Keep Calm and Get Married In The Queen Elizabeth Garden
The Garden was developed from a plan by English landscape designers Julian and Isabel Bannerman. It combines this park’s footprint with the shape of the British Isles, enclosed by a ribbon of Morayshire sandstone quarried from the highlands of Scotland.
Serving as a living geography lesson, this ribbon of stone is inscribed from north to south with the shires of the British Isles, from Aberdeen to Portland. A large, rounded “Braemar” stone, smoothed over the years by the passage of the Dee River near HM Queen Elizabeth’s Balmoral estate in Aberdeenshire, sits at the south end of the Garden. In the spirit of a cairn, it marks the distance from New York City to Aberdeen.
Here in the Garden , the rich tradition of English gardens meets the urban American landscape. Lynden B. Miller and Ronda M. Brands, of the New York firm Lynden B. Miller Public Garden Design, worked with the Bannermans design to create a park that would endure through all seasons, with plants that capture the spirit of an English garden.

Riverside Park - Weddings At The 79th Street Boat Basin
Riverside Park
In the 1870s Frederick Law Olmsted was in the
midst of designing a lovely green space above the Hudson River on the Upper
West Side of Manhattan — Riverside Park. Today, the Park we
enjoy is more than 330 acres of beautiful parkland from 59th to 155th Street. Each of the levels has a distinct character and
hosts specific activities.
Strollers particularly enjoy the volunteer-maintained gardens at 83rd Street,
The Garden People’s plantings at 91st Street and the allée of sycamore and London Plane-trees from 101st to 110th Street.
A community garden inside the park at 138th Street delights those who discover it.
The 79th Street Boat Basin, the view's the
thing—especially the view of the sun as it gorgeously sinks behind the
Palisades every clear night. This is the Upper West Side's unofficial summer
HQ, full of grill smoke and dogs on leashes and babies in carriages.
It's loud, Fun and the food is basic
BBQ.
