Propose with the music 1

Incorporating music into a marriage proposal is a perfect way to make your engagement more personal and romantic. It can be your favorite song or a popular romantic melody, whatever the budget is you can make it work. So here are our most memorable proposals with the music.

1.Piano performance

That was really amazing experience. Our client composed a piano song and he really wanted to perform it for his girlfriend. He wanted to do it outside, but we face a permit problems, so the best solution was to bring a piano to the glass carousel. It was private, has the most spectacular view to the Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge view and has a glass cover from the rain. The cover story was, that our couple were going to the restaurant but stop by the carousel to make some pictures, the guy saw a piano and asked if he can play. The carousel hostess said that it was left from the event and if he wants he can play while they closing up. So imagine his girlfriend surprise, when he start to play a song for her and she realises that everything was made for her only. Beautiful and very touchy.

2. Mariachi Band

Oh, that is absolutely amazing and surprising. The mariachi band is usually very loud, colorful and joyful. If you want to caught your partner off guard and add some music to your proposal, that is the best choice. Here our couple were having a party boat trip around Manhattan, when they arrived they notice some lights at the end of the pier and decided to come and check. It was a candlelight heart, so as soon as Pablo get on one knee, the mariachi band appeared and sing a love song. That was so beautiful. Those guys are always dressed in a traditional outfit and bring the live instruments. Looks and sounds amazing.

3. Street musician

This is one of our most popular request for the marriage proposal in New York. Usually we agree in advance on the time and place with the client, and when he arrives to the spot our musician is already there playing some random songs, he started to interact with the couple and suggest to play something for them. And that’s the song that she likes, of course. So the guy is proposing and the girl is in shock as she never suspect its coming.  In this type of proposal, there is always that surprise factor, that makes the proposal so interesting and personal. 

This is perfect for proposals in Central Park and Brooklyn Bridge.

4. Musical Band

In this case the proposal can be based on the band. We can make you fake invitations for the popular band performance, so that she will be thinking you going to this private album release party. But when you arrive, the band is playing your song and it turned out to be a marriage proposal. The musical band is more professional and entertaining performance, as there are more professional equipment there. That is ideal for private rooftop proposals. The band automatically bring the mood to the event and you just want to dance and celebrate life. 

5. Classical Music

Classical music played on violin or saxophone is one of the key elements for the romantic proposal. It is ideal for a private rooftop proposal in New York. When the space is decorated with candles and flowers, the violin added the finale touch to create the relax and romantic mood. It is also fun, when first the classic music is played and after the proposal its a modern song played on the violin.

From my experience it’s always good to add music to your proposal. It makes the moment more intimate and that song will always associated in your mind with this magical day. 

Also, don’t forget to hire a professional secret photographer. Our head photographer Vlad Leto, is  a well-known engagement photographer in New York. He mastered the skills of a discreet paparazzi style photography, so that your partner will have no clue someone is making pictures of you. 

If you planning your engagement and have no idea where to start, please contact us and our experience team will help you to create the best day in your life.

Will it be snowing on my proposal in December?

Allow professionals to take care
of your proposal in New York

One of the most asked questions we got for the December bookings is if its going to snow on that day? And as much as we are all excited about a ‘white Christmas’, it hasn’t  snowed in December in New York City since 2003!

So when is it going to snow in New York and how to make your December proposal more festive?

 

December in New York is a very tricky month, on the one hand its still warm and sunny, on the other hand its windy and rainy. When planning your Holiday proposal in New York, always have a plan ‘B’ for the rainy day.  And think of dressing in layers as the weather will be changing every day.

 

What should you know when planning your Holiday proposal in New York?

 

First of all start planning your proposal earlier as its the busiest month of the year. Hotels, restaurant reservations, attraction tickets are flying fast. This is also the engagement month, so venues and vendors are booked as well.  There are only 3 Saturdays till Christmas Day and most of the clients are looking to propose before that. If you planning proposing in Central Park or Brooklyn Bridge Park, you also need to apply for the permits in order to secure the desired location.

Then, think about your ‘cover story’. It is an engagement month so most of the partners are expecting to get engaged during this time. If you trying to keep it a secret and truly surprise your partner, think of the natural way to bring them over to the proposal location.

Be realistic. We all saw these beautiful instagram pictures of the empty plaza next to the Rockefeller  Center Christmas Tree and thought that that would be a perfect private spot for a proposal. But in reality it is the most crowded place in the city. Choose the alternative tree or come to the plaza in the morning to avoid the crowds.

Be aware of the traffic. December is the month when people from all over the country  and the world are coming over to see the Christmas Tree and experience the Christmas magic in New York , the traffic is unbelievable  and it might takes hours to go through boroughs.

Dress in layers. It might snow, rain and shine in the same day. December is also known for strong winds, so dress up warm.

 

 

So when snow falls in New York?

January, February and March are typical snowy months in New York. There might be a mix of rain and snow in December but to get that all-white picture of iconic Central Park you would need to propose in later months.

If you want to incorporate winter feeling into your proposal, here are some tips. First, make it festive. If you propose in December, the city is decorated with Christmas ornaments and lights, its very celebratory, so do the same for your proposal. Either propose by the Christmas Tree with a secret photographer capturing a surprise ( the Lotte Palace tree or Washington Square park trees are absolutely stunning) or decorate a private space with the Christmas theme.

Another great option to get that winter feeling is to reserve a table in the restaurant with the fireplace. That is a perfect way to celebrate your  newly engagement and share great news with all your friends and family. If you propose in Central Park, the Tavern on the Green and Loeb Boathouse would be ideal spots.

Another way to add Christmas spirit to your proposal would be by renting a vintage car, which can pick you from or to the proposal. There is nothing like driving around a city enjoying all the Christmas decor.

 

 

What to make it festive but not into Christmas?

December is a perfect month for elegant  and elaborate proposals. If you want to propose, but not looking to do it under the Christmas Tree here are some tips:

1. Rent a private venue, preferably a rooftop with the city view.

With all the noise and crowds in the city you really need to find a private venue where  it will be just the two of you. A Private rooftop with indoor space would be perfect for an elegant proposal.

2. Choose an elegant decor

Instead of Christmas lights and bright decor, choose more neutral colors. Add candles and flowers, a live musician and photographer. Let it be a moment for just you two.

3. Invite family

To celebrate a newly engagement would be a perfect opportunity to get everyone together. Invite close friends and family and create memories together.
