CENTRAL PARK (Midtown, New York City)
A popular and WORLD famous place to elope and have an intimate ceremony with close friends and family. There are so many different locations in Central Park that would work to have either a small elopement or a large group. (Any groups over 20 must register for a permit. The permit is $400 - check out Central Park’s Wedding Website for more information since policies are changing everyday!)
My top favorite spots in Central Park are The Ladies Pavilion, Bethesda Fountain / Bethesda Terrace, Wagner Cove and Cop Cot.
