A UNIQUE, INTIMATE PLACE TO GET ENGAGED: CHERRY SPRINGS STATE PARK
Published: Dec 17, 2025
When you start thinking about the perfect place to get engaged, the ideas are endless. Some couples are drawn to the big, dramatic moments, the ones captured by a hidden photographer, framed by city skylines or done in front of cheering crowds. And that’s beautiful and fun in its own way.
Then there are the couples who crave something different. Couples that are more private and look for something more intimate. They don’t want an audience. They don’t want elaborate setups or staged photos. They just want an intimate moment where the world feels small, and their connection feels big.
So, the question becomes:
Where do you go for a truly private, one-of-a-kind engagement?
A place that feels magical without being flashy, and personal without being staged?
In my little search, and conversations with other engaged couples, I finally found it.
A place so unique it didn’t even show up in the usual “Top 10 Places to Get Engaged” lists.
Cherry Springs State Park.
Hidden in the Pennsylvania Wilds, Cherry Springs is known for having some of the darkest skies on the entire East Coast. At night, the sky opens into a breathtaking display of stars, meteors, and a glowing Milky Way stretching from horizon to horizon. It’s quiet. It’s secluded. It’s awe-inspiring in the kind of way photos can’t truly capture. And that’s what makes it the perfect place for a private, intimate engagement.
Take a walk to the astronomy field just as the sun goes down. Grab a quiet spot beneath the dark sky and nothing but the whisper of wind and the soft glow of red lanterns around you. When night arrives, the stars reveal themselves, thousands of them, bright enough to make you feel like you’re standing on the edge of the universe. There’s no crowd. No pressure. No interruptions.
Just the two of you, and the beauty of a natural world that feels like it was made for a moment exactly like this.
That’s where you start planning a life together:
Not in front of a camera, not in a curated social-media moment, but in a quiet place.
Cherry Springs State Park isn’t just a location, it’s an experience.
A memory that becomes yours alone.
A beginning written under a sky full of stars.
