There is also a decorated carriage and a bridge within the premises, which only goes towards creating the perfect romantic setting for a proposal and picture-worthy backdrops.

You can request to book the pavilion and the lawn for your very special day. However, in light of the bare setting of the pavilion and the lawn, please be advised that this proposal location would require greater efforts in preparatory and decoration works. Still, this gives you more room to explore a theme for your proposal and greater leeway to inject more personal touches into the whole event. If you are planning to execute your proposal at night, you can consider decorating the entire pavilion with fairy lights for a warm, romantic setting and even have live music played during the event. With the extensive amount of work required, we would advise you to rely on the help of friends and family. Also, their presence at the proposal could be something your partner truly appreciates.
