5 Tips in Creating the Perfect Proposal

19.12.2016

Anna Krauze, the founder of Best Venues New York and Certified Wedding Planner, offers 5 marriage proposal tips for prospective grooms on creating the perfect proposal. Most of our beautiful summer weddings start with the holiday season proposal. So stay calm and we will help you to get through it, and make it one of the most amazing memories of her life.

1. Location, Location, Location - Make It Romantic

If you are planning to propose outdoors, make sure to triple check the weather conditions and organize a Plan B to ensure everything runs smoothly. Make it unique and pick the place you had your first kiss, first date, or arrange a date in the place that she always dreamed to have her wedding. If you do not have those options then there are so many unique and romantic places for perfect proposal, especially in New York City during this wonderful and magical time of the year. You can take a horse carriage in Central Park with breathtaking views of the city or surprise your loved one with a romantic ice skating date at Rockefeller Center.

2. Make it unique and sentimental

Proposing during a meal? Please don’t have a waiter place the ring in the food and bring it to the table (unless you know the Heimlich maneuver!). Try to make it private like in a secret garden room, or create a romantic décor with fairy lights, her favorite flowers, and ask the Chef to create all her favorite dishes in advance (don’t forgetthat saying "the way to the heart is through the stomach" is not just for boys!). Surprise her with all your favorite people to share your happiness just after you pop the question and she says “YES!” for a BIG group hug and celebration.

3. Hire a professional photographer - Capture the moment

A professional photographer can hang around in the place you have selected or hide in the bushes (ok, maybe a little creepy but you get the idea!). Capturing your loved one's face when she realizes what is happening is the moment that you will both cherish for years to come.

4. The ring - Quality v Quantity

Use this magical season to make it more unforgettable, also the quality of the diamond will sparkle and light up the room, so don’t cut quality for size.

5. Be yourself and speak from the heart

Nothing is more important than words, and they make your proposal one of the kind. Whatever you do, don’t from a written speech. Tell her a story from when you met, how that impacted your life, and why you would like to share your future with her. Don’t forget to breath and speak slowly… We hope to help you to plan the perfect proposal in the most amazing way. We can help you book the whole ice rink at Rockefeller Center or rent out a screen in Times Square to display your proposal message. Our wedding experts can help to customize your proposal by creating the most unique package at an affordable price.
