As a trusted engagement destination for more than 150 years, we know a thing or two about proposals. We’re committed to providing our customers with only the finest, including the best proposal spots in Omaha, Nebraska. Expect nothing less than swoon–worthy gems that’ll have your partner saying yes before you even utter the words. Read along to make your decision from our curated lineup.
The Kiewit Luminarium
Does a visit to the new Kiewit Luminarium in downtown Omaha have you contemplating the concept of marriage with your partner? In a landscape of imagination and discovery, it’s likely on your mind—and theirs. With over 100 exhibits, the Luminarium is alive with proposal-worthy locations. Our personal favorite? The Stella. Suspended above the main entry, it’s a can’t-miss attraction. This immersive icosahedron, composed of twenty triangular acrylic panels, brilliantly captures the dispersion of light. As you gaze upward, the colors reflecting around you create a magical moment that’s both scientifically fascinating and unspeakably romantic.
The Joslyn Art Museum
Surround yourself in a splendor of art, history and, of course, romance at The Joslyn—reimagined and updated for you. The new wing of the museum is an art lover’s paradise destined for declarations of passion. What could be more of a picturesque backdrop to your imminent expression of love than works of art? Let emotion take over as the beauty of it all speaks for itself. After all, your love is a masterpiece in its own right. Admire the past, revel in the present, and envision your future together under a canopy of creativity.
The Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel
Upscale. Grand. Memorable. If this sounds like you and your match, then a proposal at The Cottonwood, the Blackstone district’s premier getaway, is for you. The beautifully designed interiors and exteriors invite occasions such as this. Once you step into this historic building, you can personalize your proposal by choosing from several spaces on the property. Whisk your partner away to the rooftop terrace, your own romantic hideaway, where twinkling lights and the soft sounds of the city envelop you as you get lost in the skyline and your love. If brave gestures are more your style, you can’t go wrong with the Instagrammable garden lounge. It’s a venue so stunning and dynamic that you’ll want it for your wedding too.
V. Mertz
Your special and secluded night awaits at V. Mertz in Omaha’s Old Market district. The intimate atmosphere and moody ambiance alone are enough to capture their yes. Paired with an exquisite dining experience, need we say more? V. Mertz’s menu features new options every week and, this time, it could include your engagement. Delight your senses with surprises at every turn; this will be the best one yet. Just come prepped with an appetite for forever and a ring from Borsheims.

The expertly maintained Lauritzen Gardens, right on the outskirts of welcoming Omaha, offer scenes only nature could draw up. Seasonal blooms, serene reflecting pools, and lush landscapes form the ideal oasis for your dream engagement. Getting down on one knee will feel natural here with the tranquil environment to set you at ease. The only thing that’s missing is the perfect ring.

Central High School
Okay, hear us out on this one. On the grounds of Nebraska’s first capitol building stands Central High. The architecture is impeccable, the stonework flawless—like a castle from your favorite storybook fairytale. All this gushing about a high school? Just wait until you see the dramatic staircases cascading from each end. Plan a photoshoot to capture it all on camera and you’re bound to secure a resounding yes. Bonus if it’s your alma mater.
At Borsheims, we recognize that each love story is unique in the best way and deserves to be honored as such. No matter where you decide to propose, make it unforgettable with a ring from Borsheims. Tag us if you recently said yes to forever at one of these locations with a Borsheims ring for a chance to be featured on social media and receive complimentary champagne flutes for you and your soon-to-be-spouse.
