close to Austin and San Antonio, that has witnessed countless "I dos," we know that every great love story begins with a magical proposal. And what better time to pop the question than on the Fourth of July—when the sky is lit with fireworks, the mood is celebratory, and the love is absolutely electric?
Whether you're dreaming of a grand gesture or an intimate moment under the stars, here are our Top 10 Places to Propose in Texas this Independence Day:
1. The San Antonio River Walk
Romantic gondola rides, candlelit dinners, and fireworks reflecting in the water—this dreamy downtown destination is ideal for a surprise proposal after a riverside stroll.
2. Mount Bonnell – Austin
Known for its panoramic views of Lake Austin, Mount Bonnell is a serene, elevated spot perfect for a quiet sunset proposal right before fireworks light up the sky.
3. Galveston Beach Fireworks Show
Take a sunset walk on the sand, pop the question with the waves crashing in the background, and seal the moment with a kiss as fireworks erupt overhead.
4. The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden
Stroll through the beautifully manicured gardens, then propose with a picnic setup surrounded by blooms. Some areas even have a view of city skyline fireworks!
5. The Woodlands Waterway
A scenic, upscale destination just north of Houston—The Waterway is charming for a lakeside proposal followed by live music and dazzling fireworks.
6. Big Bend National Park
If you're an adventurous couple, nothing beats a quiet desert moment under the Milky Way. Bring sparklers, champagne, and let nature be your witness.
7. Klyde Warren Park – Dallas
A lively urban park with food trucks, live entertainment, and a great view of the Dallas skyline. Wait for the fireworks and drop to one knee—it’ll be unforgettable.
8. Lake Travis – Austin
Charter a boat or set up a lakeside picnic at The Oasis and propose with a fiery Texas sunset and
waterfront fireworks. It doesn’t get more romantic than this.
9. Gruene Hall – New Braunfels
For country music lovers and old-Texas charm, Gruene offers rustic vibes and summer music. Sneak away during the fireworks for a twinkling, star-lit proposal. Pro tip: the New Braunfels fire works show starts promptly at 9:15pm so make sure to get a good spot for that iconic photo!
10. At Our Venue 😉
Of course, we had to include ourselves! Our New Braunfels Wedding Venue offers sweeping views, elegant backdrops, and the ability to plan a custom, firework-lit proposal just for the two of you. Want a romantic setup? We do that. Want a full surprise engagement party after? We do that too. Being that we are pretty close to Landa Park, you just might get that perfect photo op when the skies are lit up by the gorgeous fireworks that our beautiful city displays!
Bonus Tip:Don’t forget to hire a photographer or videographer to capture the moment—especially if you’re planning to celebrate your future wedding with us!
