A couple celebrating Valentine's Day after a move in New Jersey

The sweetest date on the calendar for couples is nearly here, and a relocation is no reason to skip it. If your February happens to fall right in the middle of a New Jersey move, you can still set aside an evening for the person you love, and maybe raise a glass to your new address while you are at it. The Garden State offers plenty of ways to mark the occasion, so the only real question is what suits the two of you best. To help you decide, we have pulled together a handful of ideas worth putting on your shortlist.

A few ideas worth booking early

Every couple celebrates a little differently. Some are happiest at a quiet candlelit table, while others want a more memorable outing to remember. Staying in works beautifully too, though that option tends to vanish when half of your belongings are still taped shut inside boxes. If a cozy night at home is off the table this year, any of these local outings can fill the gap:

  • Dinner for two at Little Ridge Vineyards
  • A hands-on class at the Morris County School of Glass
  • An afternoon at Alchemy Mind and Body
  • A trip up with Flight Balloon Adventures
  • An evening aboard Spirit Cruises

Dinner out is never the wrong call

When inspiration runs dry, reserving a table is the reliable fallback. Loads of restaurants roll out a special menu for the holiday, and those seats disappear quickly, so phone ahead rather than gambling on a walk-in spot. If you want to spoil your partner with a proper meal, lock in that reservation early. Not sure where to begin? Little Ridge Vineyards, Ninety Acres, and LT Bar & Grill are all dependable picks. Eating out also beats wrestling with a home-cooked feast in a kitchen you have barely started to unpack, which tends to be the reality right after a long haul. Our long distance moving crews carry the heavy part so you can spend the night celebrating instead of digging through cartons for a corkscrew.

Try something a little different

A reservation is the classic route, but this year you might branch out. The Morris County School of Glass invites couples to shape their own glass hearts, so you leave having learned a fresh skill and holding a keepsake the two of you made side by side. A spa afternoon is another lovely choice, and few things ease the aches of a moving week like a good massage. Alchemy Mind and Body is a fine place to unwind once that final box is finally indoors.

Take the celebration into the sky

Chasing something genuinely out of the ordinary? A hot air balloon ride is tough to beat. Drifting above the countryside beside your favorite person, soaking in a sweeping view you rarely catch from the ground, sets a mood that a table for two simply cannot match. Flight Balloon Adventures can get you airborne, and you can always cap the outing with dinner once your feet are back on solid ground.

Prefer to keep both feet near the water?

Not everyone loves being way up high, and that is perfectly fine. Spirit Cruises offers a gentler way to honor the day, gliding along the water while you take in the scenery together. It doubles as a smart way to get acquainted with your new surroundings while you celebrate. As you can see, New Jersey hands couples no shortage of ways to make the day feel special, and putting down roots in a new place is all the more reason to enjoy one.
