Ceremony Locations in Central Park

Seven spots we love

We've married couples all over Central Park. These are the places we recommend most — each one works beautifully for an intimate ceremony.

A Victorian cast-iron gazebo on the lake — our most-requested ceremony spot.

The Angel of the Waters fountain — the grand heart of Central Park.

The park's most photographed bridge — skyline rising through the trees.

A stone bridge with the classic NYC view — the Plaza behind the lake.

A hidden rustic shelter on the lake — the park's best-kept secret.

A rustic hilltop shelter with the room for the whole family.

A flower garden between 79th and 80th — at its best in spring and summer.

Across most of the park, small ceremonies (under 20 guests, no setup) don't need a permit.
No chairs, tables, tents, amplified sound, alcohol, or decorations — and the park stays open to the public during your ceremony.
We take care of the ceremony itself; if your spot needs a permit, we walk you through it.
Weekday mornings are the quietest — weekends bring events, crowds and fellow couples.
Check the park's event calendar before you set the date; a marathon or festival can fill your favorite spot.
