Gapstow Bridge is in the South-East corner of Central Park, but guests would need to walk on the pathways around the Pond to get to the bridge. It is a very well-known spot and quite a busy one for passers-by. The trees and the famous buildings of Central Park South provide a lovely backdrop to the bridge. Couples could get married on the stone bridge itself, or if it’s dry, on a small patch of grass near to the Pond, with the bridge in the background. It can only accommodate a small group, but is a lovely place for photographs. To get to Bethesda Terrace in the middle of Central Park, it’s a walk up the Mall from here. In the Winter, it is minutes from the Wollman ice rink and in the Summer, the fun fair is on that site.
