Valentine’s Day

Few occasions rival Valentine’s Day when it comes to romance, and in 2025, it falls on a Friday— perfect for a long weekend celebration of your love. Virginia Beach’s stunning winter sunsets provide a dreamy backdrop for a beachfront proposal, with gentle waves adding to the ambiance as you bend down on one knee. If you prefer a more intimate setting, plan a candlelit dinner at one of Virginia Beach’s waterfront restaurants to make the moment even more special. For an added surprise, if you’re already planning a Valentine’s Day outing with your partner, they may be dazzled when you add an engagement ring to the mix!

The First Day of Spring

Spring symbolizes growth, renewal, and fresh beginnings, making March 20, 2025, another ideal day to propose to your beloved. Virginia Beach will be in full bloom with mild weather, making for many picturesque settings for this once-in-a-lifetime moment. Consider taking a romantic stroll through the Virginia Beach Botanical Garden surrounded by colorful blossoms and the tranquility of nature, or share a quiet picnic in one of the area’s serene parks. With the vibrant energy of spring all around, this is a seasonally ideal time to start your forever with a heartfelt proposal.

The Summer Solstice

The longest day of the year—June 21, 2025— marks the summer solstice, offering endless opportunities for an unforgettable proposal. As summer begins, Virginia Beach will be alive with activity, from sun-soaked beach days to live music and dining along the oceanfront. Picture popping the question as the sun dips below the horizon, casting a golden glow across the water, or beneath the starlit sky on a warm summer evening as you both enjoy an intimate evening together. From the warm weather to the added daylight, the summer solstice is a magical day to embrace love and light in every way.

New Year’s Eve

The winter months are perfect for celebrating love and togetherness, and New Year’s Eve is the ultimate time to embrace fresh beginnings and celebrate love. On December 31, 2025, Virginia Beach’s cool winter air and festive energy are certain to provide a dazzling atmosphere for a more than memorable proposal. Whether you plan an intimate, quiet evening for two or a grand, public declaration at the stroke of midnight, the night is filled with anticipation and magic. As fireworks light up the sky and the new year begins, drop down on one knee and watch your partner’s face light up.
