The most popular place for weddings is the Conservatory Garden area. With three different areas to choose from, each with a feature pool or fountain, there is a style to suit everyone. The English garden has a labyrinth and the Italian style pergola provides an ideal background for photos. This area is situated just off 5th Ave. At 105th St.

Another popular location for wedding parties is The Ladies Pavilion. It is over on the west side of the city between 75th and 76th Streets. This extremely picturesque Victorian styled pavilion is adjacent to The Lake. It brings to mind the Victorian era when young women carrying parasols and their beaus walked among the trees and bushes planning their own special day.
