“My partner proposed to me just last Wednesday 09/02/22 at Elveden Forest. The place where we had our first weekend away with each other as a couple, exactly 6 years prior. He proposed and we had a lovely meal at Bella Italia where the staff were amazing, with a bottle of Prosecco on the house. Once we returned back to our lodge, our family had arranged a little engagement party for us! So special ❤️”

Staff stories
“We had a recent proposal at Aqua Sana (Sherwood Forest) where a guest had made us aware of where he wanted to propose but wanted our help to set the scene and make it happen. We blocked off the Scandinavian area in the spa and added rose petals, flowers, prosecco, and face masks. The gentleman proposed and we were waiting outside with prosecco to congratulate them, as we had guessed that she had said yes from all the screaming. They then proceeded to go into the spa for a private steam room.”

Its not just our guest that have got engaged at Center Parcs our staff members have too!
“Center Parcs couldn't have been more perfect when my fiancé popped the question! We went for a walk in The Wishlight Village. The Winter Forest Lights were amazing. The trail is so magical, and I could not have asked for a better spot with the lights and the background music which made it even more special and romantic! In my opinion it was the perfect most magical place.”
- Anonymous, Longford Forest
“My husband and I got engaged at Elveden Forest on 15th June 2015, on my 30th birthday. Not that I knew that morning, but he had a massive thing planned that he was going to propose near the lake at night next to the fountain, after having dinner. However, the weather changed plans so instead he took me for a walk around one of the lakes during the day. He found a clear area by the lake, away from the lodges and got down on one knee, he then opened the case, I saw the ring and he asked me if I would be his wife. Obviously, I said yes.”
- Lucy King, Woburn Forest
Center Parcs is filled with lots of romantic backdrops and perfect hidden spots to pop that all important question however, we do not offer wedding packages.
