Burnt Hill Farm Surprise Proposal: Parker and Livi

Parker pulled off a Burnt Hill Farm surprise proposal in Clarksburg, Maryland, with a little help from Livi’s friend, the venue staff and some pretty good timing. The plan? Get Livi out for an afternoon of wine and food, then show up when she least expected it.

 

 

A Burnt Hill Farm Surprise Proposal With a Solid Plan

Parker teamed up with one of Livi’s friends to pull off the surprise. As far as Livi knew, she was heading to Burnt Hill Farm for a normal afternoon of wine, food, and catching up.

Nothing suspicious. Just a regular girls’ dinner. Meanwhile, Parker was getting ready to make his entrance. Burnt Hill Farm was a great choice. The vineyard setting made for a believable afternoon out, and the scenery gave us an incredible sunset and backdrop for photos.

The Photo That Turned Into a Proposal

“Hi, I work for the venue and take photos for their social media. Would you two like a photo?” That was the line I used to get Livi and her friend to take a photo with me.  While Livi and her friend were taking a photo with me, Parker quietly walked up behind her.

She had absolutely no idea he was there.

One second, Livi was taking a normal photo with her friend. The next, Parker was standing behind her, ready to surprise her. Then he got down on one knee and proposed. 

We then told Livi that I didn’t work for the venue and that Parker had been planning this for months.

Why Burnt Hill Farm Is Great for Surprise Proposals

A Burnt Hill Farm surprise proposal works because the location gives you a perfectly normal reason to be there.

Wine, food, and a nice afternoon out? Your cover story doesn’t raise suspicion.  Plus, the vineyard scenery makes a great backdrop for photos. Parker kept things simple. He had a believable cover story, a friend who could keep a secret, and a plan that worked. That’s all you need.
