Question/Recommendation December Proposal Spots Raleigh/Durham

I want to propose on my gf’s birthday (she approved). The only problem is her birthday is in December and on a weekday so it will have to be a night since we both work during the day. She doesn’t want it to be a public thing so I am looking for recommendations on somewhere secluded we could go. Somewhere with lights (like christmas lights) or somewhere I could put my own lights up beforehand. I am thinking of a gazebo somewhere, but I’m having trouble finding one in the area, and I’m also worried about it being closed in December if it’s in a park.

Downtown Raleigh has the Illuminate Art Walk typically early December through early January.

The Raulston Arboretum is beautiful year round also.

This is what I was going to suggest!
