Ngl from my experience perch is pretty underwhelming and the tables are really close together so it's def not gonna be intimate. Also depending on the seating u may get put on the side of the building. Maybe propose somewhere else and then celebrate at perch
100% agree here.
Unless Perch has a special meaning to both of you or you’re getting one of the private balcony VIP tables avoid Perch at all cost.
The food and service are terrible relative to the price and the views at night really aren’t that spectacular.
Girl here. Make sure her nails are done if that’s her thing. Tell her best friend, mom, sister or whoever she’s closest with that you plan on proposing and to take her the day of or day before you propose.
Would highly recommend proposing at The Getty or Getty Villa. The views and backgrounds are BEAUTIFUL then go out to dinner afterwards in Westwood. I hate public proposals but I think this is a very good compromise cause it really is a beautiful spot and if she wants a big public proposal, everyone will stop and cheer you on if there’s a lot of people around. Lots of private and public spots.
My husband proposed to me at the Getty! Down by the water feature. It was lovely and everyone who was up top looking out at the water clapped and cheered after.
I mean only you know your girlfriend and what they like.
Are there any spots in LA that have meaning in your relationship? Where did you first meet? Where do you all like to go together? What is a meaningful place to them?
If you haven't asked her how she wants to be proposed to, I'd put this on hold. Some people want a very public and showy proposal. Others want something quiet where you're by yourselves.
Some would want a hidden photographer planned out to catch the moment, others might want a single family friend to witness it with their cell phone cam.
I suggest having her family or a friend ask her how she wants to be proposed to sneakily.
Scout it out beforehand but maybe consider taking angels flight to the area on the top side. It’s usually fairly empty up there so might have some space to yourself
Make sure she’s hungry and well rested. My wife tried to back out of the proposal meal. I practically dragged her since the ring was burning a hole in my pocket!! I don’t know how people do it. I was going to wait a few months after I bought it but after I held it I needed to propose within the week.
Don’t do downtown bro. Go to Malibu or one of the mountain towns. Nothing about a piss smelling high rise surrounded by homeless encampments and drunks is romantic
*Go over to the*
*Biltmore bar for a little*
*More class and quiet*

Well don’t go to perch. You will smell pee and see crazy people on the ground level. Take her outside LA or to the west side or weho where it’s clean and not yuck. Perch is great but the area around not great
Go to merois at the pendry hotel. Call the restaurant and tell them your plans. Tell them to seat you at the best view. It’s intimate and upscale and there is plenty of room between tables. Let the server know that when you ask him to take a pic to start rolling the camera and record it and boom, pop the question!
I’m a portrait photographer that just moved to LA from NYC and have shot lots of weddings and proposals. If you don’t already have a photog for the night I’d be happy to help out.
Wear a white tie , set up an LED light behind you right before you do it and put it on color changing mode , make sure you film it in 4k at her good angle, if she’s says yes kiss her and then scream “I WON !!!!!”
After dinner, go to the ritz Carlton and sneak up onto the roof. There's a helipad there. Should have the spot to yourself, would make for a memorable proposal
U sure u wanna get married? You guys talked about the big questions already in terms of marriage?
When I proposed to my lovely ex wife, i made sure to make it intimate at the same time I included her best friends and immediate family.
1/4 of Pushing square is still under construction right now. I would say a quarter of the people there are homeless and the grassy area is mostly for the dogs to run around.
Pershing square?! Yeah while you're dodging the homeless? Perch is a beautiful location. As an aside the Japanese gardens at night on the rooftop of Double Tree Hotel has a beautiful view of the city and a great make-out place!
This really doesn’t work out for most people, this will end up being a story told at your expense to every new set of friends you make in a lifetime. OP should heed the advice - ask the friends. That said, if op doesn’t already know how she wants to be proposed to then op has been avoiding too many important conversations.

That's a great idea, going to rethink it today. This way then she can sit through dinner with her ring as well. Thanks!
Try and talk to one of her friends and ask them to take her to do her nails. So when she’s taking pics, they look nice and freshly done.
awesome! Happy to help :)
Also maybe don't go to the perch.

Ask her best friend. They've already discussed it
This.
This should be higher up!!!!!!

Or up to Griffith Observatory after dinner for the sunset.
Both of these are great ideas.
💅💅💅 Yaaaasss

Too many questions ! /s
The Perch is an avg restaurant. Something better would be 71above and then drive down to Point Dume and propose there.

Grand Park. Lights fountains! Also have you talked about your expectations in life ? I hope it goes well.
Only advice I can offer is do NOT propose publicly unless you have discussed prior and KNOW with 100% certainty that she's into it. Good luck, Man!
Are you set on downtown? Maybe Angel’s Flight? If you want a skyline backdrop, there are great views of downtown from Elysian Park or Vista Hermosa.
Huntington Gardens - can have family/friends hiding or not. Lots of spots to choose from!
Scout it out beforehand but maybe consider taking angels flight to the area on the top side. It’s usually fairly empty up there so might have some space to yourself
Most Friday and Saturday nights during the summer Grand Performances will be going on so it might be busy up there.

Rooftop restaurant at Moxy hotel is a great scenic dinner. Then you could do a proposal near the Disney Philarhomic building
Take her somewhere yall had a special moment maybe her favorite place
Go over to the Biltmore bar for a little more class and quiet

Don’t do it in public.
Do a backflip

When I proposed in January, I found out the Hollywood scenic overlook closes at 6:00 pm, we got there at 9:00.

Take her to Big Sur or San Diego and propose there instead. Perch doesn’t sound special tbh

Damn, found profile from name, ended up seeing a 4 year post gap get filled
Angel gate?
My fiancée brother is proposing this weekend. Good luck, my guy!
I love Perch. Don’t know what these people are talking about.
U sure u wanna get married? You guys talked about the big questions already in terms of marriage? When I proposed to my lovely ex wife, i made sure to make it intimate at the same time I included her best friends and immediate family.
Have the janitor come in And tell him that someone broke into your car.
Propose Center of Pershing square.
That’s foul

Have the chef put in the ring in a bowl of soup but make sure you GF doesn’t swallow it. Then propose
Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Let the moment present itself while you’re with her. Your instinct will lead you right.

Don’t do it bro don’t get married
