2.) Jersey City Waterfront
The Jersey City Waterfront is another location with fantastic views of the NYC skyline such as Liberty State Park. Start with a lunch or dinner at restaurants like Battello’s, Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, Porto Leggero, & The Highlawn and let NJ Wedding Pros do the rest!
Extra Tip: It is important to not pick a holiday week, especially in areas like Hoboken & Jersey City. Many of the restaurants already have reservations.
3.) Along the Jersey Shore
There are so many fantastic spots to pick from when planning a proposal on the beach. From the sun-kissed shores of Sandy Hook to the charming coastal town of Cape May. The beaches along the Jersey Shore are one of NJ’s most prominent destinations, why not make even more special memories there!
Extra Tip: Since many of the sought out beaches are in a popular resort-like area, some places do allow private space for an added fee. Along with that, many places offer semi private options that we are happy to help you plan! It is also important to avoid picking any holiday weeks over the summer to avoid large crowds.
4.) A Winery
There is nothing more beautiful than a blossoming, bright vineyard. It can be very convenient starting your day off at the winery and finishing with a lovely proposal at the vineyard or inviting some of your loved ones for a surprise engagement party after the proposal. New Jersey boasts a myriad of winery locations, each offering its own unique charm. Cape May Winery & Vineyard, Renault Winery, and Laurita Winery are just a few to name. However, when planning a proposal at a winery it is important to consider that there may be additional fees when renting a space or an area.
