New York City has so many luxury hotels, that its very easy to get overwhelmed. Here are some tips for a luxury proposal in a penthouse.
Penthouse rooms are sold out fast, so you really need to think and ask in advance.
Most of the hotels dont list prices for the penthouse rooms on a website and you will need to call and ask about it.
The penthouse price will vary from what you are planning to do. So if you want to have an intimate proposal with just two of you it will be normal price, if you will tell that you have photographer, decorations and all that. the hotel will think of it as an event and the price will go at least a $1k up
Dont forget of in and off-season prices. Its more expensive in December then January. Also weekdays vs weekends.
Most likely if you inquire by yourself then through the third-party the price will be slightly different.
Sometimes there is a last-minute availability, in this case the price drop as well.
From our experience, penthouse proposals are fun and very surprising. It’s also a great opportunity to invite friends and family for celebration. It is pricy, but if that’s what you dream of, go for it.

Privacy is a new luxury. Away from the crowds and strangers, a private venue designed just for you two is a new way to celebrate love in an intimate setting. New York is one of the busiest city in the world, with millions of tourists coming every year, it is hard to find a place where you can be alone and enjoy the best this city can offer. So, on popular demand, we found a truly remarkable location: a private penthouse with the Empire State Building view.
Customization:
The beauty of a private venue is that you can decorate it the way you want. An empty canvas that you can design all by yourself. Most people when they talk about customization, think about colors and flowers. But what if you could design an experience?
Start with the overall aesthetic, decide if you want a clean look or something fun and colorful. Add decor. An interesting shaped arch or real sand candles. Add music – live musicians playing a concert just for you, sounds like a dream. Add visuals. It could be her favorite movie scene, a video of you two or your recorded speech.
Besides the fact that no one else will be there besides you two, the private penthouse is also a good option for a bad weather day. Rain, snow or heat, you don’t need to worry as you have both an indoor space and an outdoor terrace. Propose inside and step out to the balcony for a glass of champagne and stunning views of the Empire State Building.
The penthouse is conveniently located on the 5 th avenue, a block away from the iconic Empire State Building, so you will have a direct, unobstructed view of the Manhattan Skyline.
A multi-sensory proposal is one that engages more than just sight. You’re creating a moment she can see, hear, smell, feel—and even taste. The result feels immersive, personal, and much harder to forget than a standard setup.
Start with the stunning visual setup, add soft music, chilled champagne and fresh roses to create a strong emotional imprint. This is built around your relationship, not a template.
Ok, we all heard that Valentine’s Day proposals might be tricky. On the one hand it could be very romantic and sweet, on the other hand it might be too obvious and little cliche. Yes, all girls are expecting a ring on the Valentine’s day, so if you still want to do it at least make it really special and extraordinary. The most important thing is to take her off guard, to propose when she least expect it or doesn’t expect at all. So, how can we do that? Here are our top 5 marriage proposal ideas for Valentine’s Day in NYC.
1 – She expects a date, so make a perfect date
Get a table at that amazing restaurant that she was talking about for months. Take her to the movie or a music show after and before taking her home, propose. The point here is that she will enjoy the date and even if she expects a ring, she will forget about it by the end of the day. And you will definitely take her off guard by proposing by her door.
It goes without saying that all reservations should be made in advance as its a very busy day and you don’t want to be scrambling last minute. Same goes with the proposal planner and venues, if you know you want to make that grand proposal on Valentine’s Day in NYC, you need to make all the arrangements months in advance.

We all know that Valentine’s Day is one of the best days for the local businesses to make profit. Don’t get to that trap. You know that that horse carriage ride doesn’t cost $700 per ride, and that bar doesn’t charge $35 for the frozen heart mix drink. There are plenty of places to go and lots of things to do outside those common clichés.
We would recommend going with the private venue as there will be lots of people everywhere and most of the places will be overpriced. Pick a private rooftop or an indoor penthouse and decorate it the way you want it. You can invite all her close friends and family and share the moment with them. Make it personal and memorable. Dont forget to hire a secret photographer and videographer to capture that big surprise.
