Proposal ideas for music lovers
Time to pop the question to that special someone in your life? Congratulations! If they’re a lover of music, or it’s a shared passion you have, adding a musical element could make the experience even more powerful and memorable. Here are some of our favourite ideas to go along with those engagement rings you’ve been looking at.
Personalised song proposal
For a truly personal touch, why not write or commission a song specifically for your partner and the proposal? You don’t have to be a professional musician to express your feelings through song.
Write some new lyrics to one of your favourite hits or create something completely new from scratch on your own or with an experienced musician. Once it’s ready, perform it live during the proposal or surprise your partner by playing a recorded version during your meaningful moment.
The best bit? You’ll have the song to cherish for the rest of your lives together.
Live concert, gig or festival proposal
If live music is one of your favourite things to experience together, a concert, gig or festival could be the perfect place to pop the question. It can be as public or as intimate as you like.
Ask the venue organisers or performers if you can do it on stage or get a shout-out. Or for a more private proposal, find a quiet corner and get down on one knee while the music is playing.
Imagine how special a proposal would be with one of your favourite artists playing live in the background.
A capella singers or private orchestra
Still want a more traditional proposal with a little musical infusion? Pick a special spot and hire some musicians to set the scene. Outside, inside, at home, out and about – have them waiting there to make the moment that little bit more mesmerising.
A capella singers can work wonders in creating a romantic, intimate setting, whether it’s just you two or with a group of people around. Likewise, a private orchestra with violinists, cellists or other types of musicians is the epitome of romance.
It’s the stuff of movies! But it doesn’t have to be just that.
Printed lyrics
If there’s a song that represents your journey together or the way you make each other feel, print the lyrics out and display them creatively. This could be in a letter, on a wall or somewhere temporarily in public.
While your partner reads through the song, get ready in position behind them. Watch their face as they turn around to you and a moment they’ll never forget. It’s a great proposal idea with a subtle nod to the music that unites you both.
