We have partnerships across the United States, because have I mentioned- we’re in over 26 cities. One of our favorite partners resides here locally in New York and they’re committed to one thing, perfect picnics. With their help, we’ve been able to capture some amazing picnic proposals, and with the vast amount of beautiful spots in New York, a picnic proposal might be just what you need.

When it comes to proposals, you need an expert. And that’s why when it comes to a picnic proposal in New York, we’re working with picnic experts, Perfect Picnic. We don’t work alone and neither should you. To get the picnic started, we’ve put together some of our favorite locations in New York to indulge in a delicious picnic, but if a picnic proposal isn’t your thing- not to worry. We have a range of packages for you to choose from!

1. Central Park Picnic

The most popular and well-known park in New York (and most visited urban park in the United States), Central Park is an ideal hotspot for a proposal. From Sheep Meadow to Bow Bridge, despite the tourism it attracts, the massive area and landscape offers multiple locations within the park for a more secluded and intimate picnic affair. And wherever you choose to propose in the park is where Perfect Picnic will deliver your picnic.

2. Rooftop Picnic

If nature isn’t your partner’s thing, a rooftop is a picture-perfect picnic idea. Enjoy a glass of champagne, savory treats, and the backdrop of the greatest city in the world. We’ll be sure to capture the moment you get down on one knee and pop out a diamond ring.

3. Washington Square Park Picnic

Enjoy the views of the famous Washington Square Arch & Fountain, while enjoying fresh meats, creamy chocolates, fine cheeses, and bubbly champagne (all offered by Perfect Picnic). Washington Square is perfect for those seeking a smaller park or somewhere closer to downtown. There are also street performers, musicians, and all sorts of other entertaining acts usually happening year-round (well, except the cold winter). Why not arrange for one of the “street musicians” to serenade your big moment? It’ll be like a movie, except better because it’s real.

4. Gondola Picnic

Who says a picnic has to be on land? A proposal has not limits and neither should your picnic. Choose from one of the packages Perfect Picnic has to offer and take it on-board with you for a romantic (and yummy) gondola ride. While your gondolier cruises you through the water, pour some champagne and toast your new fiancée.

5. Hotel Picnic

If the weather isn’t cooperating, (thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows) take your picnic proposal inside. Whether you want to make a getaway with it by booking a suite or doing it in your own home, this will give your proposal more privacy and the freedom to decorate the space romantically. The outdoors isn’t for everyone, but romanticize your lunch by having it styled like a picnic.

He led Angie from one incredible gesture to the next, starting with a gorgeous skyline helicopter ride to see the greatest city in the world from a bird’s eye view, followed by a trip to the top of the Trade Center.

After running back to where they were staying at the Essex Hotel, he told her he had a special lunch planned.  They headed outside, where he told her to pick a horse and buggy for a ride to where he had a Perfect Picnic arranged to have set up for them, and the ultimate surprise in store: his romantic marriage proposal!

How They Met:

Marc and his fiancé met on match.com and after chatting for a while online, they made plans to meet up in person and see if the initial chemistry translated into something more!

Something told Marc that Angie was special, and he wanted to meet with her right away, but he was leaving for a trip to Cuba. So he asked her out to dinner in advance and as soon as he got back the couple met up for the first time on February 5th, a date Marc has memorized!

Conversation was easy over dinner. They had a similar sense of humor and outlook on life, and the back and forth banter they had online was even better than expected. Marc loved that Angie was so interested in hearing about his trip and looking through the photos he took while he was away, and she was intrigued by his passion for life. After their date, they sat in his car by the beach in their home city of Boca Raton, Florida, watching the waves roll in and feeling relaxed and happy in each other’s company. It was the evening of his 50th birthday, and when the clock struck midnight he got the best gift he could have asked for— a kiss from his future wife!

How They Knew

Marc knew that he had met someone truly unique.

He had never been this intrigued by someone he just met, and he wasted no time— asking her out on a second date while they were still on their first.

The couple says they knew almost immediately that they had found The One. Their initial feelings only grew as they spent more time together!

The Proposal

Marc wanted to propose, and an invitation to New Jersey for a Bar Mitzvah presented the perfect opportunity.

He planned for a few extra days for them to stay in New York, and set about coming up with his full day, absolutely incredible proposal plan.

After giving Angie a romantic card in the horse and carriage promising he would make all her dreams come true, the pair stepped out onto Cherry Hill in Central Park. When they walked up to the picnic, she was surprised by the thoughtful gesture and stood in the picture-perfect spot for our photographer to capture her reaction— Marc knew it was the perfect moment, and popped the question with a gorgeous engagement ring from Diamonds East International in Boca Raton, Florida.

Her answer: a resounding, “Yes!” Through laughter and tears of joy.

The pair paused for a champagne toast before Marc introduced our photographer, who joined them for a gorgeous post-proposal portrait session.

And to top off an incredible proposal day, “We had 8th row center seats to Jersey Boys!” Said Marc, adding, “and I got her a great take-home token from the show: her own real live Jersey Boy, me!”

The High Line

The city is ever changing. What was once a White Castle might’ve turned into a building or what was once a building might’ve turned into a park. That’s what happened with The High Line. The High Line is park that is on top of buildings in the Meat Packing District part of Manhattan. During the 1930s, a train ran through there and delivered supplies. The project to develop this area began in 2002 and since then, this park has been a hit. It’s one of the best ideas the city came up with. What isn’t there to love about The High Line?
