need a [cool] marriage proposal idea?

‘Tis the season for marriage proposals…and that just makes us all smile over here at the planning…forever events studio.

You can’t blame us, it’s what puts food on the table. And it’s one of our services we offer, “Proposal Planning”. We will help you with everything but the words. Cause, well, that’s your job as the proposer.

So we were excited to get this email from the promoters for Rockefeller Center in New York. They have come up with the coolest proposal idea, Engagement on Ice. Hopefully you would know how to skate, or of course you could always ask while sitting on the ice. Below are some of the highlights and details:

The Engagement on Ice package offers front-of-the-line access ensuring that the lucky couple can head straight onto the ice for a romantic spin around the Rink.  As the session ends, the other skaters will disappear, leaving the couple alone on the ice.  “Their song” will begin to play, setting the scene for the perfect proposal.  Once she (or he) says “yes,” the Rink staff can deliver a bouquet (dropped off ahead of time by the proposer) to the new fiancée before the couple takes one last lap around the Rink.  To complete the experience, the two toast to their good fortune rink-side with flutes of Champagne and can enjoy a celebratory dinner at the Rock Center Café at a table looking out at Rockefeller Center.

The cost of the Engagement on Ice package is $250, from Dec. 1 through Jan. 4, 2008; $200 from Jan. 5 through April, all inclusive.  Reservations are required and availability is limited.  Call 212-332-7655 to schedule an Engagement on Ice, which includes:

Admission front-of-the-line access for two
Two skating passes
Skate rentals for two
Signature song played during or after the proposal (music provided by proposer)
The option to drop off a bouquet of flowers that can be skated out and presented to new fiancée
Private time on the ice for proposal and ‘victory lap’
Champagne toast at rink-side restaurant Rock Center Café
For an additional $200, a three-course dinner for two is available at Rock Center Café.  Window tables can be reserved.

Located off of Fifth Avenue, between 49^th and 50^th streets, The Rink first opened on Christmas Day in 1936 as the premier artificial outdoor skating pond built in New York City, complete with modern amenities: night skating, a heated house for changing skates, piped-in music and rink-side dining.  Today the Rink is an historic landmark, open seven days a week from October until early April.

Let’s face it this idea is not only sweet, but it’s romantic as hell!!!
