Belvedere Castle Weddings in Central Park

Get married at Belvedere Castle.
Belvedere Castle is one of Central Park’s most memorable ceremony settings, named from the Italian for “beautiful view.” Its stonework, elevated scenery, and classic park atmosphere give intimate weddings a storybook sense of place.
Because Belvedere Castle is within a public park, couples should plan for other park visitors nearby and allow time for the walk into the setting. Some routes and areas involve steps, so guest mobility and accessibility should be considered when planning arrival.
