New York Rooftop Proposals

We started Proposal-Ideas in 2010 and we were the very first proposal planning company to start offering proposal packages. So I will have to toot our own horn and say we kind of are the authority on how to plan the perfect New York rooftop proposal.  We have put together some tips on how to pull off the perfect rooftop proposal in New York City.

Choose The Rooftop

There are a lot of rooftops to choose from in Manhattan but what kind of rooftop are you looking for?  Are you looking for views of iconic buildings?  Maybe you just want a newer, well maintained building and the iconic buildings aren’t as important.  Perhaps you are on a budget and all you really care about is the privacy that you will get on the rooftop.  Whatever your needs are, just think it through when choosing the space.

Consider A Package

If you want to go directly to a rooftop to book your proposal you certainly can. But then you have to get involved with reviewing contracts, venue scouting, obtaining insurance in some cases, planning all the details, etc.  Why not choose a pre-packaged rooftop proposal idea like the one we offer?  We handle all the complicated details for you and you just show up!

Think About Weather

One of the risks associated with booking a rooftop for your proposal is that the weather could not cooperate.  Think about what kind of risk you are comfortable taking.  Some people are totally fine with the risk and if it rains, they just bring an umbrella.  Some people feel devastated if it rains on their proposal day and they have a rooftop reserved.  What type of risk are you comfortable with?

Pick A Time

Many clients ask us what is the “best” time to propose on a rooftop?  The reality is, there is no best time there is only the time that suits your preferences.  For example, a day time proposal can be really beautiful and you can see more of the city.  A night time proposal is also awesome because you can see the city lights.  The Golden Hour (an hour before sunset) is a favorite because it looks great in photos.

If you want to get started planning your stress-free rooftop proposal, contact Proposal-Ideas today.  Also, don’t spend a lot of time planning a surprise rooftop proposal and then having her see the big engagement ring box in your pants on the elevator ride up.  Choose a flat engagement ring box from www.ringstash.com to keep your proposal a surprise.
