We got married at the end of June this year, at the Ladies Pavilion in Central Park with Claire and Wed in Central Park. I couldn't recommend this company more! Claire's attention to detail to bring everything together on the day was first class. We had 12 guests and they all thought it was one of the best weddings they've been to. In the run up, Claire was on hand to expertly organise every aspect of the day. She answered all of our questions as well as making helpful suggestions about aspects of the day we would never have considered. Her wealth of experience was invaluable - as it can be daunting to plan a wedding in NY from the UK. Claire made sure we were reassured at all times.
Her network of officiants, photographers, musicians and videographers are great and it all ran like a well oiled machine!
We researched a number of companies who offer Central Park weddings but I'm so glad we went with Claire.
Thank you for creating the happiest day for us both and the only negative is, we can't do it all again!
If you're looking for a Central Park Wedding, Claire is the planner for you. -

A magical day, crafted by Claire!
Working with Claire was a wonderful experience! My husband and I shopped around online and felt the best vibe from the ‘Wed in Central Park’ website, but it was emailing with Claire that really sealed the deal for us. From the outset she was friendly and knowledgable, straight away we knew this was someone we could trust to help us with our special day. We’re quite disorganised as a pair, but she gave us plenty of grace and politely checked in to make sure things were going okay at our end. Quite quickly she was able to turn our fantasy into a well-planned and organised reality. The photographer she booked for us (Jakub Redziniak) was an absolute superstar, we are so proud of our beautiful pictures. Claire also has a great relationship with both our officiant (Larissa) and our photographer having worked with them both on many occasions, which was important because the day was so intimate, so it really helped us relax into the ceremony. If we could do it all again we wouldn’t change a single thing! -

Claire was absolutely amazing from start to finish! She worked completely with our pace, we didn’t feel rushed to make any decisions but if we had any questions, Claire was always very prompt with her detailed responses. The day was perfect, exactly what we had hoped for when we had started the planning process. Claire chose the most amazing officiant, Kevin, and photographer, Julieanne, both of whom absolutely topped off the day for us by making us feel so comfortable throughout.
For anyone considering a smaller, more intimate and completely personalised wedding like ours, we would 100000% recommend Claire and the team - could not have wished for anything more! -

Everything was great!
I found Claire on Pinterest, we had spontaneously decided to see if it was possible to get married in Central Park while on an upcoming planned trip. I reached out to Claire and it was absolutely easy to set it up. Claire provided so much information about what was possible, with detailed information to consider as we had two elementary school age kids with us as well. She suggested time lines and locations that would match our needs and made arrangements for the permit, photographer and officiant. It was so simple and we were thrilled with how easy it was to work with her. -

Working with Claire was an amazing experience! Claire helped reassure me and my then fiancé's nerves by answering our many (many) questions. The wedding went perfectly and Claire was there every step of the way. She made the process smooth and exciting. Working with her entire team was awesome, everyone from the Officiant, to the Photographer and the Videographer. Nothing short of amazing! There really is no other choice for Central Park Weddings...book Wed in Central Park. -

My husband and I had a great experience with Claire and Wed in Central Park for our elopement. We were looking for a simple, low stress wedding in a beautiful setting, which is exactly what we got. Claire picked up on my personality right away, and so sent only necessary emails and questions, helpful reminders, and specific timeline/deadline information. I didn't feel like I was being upsold or pushed in any direction. I also felt like my desire for a simple wedding was respected and encouraged. Claire consistently responded to my questions offering her thoughts and suggestions. We were given every opportunity to personalize aspects of our wedding as we wanted, but were provided with standard choice if we opted not to personalize something. The officiant and photographer that Claire organized were also very professional and fun. We had our photos back within a couple of days, and they were a nice mix of formal and candid shots that retold our ceremony well. Overall, I would highly recommend working with Wed in Central Park for a wedding in the city and I am so glad Claire's blog convinced us to opt for the Park instead of City Hall! -

Cannot recommend Claire enough. If you're planning a Central Park Wedding, Claire is THE BEST. She was efficient but relaxed, I felt completely at ease, she sorted everything and at such a reasonable price! She made what could be a stressful day completely stress free!
I was considering another wedding planner but Claire made the effort to chase me up on whether I'd made a decision and I was like YES, this lady knows what she's doing!
It was an utterly magical day, thanks again Claire -

We cannot recommend this company highly enough. We planned a small simple elopement in Central Park and working with Claire everything went so smoothly. Claire was so quick to answer any questions, make suggestions and amendments and was always so knowledgeable and friendly. Getting married in New York can seem daunting especially living in UK but Claire made the while process so easy. She was flexible with what we wanted with regards to photography etc and didn't try and push us into things we weren't comfortable with. The officiant and Photographer Claire sourced for us were so wonderful. They made us feel so at ease and I know Claire was constantly on hand to make sure things went smoothly. My dream has always been to secretly elope to New York and thank you so much to Claire for making it happen in the most perfect way. My advice to anyone thinking of getting married in New York would be to DO IT! And definitely use Wed In Central Park to make your dream be home reality. -

Wed in Central Park was truly exceptional from start to finish! Since we planned our ceremony remotely, Claire was worth every penny -- she advised us on the best venue at the park to accommodate our group, obtained the permit, worked carefully with us to devise our schedule, and her vendor recommendations were amazing!!! (We used her recommended officiant, musician, florist, make-up and photographer.) Claire was easy to work with, clearly knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to planning at the park, very responsive -- she always promptly answered emails -- and made recommendations that really helped us make the experience as stress-free as possible! We highly recommend Claire for anyone thinking about doing a ceremony in Central Park. Cheers! -

Claire was amazing from minute one and ensured our big day in NYC was set up perfectly. The day was amazing and went without any hiccups at all. As we were based in the UK Claire took all stress from us and when we arrived everything was set. Highly recommend Claire’s service and expertise -

We planned our wedding in Central Park with only about a month's notice, and Claire made everything easy. She obtained our permit, arranged the schedule, and wrote a beautiful ceremony for us. Our officiant and photographer were also lovely and professional, and our photos turned out great. The packages are also very reasonable. She was helpful and responsive every step of the way, and it was convenient to be able to take care of most details over email. I would recommend this service for anyone who is considering getting married in the park! -

Claire helped me plan an intimate ceremony for my husband and I at Summerhouse at Dene in Central Park. She was great! I went back and forth a few times about whether I wanted to have guests or not, and she was very understanding. She patiently revised the wording for our ceremony. She found the best officiant and photographer for us also. Claire was also very responsive and gave great suggestions. Thank you for everything, Claire! -

Claire is just fantastic, highly recommend!
Having decided to get married last minute in NYC (3 weeks before wedding date!) I really didn't know where to turn, what we needed to do beforehand or what our options even were. Thankfully a Google search led me to Claire from wed in Central Park. From the very first email I knew we were in safe hands with claire. She immediately put my mind at rest and everything continued to be so straight forward thereafter. Claire was always so concise with her information, I felt I could ask any questions-even ones I felt were a bit silly!! She advised on what our best options were, even as far as where to dine that night and recommendations for hairdresser's!! Claire also wrote a beautiful ceremony for us, with little information from us she managed to capture both our feelings and personalities in it.
The two people Claire booked for us were Kevin, the officiant and Jakub, our photographer. I couldn't speak highly enough of both. Kevin was so personable and we felt very at ease with him throughout our ceremony.
Neither my partner or I are particularly into photos but obviously for the day that was in it we had to suck it up!!! Jakub was just perfect, put us at ease instantly and we had a lovely time with him, walking through Central Park to different locations. He was so professional but easy going and so friendly.
We can't thank Claire enough for everything, she made our trip from ireland to New York to get married so seamless and easy. If you're thinking of getting married in Central Park don't look any further than Claire and 'wed in Central park'. 5 stars!! -

Wed in Central Park
Wed in Central Park were fantastic. Claire organised everything for us and kept us in the loop from day 1. Claire also helped with some added extra's. The whole experience was stress free. Claire helped organise our wedding licence and then all
We needed to do was turn up. Photographer and officiant were also fantastic that Claire arranged.
Claire responds straight away with any questions and even kept us up to date with the weather on the day!
The price for a wedding is so good.
We waited 29 years to get married and it was worth the wait for. The wedding was amazing, in the city we both love and with 20 members of our family. Thank you Claire at Wed in Central Park for such an amazing day . -

Claire was so helpful with helping us organise our wedding. She answered all our questions with patience and experience, no matter how small or silly. She had brilliant connections with professional and friendly photographers, hair and make-up artists, vehicles and officiants, and communicated with them and us brilliantly, despite a time difference of 5 hours between us. She was organised and we were kept informed at all stages of the planning. Would 100% recommend to anyone considering a wedding in Central Park. -

I can’t recommend Claire at Wed in Central Park enough. The service she provides leaves nothing to chance, everything is organised for you and it takes all the stress out of the day. This meant we enjoyed every single moment and the whole day went without a hitch. Our officiant and photographer were fabulous too. Thankyou again Claire x -
