3 Best Places to Propose in Barrington, IL

1. Catlow Theater

Perhaps you’re a cinephile or just appreciate the small moments, in which case you should consider a proposal at a classic first date location: our old-time, historic single-screen movie theater known as Catlow Theater, located at 116 W Main St, Barrington, IL, 476 ft (1-minute drive) from Barrington, IL. She’ll love reaching her hand into your shared bag of popcorn only to find your hand already in there with a diamond engagement ring clasped inside.

2. Battle House Tactical Laser Tag

Or, if you’re looking for a more adventurous proposal style, you could head to Battle House Tactical Laser Tag, 28039 W Northpointe Pkwy #4, Lake Barrington, IL, 4.2 (11-minute drive) from Barrington, IL, for a fun and exciting engagement moment she’ll never see coming. Expose yourself to getting hit by her laser and then drop to one knee while she’s overcome with the power and dominance this fast-paced environment yields in us all. That will all disappear when she’ll surely burst into tears from the sheer shock of your unique proposal idea and you’ll go down in history as MVP.

3. McGonigal’s Pub | The Loft

Of course, you could always sit back, relax, and enjoy a couple of beverages at McGonigal’s Pub | The Loft, 105 S Cook St, Barrington, IL, 0.1 miles (1-minute drive) from Barrington, IL, where your diamond ring reveal will be intimate and meaningful. You could even drop the ring in her pint when she’s not looking and watch her discover it for herself! But whatever you do, don’t challenge her to a chugging competition while it’s down there!

Barrington, IL, Love Story and Proposal : Samantha + Jordan

How They Met: Samantha and Jordan met in high school all the way back in 2005. They studied in the same Spanish class but barely spoke to each other at the time. They both recall having a project they had to do together but Jordan got sick with Mono the week they had to present and Samantha had to do it on her own. That must’ve sealed the deal! (unlikely…)

They graduated and both continued on with their lives and seven years later, they reconnected at a party while they were both visiting back home. They exchanged phone numbers and started texting casually. Jordan finally got the courage to officially ask Samantha out on a proper date, and then another, and another. Within two months, the two decided to make it “legit” and date each other exclusively.

Since then, they have grown a lot together, experiencing big life events and changes like new careers, purchasing new homes, and getting their first pet together. They really are a match made in heaven and look forward to spending the rest of their lives together.

How they asked: Jordan and Samantha had been planning on taking their puppy somewhere at a nice outdoor location and taking some holiday photos to send to family and friends. They decided to go to Cuba Marsh Forest Preserve in their hometown of Barrington, IL.

After about an hour of walking around and taking some shots at different spots, Jordan mentioned it would be nice to get the pup in a different more festive collar. Samantha thought nothing of it and didn’t even really pay attention to him changing the collar.

Jordan realized Samantha probably wouldn’t really notice, so he finally told her to look at the collar and pretend to fix it for one of the shots. All of a sudden, Samantha read the message on the little puppy tag which read “Will You Marry My Daddy”. She burst into tears and said, “yes!” and they got it all on camera! What a treat!
