Riverside Park - Weddings At The 79th Street Boat Basin

Riverside Park

In the 1870s Frederick Law Olmsted was in the midst of designing a lovely green space above the Hudson River on the Upper West Side of Manhattan — Riverside Park.  Today, the Park we enjoy is more than 330 acres of beautiful parkland from 59th to 155th Street. Each of the levels has a distinct character and hosts specific activities.

Strollers particularly enjoy the volunteer-maintained gardens at 83rd Street, 


The Garden People’s plantings at 91st Street and the allée of sycamore and London Plane-trees from 101st to 110th Street.
 A community garden inside the park at 138th Street delights those who discover it. 

The 79th Street Boat Basin, the view's the thing—especially the view of the sun as it gorgeously sinks behind the Palisades every clear night. This is the Upper West Side's unofficial summer HQ, full of grill smoke and dogs on leashes and babies in carriages.

 It's loud, Fun  and the food is basic BBQ.

A Central Park Wedding By The Alice in Wonderland Statues

Located just north of the Conservation Water   at East 74th Street, Alice in Wonderland stands eleven feet tall in bronze. The sculpture was constructed in

1959 by  José de Creeft . Atypical of most sculptures, children are invited to climb, touch and crawl all over Alice and her friends. In fact, through the decades thousands of hands and feet have literally polished parts of the statue’s surface smooth. The\centerpiece of the work is Alice, who's face is Creeft’s daughter. She  is pictured sitting on a giant mushroom reaching toward a pocket watch held by the White Rabbit. Peering over her shoulder is the Cheshire Cat, surrounded by the Dormouse, Alice's cat Dinah, and the Mad Hatter -- a caricature of George Delacorte. 
 Located just north of the Conservation Water  at East 74th Street.

A Central Park Wedding By The Pool

With its grassy banks, weeping willows and rushing waterfall, the Pool is one of the most charming spots in the Park.
Central Park’s designers, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, constructed the Pool by damming up a natural stream that was known as Montayne’s Rivulet. They sent the water along a northeastward course to form both the Loch and the Harlem Meer.
Today, the water that gushes out of a grotto on the Pool’s southern shoreline is in actuality New York City drinking water that comes from a pipe hidden by the rocks. 

Many species of birds, fish and amphibians can be seen at the Pool.
In 2003, the Central Park Conservancy completed a restoration of the Pool, protecting it as a healthy environment for wildlife and a picturesque landscape for Park visitors.
The water body was dredged of sediment. New aquatic plantings were added, and the Conservancy’s artisans crafted rustic benches and the Park’s most elegant wooden bridge 
that overlooks the Glen Span waterfall

Between West 101st & 102nd street - North Lawn of pool (10-15ppl)

South Lawn of Pool ( 20-25ppl)

A Central Park Wedding At The Swedish Cottage

The Swedish Cottage, was placed in Central Park in 1877 at the suggestion of Frederick Law Olmsted. 

Constructed in Sweden of native pine and cedar, the model schoolhouse was dismantled, packed in crates, and shipped across the Atlantic, then re-erected by Swedish craftsmen on the Exposition grounds. Furnished with desks and chalkboards, and staffed by Swedish teachers, the popular pavilion welcomed many visitors.
 

Today the Swedish Cottage is  the home of the Marionette Theatre In a show of patriotism, both Swedish and American flags fly from the what was once a traditional schoolhouse.

In addition to hosting marionette performances, which are often attended by classes throughout the school year, the Cottage is also available for children's birthday parties.

A Central Park Wedding On The Great Hill

     
The Great Hill is an open hilltop meadow with picnic tables, a three-quarter mile soft surface oval path (good for a jog), and green grass under stately American elms.
Olmsted and Vaux designed the Great Hill as a carriage concourse where passengers could enjoy commanding views of the Hudson River and the Palisades, but with the passing of time and the growing of trees, the view slowly disappeared. In the 1940s and 1950s, the Great Hill was turned into a recreation area with bocce, tennis and volleyball courts and horseshoe pits, but by the 1980s, it was an abandoned and dilapidated ruin. The restoration of the landscape in 1993 as a place for community leisure finally gave the Great Hill the contemporary identity it needed.
Now, the Great Hill is the site of family and church picnics, frisbee games, running or race walking on the oval track, musical concerts, film screenings and a popular series of free multicultural performances and art workshops for families.
 Great Hill (100 ppl.) – W. 103rd
