Q: How do I obtain a permit?

A: After making your initial 5% deposit for one of our packages, we can apply for a permit for you. The first step will be to decide on the location, date, time, and number of guests for your ceremony so that we can proceed with the application process.

Q: How long does it take to receive a permit?

A: It takes 21 to 30 days to receive your permit.

Q: When can I apply for my permit?

A: You can apply anytime within the calendar year of your ceremony and at least one month prior to your ceremony.

Q: Is my location blocked off from the public?

A: Although we do acquire a permit for your selected location, we do not have the right to block off the area from the public. Central Park is a public venue and must remain open to everyone. Having the permit allows us to perform your ceremony in your selected location.

Q: Do I need a permit for photography?

A: The only location in Central Park that requires a special photography permit is the Conservatory Gardens.
