Frequently asked
How far ahead should we book an NYC venue?
12–18 months for Saturdays in peak season; 6–9 months is workable off-peak or on Fridays/Sundays.
Do we need a permit for a Central Park ceremony?
Yes — the NYC Parks special-events permit is required for anything beyond a small unamplified gathering.
