Selecting A Stunning Central Park Wedding

By Susan Anderson


Getting married is one of the most important days of your life and naturally it should be special and memorable. Traditional church weddings do not appeal to everyone and court house ceremonies can seem clinical and rushed. A popular alternative for a fairy tale location is to have a central park wedding.

In the middle of one of the world's most famous cities, New York, NY, this stunning parkland is truly iconic having featured in movies and TV series. A landmark in its own right it provides a beautiful setting for the perfect romantic marriage ceremony. There are numerous places within the park to choose from and they can all be booked online. There is also help available to plan your whole day and ensure everything runs smoothly.

The most popular place for weddings is the Conservatory Garden area. With three different areas to choose from, each with a feature pool or fountain, there is a style to suit everyone. The English garden has a labyrinth and the Italian style pergola provides an ideal background for photos. This area is situated just off 5th Ave. At 105th St.

The Ladies Pavilion is also extremely popular with wedding parties. It can be found on the west side between 75th Street and 76th Street. This picturesque Victorian style pavilion made from iron is near to The Lake. It takes you back to olden days where young ladies carried parasols and their young gentlemen walked with them arm in arm and soaked up the atmosphere of the vibrant city.

Every element of nature comes together another popular site. The Pond combines peace and beauty in prefect harmony. With a backdrop of ducks on the pond and the Gapstow Bridge there a few places more picturesque. Trees and flowers around the shore add to the already glorious scenery. This area can be found near to the main entrance off 5th Avenue and 56th Street.

If you decide that you would like to marry in this wonderful natural setting, the first step is to book a date. You can go online and reserve the date and location of your choice. Bear in mind that you are not allowed to erect tents or canopies so think about the weather. Plan a contingency location in case of heavy rain or high winds.

Next you will need to think about how many guests are going to attend. Some of the locations have restrictions on numbers due to the size of the area and the maximum number in the largest area is 300. If you have more than 20 guests then you will need a permit from the Department of Parks and Recreation. This can be applied for online and will take up to 30 days to arrive. Your planner can help with this.

You will also need to get a marriage license which can be obtained from the city clerk. There is information about this online and it is necessary wherever you choose to get married. You must have your license at least a day before you can get married. There are several companies on the web offering planning services who can organize every part of your very special day.
