Serenade under the stars
Immerse yourselves in the enchanting atmosphere of Moscowโs dreamy parks. Listen to the whispering wind, marvel at the stars, enjoy a candlelit picnic, serenaded by the sounds of a live band playing classical music.
- Imagine being in a serene park, surrounded by the beauty of nature under the Milky Way. The two of you will start your evening with a walk in the park. You'll have a picnic basket, filled with local Russian delights and a bottle of wine. As you settle in your chosen spot, and indulge in these savory treats, the sounds of a live classical music quartet will fill the air, performing just for you. Post-picnic, wrapped up in warm blankets, you will lay down on the grass, gaze at the sparkling stars, and share your dreams and wishes with each other.
Preparation steps:
- The couple will need to pack a few essentials for this evening: a picnic basket with food and drinks, a blanket, warm clothes and cushions for comfort. Optionally, they could bring pillows for added relaxation during the stargazing sessions. Also, remember to check the weather beforehand and ensure a clear sky for stargazing. You might want to have a backup plan in case of bad weather. Pre-book the musicians in advance to ensure they are available on your chosen date.
- As this is an outdoor activity, do ensure you have the required permissions if needed for your chosen park. Contact the park's management and get clarity on their rules regarding night-time visits, noise levels for the live music and, if possible, find the perfect spot under the stars for your cozy picnic. Finally, make sure to arrive early to setup everything in place before the dusk.
Some tips:
- Choosing the park for your date will depend on your preferences. Gorky Park, Kolomenskoye Park, and Sokolniki Park are all beautiful choices, having different landscapes and scenic spots to choose from. Don't forget to wear warm and comfortable clothes, as the weather in September can be chilly in the evening in Moscow. Bring a portable charger if you plan on using your mobile for celestial navigation or music.
- When planning your picnic food, try to carry items that are easy to eat and not very messy; finger foods like sandwiches, fruits, or pastries are a good choice. You could include some favorite Russian delicacies such as Blini (Russian pancakes) with red caviar or Pirozhki (little pies).
- Last but not least, remember that this date is all about being in the moment and enjoying each other's company. Keep the conversation light and loving, share anecdotes, dreams, and create a memorable evening together.
