The name translates to “beautiful view” and the views from the top are just that! Offering two balconies with panoramic views of the Great Lawn, Turtle Pond and several other locations in the park. Our photographers have captured many beautiful elopement photos in and near the castle and love visiting.

NYC may be the only place in the world where you can get married in a castle for free! While our elopement photographers do suggest applying for the permit to reserve Belvedere Castle for your elopement, Central Park doesn’t require it if you are having an intimate wedding. Belvedere Castle offers a romantic elopement location in the park overlooking Turtle Pond and plenty of amazing photo opps! Be sure to check out Elizabeth & Ivan’s romantic celebration at the popular Central Park elopement location.

Truth is a 150-guest wedding with rehearsal dinner, church ceremony, cocktail and reception celebration just isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Not every Bride (or groom) wants to spend a year or more planning their big day, with a hefty price tag of around $45,000 (average wedding cost in NYC). That’s a big part of the reason intimate elopements are on the rise! Our all-inclusive Central Park elopement packages are perfect for couples seeking a smaller yet special celebration for their big day. Our elopement team recently had the honor of officiating and photographing the nuptials of Angeli and Gregory at Belvedere Castle along with a few of their closest friend. Check it out!
