 Secret Garden Romance 

Proposal Picnic  

If proposing to your person in a gorgeous secret garden is your jam, our "Secret Garden Romance" Proposal Picnic could be the perfect fit.    

 

Ruddle's Retreat located on Ruddle Road Maleny is the perfect romantic location for a Marriage Proposal.  Your proposal picnic is set up overlooking lush private gardens under a giant Jacaranda Tree.   The property features fruit trees, rainforest and a gorgeous gabled cottage which is also available for rent (booked directly via the property website).   The gardens are the perfect backdrop for professional engagement photo session (we can arrange this for you).

​​

We set up a dreamy 3-hour romantic picnic for two, featuring gourmet grazing for two, French Champagne and San Pellegrino sparkling mineral water on ice.  

​​

We can set up at any time of the day, however our the most popular request is for a magical Sunset Picnic. The venue also offers a wet-weather backup just in case it's forecast to rain.

​​

You can arrive to the venue knowing everything will be perfect for you to “Pop the Question” to your special someone.​
