An Unrivaled Setting
Small Private Ceremony & Champagne Toast
During these unprecedented times, allow Wave Hill and our exclusive caterer Great Performances to facilitate celebrating your wedding with a Socially Distanced Ceremony on our Great Lawn. Your guests have ample space to witness your ceremony after the grounds have closed.
Nowhere else in New York City can you host your ceremony and post-ceremony champagne toast overlooking the Palisades and Hudson River on our Upper Lawn at sunset, or on the terrace of Wave Hill House surrounded by our gardens and conifer tree forest.
Pricing begins at $4,500, a portion of which includes a tax-deductible membership to Wave Hill and exclusive access to our astonishing grounds.
As an additional option for this event, Great Performances will work with you to distribute mini-bottles of champagne to guests who are celebrating with you remotely if you choose to livestream this momentous occasion.
Contact Erica Koenig, Private Events Coordinator, at erica.koenig@wavehill.org to schedule your ceremony today. Ceremonies will be scheduled to take place when gathering restrictions are lifted.
