How much does a Central Park carriage proposal cost?

Our 65-minute private Proposal Tour starts at $224.99 and includes your choice of proposal location (Bethesda Terrace, Wagner Cove, or Bow Bridge). Most couples add a Photo & Video service ($140 for a 15-minute hidden photographer or videographer, $325 for full 1-hour start-to-finish coverage) and our Flowers + Chocolate + Champagne package ($120, normally $130 — save $10). A complete experience typically ranges from $345 to $670. For fully personalized experiences with live musicians, multiple carriages, or extended routes, contact us directly to plan.

How far in advance should I book my proposal?

We recommend booking at least 2-4 weeks in advance to allow time for personalized planning. For peak seasons (December holidays, Valentine's Day, and summer weekends), 4-6 weeks is ideal. Last-minute proposals can sometimes be accommodated — call us to discuss.

Can you help coordinate a surprise proposal?

Absolutely! Surprise proposals are our specialty. We coordinate every detail discreetly, including meeting points, timing, hidden photographers, and even family members waiting at a scenic stop. Your partner will have no idea until the perfect moment.

What if my partner says no or I need to cancel?

We offer full refunds for cancellations made 48 hours or more before your scheduled proposal date. For cancellations within 48 hours, we provide a credit that can be used for any future tour or rescheduled proposal.

What is the best time of day for a Central Park proposal?

Golden hour (1 hour before sunset) offers the most romantic lighting for photos. Winter sunsets around 4:30 PM create a magical atmosphere, while summer evenings around 7:30 PM provide warm, golden light. We also offer beautiful nighttime proposals with fairy lights and lanterns.
