Here are some great New York Proposal Ideas in case you’re thinking of popping the question soon.
Rooftop Proposal
With it’s world-renown skyline, if you can get a view of it you are destined to have an amazing marriage proposal. The best way to go about this is to reserve a rooftop or penthouse that is gorgeously decorated, private, and has a stunning view. New York is the land of great high-rises and skyscrapers. Proposing on a rooftop is the perfect way to experience an elegant night out with amazing views of the city. The Heart Bandits even have an NYC Rooftop Package that you can book directly!
Central Park Picnic
What’s more iconic and scenic than Central Park? It is a place with lots of greenery and places to enjoy a romantic stroll. It has loads of history associated with it along countless cameos in movies and television. You can surprise your partner with a picnic overlooking Bow Bridge, Belvedere Castle, Bethesda Fountain, or the Mall and you’ll have a beautiful spot to reminisce about for years to come. Be sure to have a Ring Stash on you so that you can dress in a slim outfit. The Heart Bandits even offer the perfect Central Park Picnic.
Musical Serenade
If you and your partner have a special song, then there is no better way to propose than by having a musician do a surprise serenade for you two. Start off by having a nice dinner so that your partner is dressed up for the night. After dinner tell her that you want to take a stroll around some scenic romantic location. Some good options are Central Park, the MET, Grand Central Station, or Rockefeller Center. Or even better, you can even take her to a location that a perfect sunset or river view. While you’re there a musician then approaches you two and begins playing your song. Your partner is shocked about what is happening and then you propose at the end. The musician then hands her a bouquet of flowers to congratulate her.
Garden Proposal
In addition to Central Park, New York also has many hidden gems such as gardens. You can try checking out the HighLine for a place with a great view in an awesome location of town. Take your girlfriend here and she’ll be shocked when you come upon a romantic setup or a musical serenade. This hidden spot can be returned to later to celebrate an anniversary and it would most likely be more secluded than a regular crowded park.
Times Square Billboard Proposal
The way to go big is by doing your proposal in actual Times Square. Known around the world as an ultimate tourist destination and also where the ball drops during New Years. How shocked will she be if one of the billboards is actually used to proclaim your message of love? There is no grander way to announce your love for her.
