Carl Shurz Park, UES Gem


While Central Park is the most popular outdoor location for small weddings, the five boroughs of New York are filled to the brim with other terrific municipal spaces that make for a special wedding. Consider the Carl Schurz Park, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

The Park is adjacent to Gracie Mansion, the official home of the Mayor of New York City. There are terrific nooks and flowering gardens that provide a lovely backdrop for the wedding. Likewise, the park hugs the East River, providing spectacular views for wedding photographs. Carl Schurz park is a favorite spot for Upper East Side locals…and may be just what you are looking for if you are seeking a more secluded spot for your special day.
