Yes, a permit is required for elopements and microweddings in City Park. But don’t worry, we’ll handle it for you. Your package includes the permit, so you can skip the paperwork and just show up ready to celebrate.
City Park offers numerous picturesque locations for ceremonies such as under a majestic centuries old oak or Butler Fountain.
The permit typically includes access to Butler Fountain (or McDonough Tree) and the iconic stone bridge for additional photography.
For optimal lighting, it’s recommended to plan your ceremony either shortly after sunrise or during the two hours before sunset. These times offer soft, flattering light ideal for photography.
Pack a few small essentials (in a tote or small bag) to keep things smooth and comfortable, blotting tissue for makeup touch-ups, facial tissue for happy tears, a bottle of water to stay hydrated, and a change of shoes if you’ll want something comfier after the ceremony. We’ll handle the rest.
No matter where you dream of saying ‘I do,’ we have the perfect package to make it effortless and magical.
