Wave Hill
With intimate gardens and spectacular views of the Palisades, Wave Hill offers a romantic setting for an unforgettable wedding. Exchange vows under the lushly planted Pergola overlooking the Hudson. Weddings at Wave Hill may take place only in the evening, during non-public hours.

In 2011, our indoor event space will undergo restoration. During this time, Wave Hill will allow a limited number of tented weddings on its spectacular grounds. The tent can accommodate 250 guests.

The ability to rent Wave Hill for a private evening event is a benefit at the Conservator level of Wave Hill Membership .

This tax-deductible $10,000 contribution for the 12-month period including the event date, provides the event hosts with the additional benefits of the Membership at the Conservator level.

Rental Fee
In addition to the contribution amount, the Rental Fee is $2,500. Tent rental fees start at $6,000 and vary according to your needs and choices.

Catering
The average catering cost for a Great Performances wedding is $235 per person beyond the Wave Hill contribution requirement and Rental Fee. This approximate cost includes menu, staff, rentals and premium open-bar. Floral arrangements, mandatory valet parking and entertainment are not included in this estimate.
