The best wedding proposals in New York
The Empire State Building is arguably the most recognised building in the world, and one of the most romantic proposal backdrops in New York City. Whether you propose on the 86th-floor observation deck with the entire Manhattan skyline spread before you, or at a nearby rooftop with the building's iconic illuminated spire as your backdrop, the scene is unmistakably cinematic.
Planning a proposal in the Big Apple can be both thrilling and overwhelming. But our team of experienced proposal planners is here to ensure your special moment becomes a cherished memory for life. If you already have a vision in mind, we will bring it to life with precision.


For a romantic and intimate proposal
Not every Empire State Building proposal has to happen at the top. Some of our most memorable setups have taken place on rooftop bars overlooking the building, during a private dinner where the illuminated spire fills the window, or on the observation deck at dusk as the city transitions from golden hour to the electric magic of New York at night.
Our local planners manage every detail, from timing your visit to avoid crowds, to coordinating the photographer, champagne, and any personal touches that make the moment uniquely yours.
