How To Plan A Central Park Wedding

By Noemi Wallner


This popular space in New York is such a beautiful place that many people want to tie the knot there. A Central Park wedding needs to be carefully planned ahead of time so you can be sure to follow the rules. Get yourself a New York wedding officiant and enjoy the perfect day, with just a little planning.

With plenty of special locations, the main concern is how many guests will be showing up. It is a good idea to do up your guest list before making a decision since some venues can only accommodate up to fifteen attendees and are completely unsuitable for larger wedding parties. Book as far in advance as possible. This is necessary as the space fills up quickly.

You will need to follow the restrictions carefully. No decorations or chairs are permitted. You cannot use confetti or anything else that will litter the area, including seeds.

The weather is not always nice in New York, so plan accordingly. You will need to have another place to go if it starts to rain. This is one of the issues with booking so far ahead, as there cannot be an accurate forecast. A hotel may be the best option for an alternate area.

Transport may include a horse carriage, pedicab or limo, or any other mode that you prefer. Even if you are using a company to handle the planning for you, the transport is frequently not included. If this is the case, you need to arrange it yourself.

A reception can be held in a hotel, or you might prefer a picnic where everyone can enjoy being outdoors. Keep a photographer on hand to get some shots. This works very well if the weather cooperates and is a perfect ending to the wonder of the day.

Out of all the planning that needs to be done for this type of ceremony, the one thing that must not be forgotten is the permit. You need a permit to wed in this area and that must be applied for well in advance. Do not leave it until the last minute when you will find yourself struggling and stressed out about whether or not you will get permission in time for the nuptials.

For women who have been dreaming of a Central Park wedding, this type of event is the culmination of years of thinking about it. By planning ahead and following all the rules, you can be sure that you have the perfect day.
