Frequently asked questions

Where is the best spot to propose in Chicago?

— As Ameline Studio is located on Gold Coast, we might be slightly biased when we say that North Avenue Beach is to be considered for its breathtaking views of the Chicago skyline. There are, of course, other favorite contenders: the Nature Boardwalk at Lincoln Park, Lake Michigan, the Chicago Riverwalk or the Art Institute.

How to make a proposal romantic?

—  Chicago is a beautiful city with plenty of great locations to propose. To make it romantic, the best idea is to have a special time that echoes who you are as a couple and as individuals as well. Think about your partner's interests and preferences; this will help make it personal and memorable.

How to choose an engagement ring?

— Don't be afraid to ask for help! Jewelers, close friends, or family members can provide information and guidance. Your special person has maybe hinted at a style or the correct size. It is an exciting process for an exciting task: asking your fantastic half to become your fiancée!
