New York transforms into a real winter fairytale during the holidays. Every corner of New York glows with fairy lights and Christmas trees, so the entire city becomes a magical backdrop for a marriage proposal. Here are our favorite proposal locations in NY during the holiday season.
Rockefeller Plaza
This is a place to be during the holidays. You have: Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, ice rink, Top of the Rock, private rooftop garden and art installations on the 5th avenue. This plaza has everything you need for a perfect Christmas proposal. Dont forget to hire a secret proposal photographer to capture the big surprise.
A proposal at Rockefeller Plaza during Christmas is pure New York magic. It is timeless, emotional, and unforgettable. With the right timing and planning, it becomes not just a proposal, but a story you’ll tell for the rest of your lives.
The Lotte Palace
Just a few blocks away, this stunning hotel has the most luxurious Christmas decor both inside and in the courtyard. In the hotel lobby, you can see a grand staircase covered in lights and ornaments, beautiful chandeliers and that old New York charm. Outside, its the most spectacular Christmas tree. Both options are ideal for surprise proposals! Our photo and video team will be there for that ring reveal.
Central Park
If you are really lucky, you might find this beautiful park covered in snow and it’s just an ideal setting for a Hallmark proposal. The best areas to look for around the park, will be: Gapstow Bridge, Bow Bridge, Bethesda Terrace fountain and Wagner cove. To have a full day experience at the park, enjoy the ice skating at the Wollman ice rink and have dinner at the Tavern on the Green. Besides the beautiful scenery, Central Park also has lots of semi-private gazebos, that are perfect for decorated proposal. Our ‘ premium light the night‘ , ‘ Beauty and the Beast ‘ themed decor and ‘ Harry Potter ‘ inspired decor are ideal for the winter park proposals.
Brooklyn Bridge Park
Another great location for a grand proposal. This park is absolutely beautiful and has the most dramatic views of the Brooklyn Bridge Park and Manhattan skyline. It is a very popular tourist destination area, so be prepared to propose with people around. Our ‘ marry me ‘ sign proposal setup is one of the most iconic ways to pop the question in that area. Be aware, that we need 21 day notice to get a permit for this location.
Private rooftop
To avoid the crowds, go with the private venue. It is a perfect choice for clients, who want to personalize and decorate the space the way they want to. Bold ‘ Marry Me’ letters, flower arches, custom floral decorations and close friends and family – thats what makes private rooftops so appealing. We have more than 10 different venues to choose from, located in the Midtown area, Soho and Dumbo. Surprise your partner with the marriage proposal of her dreams.
