If you’re interested in spicing up your day with the glamour of the big city (even without the huge crowds) then look no further. There are TONS of amazing places in NYC that can offer you the elopement of your dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some stunning ceremony \/ photo locations throughout NYC. One of the most popular and well-known is Central Park. Even if you’ve never been, you’ve seen Central Park before: the water fountain from the Friends intro, the snowball fight in Elf, or the Pigeon Lady from Home Alone 2 are some of the most famous scenes in cinema. This offers up the chance to take some epic photos near famous locations, or maybe even recreate those scenes if you’re feeling playful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best things about Central Park is the variety it offers. Spanning 2.5 miles, there are plenty of places where you can have a quieter, more private ceremony, if you’d prefer. Good locations for privacy are: Cop Cot, Ladies Pavilion, Gapstow Bridge, the Conservatory Garden or Belvedere Castle just to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is free to elope in Central Park for groups smaller than 20. For groups of more than 20, and a maximum of 50, you will need to obtain a $25 permit. However be sure to read and understand the legalities of a New York elopement, outline above, before you do anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cityscapes<\/h3>\n\n\n

New York City is famous for its cityscapes, with its skyline being recognized by people all around the world. If you want to incorporate NYC’s famous buildings into your elopement then a city hall or courthouse elopement could be for you. After your ceremony, you can have a photo session around the city incorporating some of the famous locations. You can even find a place with some city views in the background that would be much less crowded, like Pebble Beach or Gantry Plaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional Weddings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For those opting for a more traditional wedding that may have a larger number of guests, a good option may be a hotel space or rooftop overlooking the city. The options for this are endless, but The Sophia, The Bowery Garden or Rooftop are a few amazing locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
