The most beautiful wedding!

Claire from Wed in Central Park was brilliant to work with and I would highly recommend her. We got married in the ladies pavilion on 28th December 2024, and despite a bit of rain, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day.

I live in the UK and my partner lives in NY. As it wasn’t our “main wedding” we just wanted a low key registry office type wedding, however the way it works in NY, we wouldn’t have been able to confirm a date until a few weeks before, which wouldn’t have been ideal for family members needing to fly to NY.

That’s when my dad came across Claire, who was able to book us a date and time well in advance, as well as a beautiful location in Central Park - a bit of a step up from the registry office! All for a very good price as well (we only required the most basic package but it still included a lot).

We chose the ladies pavilion as it had cover for if it rained, and also a bit of seating. All 18 of us (including the two of us and the officiant) were able to fit in. The officiant that Claire booked for us, Kevin Bain, put on a lovely ceremony and I would highly recommend him too.

Throughout the process Claire was organised, informative and happy to answer any of our questions always replying promptly. She also helped with suggestions for hair/restaurants etc. too.

If you’re looking to elope or have a small, low key wedding, then Wed in Central Park is the perfect option!

Incredible Experience- One we will never forget

We went with Claire at Wed in Central Park because we wanted to elope and take the stress out of planning and having a wedding.

Claire helped us achieve that at every step of the process.

She kept in contact, was always available if we had a question.

And the wedding day could not have gone any smoother than it did.

We highly recommend and are eternally grateful for making such a special day to us so stress free and memorable.

Thank you for everything Claire.

Simon and Sophie.

I have been working with Claire Ady, the owner of Wed In Central Park since 2012 as a wedding photographer. She is a wonderful and thoughtful wedding planner. She is organized, fun, creative, responsible and very professional. Central Park is such an iconic and romantic location to get married. Every bride and groom I’ve worked with have been very happy with all the arrangements Claire did for their special day including ordering beautiful flowers, make-up and hair appointments to transportation to the reception for couples that have brought guests with them as far as Australia! I highly recommend hiring Wed In Central Park as your wedding planner.
