I'm Jenny. Aka: your Elopement Fairy Godmother
After 15 years and more than 1,000 NYC elopements, I still get starry-eyed over Central Park.
But with over 840 acres of arches, meadows, lakes, and hidden nooks, figuring out where to elope in Central Park can feel overwhelming.
That’s where I come in. I’m a born-and-raised New Yorker who’s walked this park at sunrise, scouted it in snowstorms, and photographed vows under both cherry blossoms and autumn leaves. I know which spots look magical in photos, which are actually private, and which are swarming with tourists by noon.
This guide is my gift to you so you can stop stressing and start picturing your day. Instead of “uhh…where do we even begin?” you’ll be saying, “yep, this is our spot.”
