And since Helzberg was born in KC, we know the best spots to pop the question! Here are the most romantic places in Kansas City for your proposal.
Kansas City Union Station
Looking for a retro engagement destination? Union Station is tough to beat. Dating back to 1914, this historic structure stands out for its vintage, rustic architecture and photo-worthy backgrounds.
Overlooking the city's most famous historical buildings, Union Station is known for being one of the best places to take pictures in Kansas City. Choose from several great spots for your proposals, including the epic Grand Hall, which features 3,500-pound chandeliers, 95-foot ceilings and a 6-foot vintage clock hanging from the central arch.
Lake Quivira
Surrounded by striking rolling fairways, this beautiful lake is the perfect spot for a proposal. Stroll the beaten trails that wind through the trees until you find the ideal place to take a knee. If you want a golden-hour proposal, head to the lakeside as the sun sinks low on the horizon.
Unity Village
Talk about epic backdrops. Unity Village is a place of endless beauty and charm, surrounded by a thousand acres of wooded landscape. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this popular proposal site is known for its rose gardens and expansive green lawns. But the cobblestone pathways and Mediterranean feel will make your proposal even more memorable.
Kauffman Stadium
When you think of the most romantic spots in Kansas City, Kauffman Stadium probably doesn't come to mind. For many, however, the thrill of a public proposal makes this venue a popular place to pop the question. If you're a big baseball fan, you can even have your wedding reception at this downtown KC fixture.
Mill Creek Park Fountain
Formerly J. C. Nichols Memorial Fountain, Mill Creek Park fountain was imported from New York more than 70 years ago. Over the years, it's become the most photographed Kansas City fountain. Cast in France in 1910, the bronze fountain depicts four heroic horsemen, representing the world's mightiest rivers. The fountain is illuminated at night, making it a gorgeous place to propose once the sun dips below the horizon.
Loose Park
This 75-acre park's varied beauty offers several great proposal sites in one. The beaten natural trails, stunning fountain and quaint, rustic bridges are all perfect for a proposal. Our recommendation? Find a spot near the lake with the beautiful fountain as a backdrop.
Powell Gardens
Color your proposal with nature's beauty at this breathtaking botanical garden. In addition to all kinds of flora, this gorgeous space includes a rock and waterfall garden, a meadow full of wildflowers and a lake dotted with lily pads. Check the calendar for events like cooking demonstrations by local chefs and the summer butterfly festival — all helpful if you need to cover a surprise proposal!
