Shakespeare Garden, Central Park


Among my favorite spots in Central Park is the Shakespeare Garden.  This quaint nook is situated off of Central Park West at about 79th Street.  Even for the directionally challenged like myself, the path to the Garden is obvious, and it behind the little Swedish Playhouse.  The little slice of Heaven was created nearly a century ago, to mark the 300th anniversary of the death of Shakespeare.  Among the charming elements of the garden is the fact that all of the flowers and herbs in the area are mentioned in some work of The Bard.  No matter the season, the garden is a superb spot for a small wedding.  This area is multi tiered, facilitating beautiful photographs.  With a beautiful staircase, it provides for a beautiful processional for the bridal party.



The apex of the garden is a small area perfectly set aside from others in Central Park.  Over the many times that I have been to this part of the Park, I am always surprised at had quiet it is, with relatively few visitors.  This is of great benefit to any wedding party.  On a hill directly above the Garden is the Belvedere Castle, another excellent photo location for any wedding.
