Wave Hill
Gardens & arboretums in Bronx
Wave Hill is a public garden and cultural center in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, overlooking the Hudson River and the Palisades, that hosts one evening private event per date to keep each booking exclusive. Ceremonies take place under the Pergola on the Great Lawn or on the Lower Lawn below it, with cocktail hours on either lawn or the Kate French Terrace at the historic Wave Hill House, a three-season space covered two-thirds by a semi-permanent tent. Seated dinners are held in Armor Hall, capped at 120 guests with a band or DJ inside the Hall itself, or 180 if the dance floor moves to the adjoining Mark Twain Room. Weddings run only in the evening, after the gardens close to the public at 5:30pm. Great Performances has served as Wave Hill's exclusive caterer for more than three decades. The site's Private Events office, led by coordinator Abigail Parsons, provides an event ebrochure and maintains a documented history of real weddings on PartySlate.
