The Wollman Ice Skating Rink Elopement of Rachel & Stuart | A Unique Central Park Wedding

Looking for a magical Central Park location for their intimate elopement, Rachel and Stuart found the perfect spot at the Wollman Ice Skating Rink. Indeed, it is a stunning local that provided a breathtaking backdrop for their elopement ceremony.

The Wollman Rink in Central Park is a popular destination for ice skating during the winter months. Moreover, it’s also an awe-inspiring location for an intimate elopement. As hockey fans and ice skaters, Rachel and Stuart’s decision to choose this iconic location for their elopement was a stroke of genius.

As their officiant, I was thrilled to be a part of their special day at the Wollman Rink. Rachel and Stuart’s love made the chilly evening warm and inviting. Besides, the city skyline, sparkling with lights behind us, was the perfect setting for this once-in-a-lifetime moment.

It was a scene straight out of a movies…

As the ceremony began, it reminded me of a moment from the film Serendipity. In the movie, Sara Thomas asks Jonathan Trager about his favorite New York moment, to which he replies, “This one’s climbing the charts.” That sentiment felt fitting for Rachel and Stuart’s wedding ceremony. It was a moment that was sure to be a cherished memory for years to come.

The evening was personal and intimate, a true reflection of Rachel and Stuart’s love for each other. As I officiated the ceremony, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe at the power of love.

As the ceremony closed, Rachel and Stuart shared a quiet kiss on the empty ice. However, the sparkling city lights loudly cheered them on from behind. It was a moment of pure joy. It was a celebration, a blink that would forever be etched into the tapestry of their lives.

The Wollman Rink elopement was a reminder that sometimes, the best things in life are worth taking a chance on. Rachel and Stuart had traveled overseas to experience the magic of New York City and had found it at the Wollman Rink. Additionally, it was a priceless moment for all of us.

If you’re planning an elopement or intimate wedding in New York City, consider the Wollman Rink as a stunning and unique location. Furthermore, this iconic destination offers a breathtaking backdrop for your special day and will surely provide memories that will last a lifetime.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you need ideas or advice for something magical. As an experienced officiant, I can help you plan the perfect ceremony, dreamy locations and make your wedding day truly unforgettable.

💞 20 Years, 4 Kids, and a Whole Lot of Love 💞

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.

✨ Just Married at Wagner Cove ✨

Who says you have to say “I do” at City Hall? This couple brought that classic New York City Hall vibe to the great outdoors — right in the heart of Central Park. 🌿💍

Wagner Cove is one of my favorite hidden gems for intimate wedding ceremonies in NYC. It’s peaceful, romantic, and perfect for couples looking for a private elopement location in Central Park.

Thinking of skipping the courthouse and saying your vows lakeside instead? As a licensed NYC wedding officiant, I help couples plan the perfect ceremony — whether that’s on the steps of City Hall or tucked away in a secret spot like this one.

📆 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.

Two beautiful brides, one unforgettable beach wedding. 🏳️‍🌈💍🌊

Denisse & Nicole said I do with their toes in the sand and the ocean breeze in their hair at the stunning Sunny Atlantic Beach Club. Their love story radiated through every moment — laughter, happy tears, and one of the most heartfelt ceremonies I’ve had the honor to officiate.

The beach, the joy, the pure magic of their connection... it was everything.✨🌈

I’m forever grateful to be a part of love stories like theirs. Here’s to a lifetime of sunrises, salty kisses, and choosing each other—again and again.
