Selecting A Stunning Central Park Wedding

By Susan Anderson


Everybody wants their wedding day to be really special and a day they can remember for the rest of their life. While some people choose a traditional marriage in church, others prefer a simple civil service but services are often in courts or civic offices with little romance attached. A great alternative which combines romance and simplicity is 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.

Over on the west side another popular choice is the Ladies Pavilion. This glamorous Victorian style iron pavilion is near by The Lake. It transports you back to days where ladies carried parasols and gentlemen escorted them arm in arm on romantic walks. This area is located between 75th and 76th St.

All the elements of nature come together at The Pond providing the perfect combination of peace and beauty. Ducks swim about on the pond while trees and flowers frame the lake with blooms and foliage. The Gapstow Bridge the background adds the feel of a Monet painting to an already idyllic scene. The Pond is located just inside the main entrance which is off 5th Avenue at 56th Street.

Once you make the decision that you wish to get married in Central Park, there are a few more things to decide. You need to choose your marriage date taking into consideration that you may not put up tents or pavilions. In the event of really bad weather you may need a backup plan just in case it is not possible to use your first choice. With dates in mind you can then go onto the web to book the location you selected.

There are certain restrictions on the number of guests allowed at any of the designated marriage areas. Your planner will help you pick a suitable one for the number of people you want to invite. The maximum is three hundred, but some areas hold a lot fewer guests. You will also need to apply to the Parks Department for a permit which can take up to 1 month to arrive. This can be done online and again your planner can assist you.

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.
