“Engagement on Ice”

New York, NY:  The Rink at Rock Center has partnered with Brides.com for the second year in a row to give newlywed hopefuls a picturesque setting to pop the big question.  “Engagement on Ice” allows prospective grooms to plan their wedding proposals on the center ice at Rockefeller Center in front of the breathtaking sculpture of Prometheus, giving them The Rink to themselves for the special moment.

This package, which runs until The Rink’s season closes in April, ensures that everything is smoothly in place for the big moment.  It offers front-of-the-line access so the lucky couple can head straight onto the ice for a romantic spin around The Rink.  As the session ends, the other skaters disappear, leaving the couple alone on the ice.  “Their song” begins to play, setting the scene for the perfect proposal.  Once she says “yes,” The Rink staff can deliver a bouquet to the newly affianced couple before the couple takes one last “victory” lap around the ice.  A celebratory champagne toast completes the experience, where each couple is presented with an exclusive Brides.com gift bag valued at over $500.

About The Rink at Rockefeller Center: Located off of Fifth Avenue, between 49th and 50th 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 7, 2006 until early April.  For more information on The Rink and “Engagements on Ice”, visit www.therinkatrockcenter.com or call 212-332-7655.
