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.

Located in New York, NY one of the most famous cities in the world, Central Park is an iconic destination. Featured in many romantic movies and with a host of beautiful spots to choose from this famous landmark provides the perfect backdrop for a marriage ceremony. The top locations can be booked online and planners are available to assist with every aspect of the big day.

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.

Another popular location for wedding parties is The Ladies Pavilion. It is over on the west side of the city between 75th and 76th Streets. This extremely picturesque Victorian styled pavilion is adjacent to The Lake. It brings to mind the Victorian era when young women carrying parasols and their beaus walked among the trees and bushes planning their own special day.

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.

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.

As with any marriage service you will need to obtain a license from the city clerk. Information about how to do this can also be found online. You will need to get your license at least 24 hours before you are due to be married. There are companies and websites that can give all the information about this beautiful location and help plan every aspect of your special day from getting there to the reception afterwards.
