Montreal, with its stunning architecture, vibrant culture, and romantic ambiance, provides the perfect backdrop for a memorable marriage proposal. At Maison Karat, we believe that every proposal should be as unique and special as the love story it celebrates. To help you plan the perfect moment, we've put together a guide with creative proposal ideas and engagement ring suggestions that will make your proposal unforgettable.
1. Mount Royal Park

2. Old Montreal
Old Montreal's cobblestone streets, historic buildings, and charming atmosphere create a romantic setting for a proposal.

A vintage-inspired ring with intricate details and a cushion-cut diamond will complement the historic charm of the location.

3. Botanical Garden
The Montreal Botanical Garden, with its lush greenery and vibrant flowers, is a serene and picturesque location for a proposal.

A nature-inspired ring with floral motifs or a colored gemstone will harmonize with the surroundings.
Ring Suggestion: An engagement ring with a floral-inspired setting and a sapphire or emerald center stone.
4. Atwater Market
For a proposal that combines romance and local flavor, consider the Atwater Market.

6. La Grande Roue de Montréal
Take your proposal to new heights with La Grande Roue de Montréal, the city's iconic Ferris wheel. Propose at the top, with panoramic views of Montreal beneath you.
