Planning the Perfect Proposal at Lower Marsh Farm
A proposal is one of life’s meaningful moments, and Lower Marsh Farm provides plenty of inspiration to make it truly unique. Here are some tips and ideas for crafting a memorable surprise proposal at this beautiful Cornish hideaway.
1. A picnic at the river
The river is a dreamy backdrop for a romantic picnic. Surprise your partner with a cosy setup -blankets, cushions, and their favourite treats. We can help provide blankets, set-up a camp fire and arrange a bespoke picnic, complete with local Cornish delicacies and sparkling wine to toast the occasion. We also provide guidance on timing, taking into account the tides, as well as sunrise and sunset, to ensure the perfect scenery.
2. Candlelit in the meadows
For a romantic evening proposal, take advantage of the farm’s picturesque grassy meadows. We can arrange a pathway lit by candles leading to a spot within the meadows, perhaps around the firepit (which we can light ready for you). As the sun sets, with views to the river, the enchanting surroundings make for an unforgettable setting. This intimate location allows you both to savour the moment in the quiet of nature.
3. Surprise on arrival
Have a beautiful floral display spelling out your proposal ready for your partner’s arrival (as shown in the picture) and a bottle of bubbly to celebrate. We can also arrange a ‘ready-to-heat’ supper waiting in the fridge for whenever you’re ready, or you might choose to indulge in a private chef for an unforgettable dining experience.
4. In the garden with a hot tub dip
Start with a relaxing dip in your hot tub before leading your partner to a beautifully decorated proposal spot, perhaps in one of our luxury yurts which we have prepared for you – picture soft lights, a few flowers, a fire in the log burner.
