Couples from around the world find me in the internet and ask me to officiate at their destination wedding in Central Park. For some couples, it is a vow renewal ceremony.
There are many locations for a romantic wedding...The Shakespeare Garden, The Bow Bridge, The Cherry Hill Fountain, Wagner Cove, and The Pool...just to name a few.
You don't need a permit to get married in Central Park unless the number of people at your wedding exceeds 20. A good source of information about Central Park and their requirements is http://www.centralparknyc.org/. A permit is not expensive and it is fairly easy to obtain.
There is very little shelter in the park, so it is wise to have a "Plan B" in case of bad weather. The alternate location could be a restaurant or your hotel lobby. Your hotel may even let you use their penthouse suite for a half hour.
Folks who pass by a ceremony in progress in Central Park often stop and watch...and those present at the end of the ceremony almost always cheer, applaud, and call out good wishes to the bride and groom.
The couple in the picture above came from France to renew their wedding vows on the iconic Bow Bridge. The photograph was taken by Something In Blue. (www.somethinginblue.com)
