Where is a good place to get married in New York City?

Asked by erichw1504 (26448points) October 23rd, 2009

What would be the best place for me and my future wife to get married in New York City, NY? We are both in our early twenties and don’t want the “traditional” wedding. We’d like it to be a little different and we’re not very religious, so no churches. A beach would be preferable. It will be a fairly small wedding, probably around 50 people.

Any other information about what we could include with the wedding or good practices would also be appreciative.

Central Park.
And, hopefully in the summer.

Socrates Sculpture Park in Queens
The garden at the Noguchi Museum, also in Queens
Brooklyn, New York or Queens Botanical Gardens
Prospect Park, Brooklyn
The Brooklyn Promenade
The national park at the Statue of Liberty

Do you want New York City or do you want a beach? They seem almost mutually exclusive. If you want to be by the water you might try Battery Park or Governor’s Island. Another neat place might be by the Cloisters Medieval Museum in Fort Tryon Park. Or the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens in May when the cherry blossoms are out.

“Come and have a knish.
When I marry my dish…”

I like the sound of it, pd. I want to come to your wedding.

dpworkin's avatar

You’re invited. Now talk Vicky into marrying me. I’ve been waiting.

janbb's avatar

I would think the promise of a knish and you would be unrefusable.

you can get married at the Empire State Building, but only on Valentine’s Day, and you have to apply ahead of time. lol

Gee, that sounds familiar. Wait, wait – don’t tell me. A quote from The Patramionrye of Abraham Kahan?

if you are obsessed with the location perhaps you should reconsider making a lifetime vow
