Wave Hill: Perfect in Any Season




While most people think of Central Park as the quintessential garden in New York, there are many other choices that offer stunning location for a ceremony.  One of our magnificent locations is the Wave Hill Garden in Riverdale, Overlooking the mighty Hudson.  Only a 20 minute ride from Grand Central Station, Wave Hill feels like it is a world away.  Wave Hill is a public garden with a mission to celebrate the artistry and legacy of its gardens and landscapes and to explore human connections to the natural world through programs in horticulture, education and the arts. Perched high above the Hudson, this venue is breath-taking during any season.

With nearly 30 acres of garden space, Wave Hill boasts a Conservatory, wild flower garden, Alpine greenhouse, woodland, and flower garden as far as the eye can see.  There is a picture perfect pergola that functions as a focal point for a wedding party—or a chuppah for those honoring the Jewish faith.  All of this is situated with one of America’s great rivers in full view.

For an indoor wedding or reception, there is the English-inspired Wave Hill House, on the grounds.   This former estate has been the residence of Samuel Clemens , Theodore Roosevelt, Arturo Toscanini, and two British ambassadors and more.
