Central Park Ceremony at Ladies Pavilion: Madeleine & Craig

Celebrate Love with a Central Park Ceremony: Madeleine & Craig’s Magical NYC Elopement

When it comes to unforgettable Central Park Ceremonies, Madeleine and Craig’s wedding at the Ladies Pavilion is one for the books. Epically, surrounded by the Central Park’s timeless beauty and their two children. These lovebirds said “I do” in a ceremony filled with love, laughter and a touch of whimsy.

A Heartfelt Central Park Ceremony Under the NYC Sky

Set against the charming backdrop of the Ladies Pavilion, Madeleine and Craig’s ceremony was as heartfelt as it was unique. From the start, their daughter stole the show with a sweet reading from Dr. Seuss:

“We are all a little bit weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.”

Cue the happy tears! 😭

It was clear that the couple’s intimate Central Park Ceremony perfectly captured the spirit of the park and the deep connection they share. Every detail—from their heartfelt vows to the joyful laughter of their children—came together to create an unforgettable day.

A Love That Lasts Forever – In Ink

Adorably, Madeleine has found a unique way to keep this magical day close to her heart forever. First, she celebrated with a stunning NYC skyline tattoo—a tribute to the city where her love story reached this incredible milestone. But the celebration doesn’t stop there. Next up? She’s planning to have her wedding bouquet flowers inked as a lasting symbol of the love and joy she felt on her wedding day.

Why Central Park’s Ladies Pavilion is the Perfect Spot for Your Central Park Ceremony

Nestled by the lake with views of the Manhattan skyline, the Ladies Pavilion is one of Central Park’s most iconic locations for ceremonies. Obvioulsy, the appeal lies not only in its intricate ironwork and charming design, but also in its ability to provide a romantic, intimate setting while embracing the vibrant energy of NYC. What’s even better is that every season brings its own magic to this location. Whether it’s the golden hues of autumn leaves or the soft pastels of spring blooms, the Ladies Pavilion offers a picture-perfect backdrop for your Central Park Ceremony.

An Unforgettable Day in Central Park

Madeleine and Craig’s big day was full of love, laughter, and memorable moments. From start to finish, their wedding felt like a celebration of who they are as a family. Highlights included their children’s sweet participation and the intimate vows exchanged under the Pavilion’s iconic structure. Every piece of the day fell into place beautifully, creating memories they’ll treasure forever.

Plan Your Own Central Park Ceremony

Think about it, if you’ve been imagining of an adventurous, laughter-filled wedding day, take a page from Madeleine and Craig’s book. Just reach out and get in touch. We encourage you to embrace the unexpected, lean into tradition (or make your own!), and don’t forget to have fun. After all, the best weddings are the ones that reflect who you are as a couple. Here’s to love, laughter, and a lifetime of shared adventures.

Silke & Frank renewed their vows at the iconic Bethesda Fountain in Central Park — and it was magic. ✨

After 20 years of marriage and raising four beautiful children together, their love still shines just as bright. This wasn’t just a vow renewal it was a celebration of everything they’ve built, everything they’ve weathered, and everything still to come. ❤️

Vow renewals in NYC can be just as emotional and meaningful as a wedding day — and we were so honored to bring this one to life. From the ceremony to the photos and all the planning in between... Team Reinking does it all.

📆 Weekly Series: “Elopement Myth Monday” 

✨ “Wait, you’re eloping? Isn’t that like… super rushed and not emotional?”

If I had a dollar for every time someone said that, I’d have a second apartment overlooking Central Park. 😂 But seriously, elopements are not what they used to be. They’re not “less than,” and they’re definitely not boring.

💥 New blog just dropped: “5 Myths About Eloping — Busted by a NYC Elopement Officiant

I’ve heard all the myths:
🚫 It’s rushed
🚫 It’s not emotional
🚫 It’s not a real wedding
🚫 You’ll miss out on the fun
🚫 It’s just a budget option
And I’m here to bust every single one.

If you’re thinking about ditching the big wedding and doing it your way… this is your permission slip.

📍 Read the full blog post and stay tuned, because I’ll be busting one myth a week right here on the ‘gram.
