Cop Cot Weddings in Central Park
A charming rustic pavilion on a hilltop, surrounded by greenery, skyline views, and one of Central Park’s most romantic settings for elopements, destination weddings, and larger guest groups.
Get married at Cop Cot.
Cop Cot is one of Central Park’s most charming wedding locations, with a natural wooden gazebo tucked on top of a hill and framed by greenery, rustic branches, and a beautiful New York skyline backdrop.
The name Cop Cot is Scottish for “little house on the crest of a hill,” which perfectly describes the setting. It feels intimate and storybook-like while still offering enough space and structure for larger wedding groups.
Ultimate USA Weddings helps couples shape the ceremony, coordinate the Central Park permit details, guide the wedding-day flow, and help ensure the correct paperwork is obtained for the couple’s home country, state, or region.
A rustic Central Park pavilion with room for romance.
Cop Cot is ideal for couples who love the feeling of a garden ceremony, but want a more defined setting than an open lawn or pathway.
The wooden pavilion creates a natural ceremony frame, the benches give guests the option to sit or stand, and the walk up to Cop Cot can become a beautiful wedding processional. It is also one of the strongest Central Park options for couples with larger guest counts.
Rustic, romantic, and beautiful in every season.
Cop Cot has a unique atmosphere throughout the year, from lush greenery in spring and summer to a more rustic, branch-lined character in winter.
