3 Best Places to Propose in Tallahassee, FL

1. St. Mark’s National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Centre

Visit St. Mark’s National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Centre, 255 Lighthouse Road, Crawfordville, FL, 22.6 miles (33-minute drive) from Tallahassee, FL, to discover all sorts of species including black bear, otter, alligator, and catch the bird migration trail. You can hike or cycle through part of the 68,000-acre refuge and propose surrounded by nature.

Here is a personal guest visit review to help you make up your mind:

“Gorgeous and calming place to walk around and see Florida’s natural beauty! With it being our first time visiting St. Marks, we didn’t know what to expect but it will most definitely not be our last. What a fantastic area to explore with your love. We were so excited about spotting flamingo and the vermillion flycatcher which aren’t usually found in this specific region. A super enjoyable day, that’s for sure. We saw lots of excited bird-watchers and loved meeting other animal and wildlife enthusiasts who share our great love of the outdoors. Especially memorable were the several alligators suntanning. They were calm and didn’t scare me like I thought they might. Perhaps I’m biased because I was proposed to in this stunning Florida location, but I highly recommend visiting, with or without a diamond ring. Just make sure it doesn’t fall into the water!” – Patty

2. St. Mark’s Lighthouse

You can also choose to pop the question at St. Mark’s Lighthouse, Crawfordville, FL, 32327, which is 29.2 miles (46-minute drive) from Tallahassee, FL, and look out at stunning views of the Apalachee Bay before presenting your love with a dazzling diamond ring.

3. Florida State University

Whether it’s your alma mater or not, the fountain at the center of the Florida State University campus grounds, located at 600 W College Ave, Tallahassee, FL, 1.4 miles (6-minute drive) from Tallahassee, FL, is quite the sight to see and an incredibly romantic proposal site for your Tallahassee, FL, diamond engagement.

Tallahassee, FL, Proposal and Love Story : Mike and Tash

How They Met:

Mike and Tash both attended the University of Florida but didn’t meet until years after graduating. When they completed their programs, Mike moved to Tallahassee, FL, to continue working in politics while Tash picked up and began her journey to Denver, CO. Her younger sister studied political science at Florida State University in Tallahassee, FL, and met Mike while working on a legislative bill. She introduced Mike and Tash, and eventually Tash moved back home to Tallahassee. The two began dating and have been inseparable ever since.

How They Asked:

Mike and Tash both live in Tallahassee, FL, and take every opportunity to go on travel adventures when they get the chance. They randomly decided to fly to Chicago so that Mike could take Tash up the Willis Tower (once, the Sears Tower) and check out the Skydeck. Tash was excited to see a city she had always wanted to visit from such an incredible vantage point. Mike offered another couple standing close-by to take some pictures for them. After he was finished giving them a mini-photoshoot, he asked if they would return the favor.

Mike stood next to Tash and asked the person taking the photos if they would wait a second while he tied his shoe. He quickly did so, (or pretended to!) and stood up, ready to take a nice shot. He smiled, and asked for another few to be taken. He kissed Tash, did one where they made funny faces, and they suggested they both look down at the glass floor for the next one. When they both glanced downwards, Tash was shocked to notice a beautiful little open box, with a diamond engagement ring inside! Mike had inconspicuously put it there just as he was about to stand up from his shoe-tying antic. The next few pics perfectly captured the incredible moment when Tash realized what she was looking at, what had just happened, and what Mike was asking. Through hysterical laughter and tears, she said yes.
