Harlem Meer Picnic Reception

Steve Worth Photography · Sep 4, 2015 · Leave a Comment

Rachel and Neal were married July 10th at the Wisteria Pergola in Central Park Conservatory Gardens.  Their Harlem Meer picnic reception immediately followed in Central Park.  This was a destination wedding for the bride and groom, who both live in England.  Their honeymoon was in the Florida Keys afterward.

The Wedding Day

It was a nice day, a little hot during the ceremony. The reception was right on the lake in Harlem Meer (across from Mount Sinai hospital) and was very nice with a cool breeze. The food was from Second Avenue Deli, providing a great spread of sandwiches and salads.  A saxophone player played the first dance song  Gerry Rafferty – Right Down the Line, and he was great the whole time.
