MARYLAND, USA — National Harbor is highlighting six great proposal locations ahead of Valentine's Day.
Given that the waterfront spot in Maryland is popular with couples, officials say January and February typically see a spike in engagements around the property.
"We often see couples wanting to return to the location of a memorable date or they consider National Harbor’s beautiful backdrop of the Potomac River as an ideal setting for their engagement,” said Jackie Saunders, AVP of Marketing.
One location, the Capital Wheel, hosts several engagements throughout the year. It provides multiple packages that include everything from a “Magical Memories” $40 package for two that includes photos or rent the Capital Wheel lights for your own show.
Officials say the Flight Deck (below the Wheel) is also available for private parties of up to 145 guests.
