 1. Central Park

One of the most popular proposal locations in New York, Central Park is majestic during the spring and summer months. From Bow Bridge to the Bethesda Fountain, we’ll help you find the picture-perfect location. Spice up the romance and plan for a classic horse-drawn carriage ride beforehand and an intimate dinner afterwards. Of course, you can always leave the planning to us.

2. Perfect Picnic Proposal

One of our favorite partnerships in New York is with Perfect Picnic. And with them, we have shot countless of picture-perfect picnic proposals. Their food is not only mouthwatering but their presentation is just as good. New York might be known as the concrete jungle, but there’s a bountiful supply of wonderful outdoor locations. From Washington Square Park, to Bryant Park, to the High Line, to one of the many piers along the water, choose your favorite place and we’ll take care of the rest.

3. Rooftop Proposal

You haven’t truly seen New York till you’ve seen it from one of the many breath-taking rooftops. The skyline also makes for a stunning backdrop to any proposal. An easy option would be to book a hotel that already has a beautiful rooftop.

4. Minus5 Ice Bar Proposal

Turn your proposal into a winder in wonderland by proposing at Minus5 Ice Bar. Book a room and add the proposal romance flare with rose petals, candles, and of course, champagne. We never forget the champagne! The only thing better than the reaction on your partner’s face upon entering the room will be the moment they say “Yes!”

5. The High Line Proposal

A local and tourist favorite, the High Line is a public park built on the historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on Manhattan’s West Side. The 1.45 mile walk path boasts beautiful views of the city and during the spring and summer months, it’s blooming with nature. Turn a romantic stroll into a moment your loved one will never forget.
