5 romantic New Jersey proposal spots perfect for fall

Where To Pop the Question In New Jersey

Love is in the air here in New Jersey! And with fall right around the corner, pumpkin fields, corn mazes, and apple orchards make a beautiful and seasonal backdrop for your big proposal.

On one of our shows this week, Lou and I talked about engagements and shared stories about how couples in New Jersey got engaged. From elaborate proposals to more intimate settings, everyone agreed it's a moment you'll treasure forever, and it has to be just right.

I loved hearing about how Steve in Clinton proposed on the beach in Cape May, and they went back later, got some sand from the spot, and I had a ring custom-made with the sand in it.

New Jersey is filled with romantic spots! From beach sunsets and picturesque farms to charming towns, love is truly all around. So if you're looking to get down on one knee this fall, here are some romantic places to propose in New Jersey.
