In a world of viral videos and social media overload, hiding an engagement ring in a dessert no longer makes the cut. As engagement season (November toFebruary) gets underway, hotels are getting in on the action by offerings packages and ideas perfect for those “wow” engagement moments.

Here’s a few places to start planning your perfect proposal.

Bateaux New York

A cruise of the Hudson River, the company offers proposal packages such as Tribute to Love and Say! Yes.

 

W Retreat & Spa, Vieques Island

The Westin St. John Resort & Villas

Propose on the crystal-blue waters of the Caribbean, or have the in-house Boating Butler curate island scavenger hunts or engagements in the middle of the ocean.
