Romantic Wedding in Connecticut

Elizabeth Park Rose Garden

West Hartford, CT

 

Elizabeth Park Rose Garden, with its ivy-covered gazebo and arches of blooming roses, is a perennial favorite for romantic couples to get married.

In addition to the Rose Garden, Elizabeth Park has a Perennial Garden, Tulip and Annual Garden, Shade Garden, Pergola, pond with bridge, and other ideal areas for your wedding and pictures. In fact, it is impossible to show you all the possibilities! You can visit Elizabeth Park’s website at WWW.ElizabethParkCT.Org to see more. Their What’sBloomingWhen Page is very helpful! (And you’ll love the pictures!)

Elizabeth Park is owned by the City of Hartford, CT, and is physically located in West Hartford, CT. This can be confusing! You must get your marriage license in West Hartford (please see the next paragraph The former east entrance to Elizabeth Park has been permanently closed and the road that used to circle the rose garden is no longer available for parking or motor vehicle travel. This change was made to ensure public safety, especially for pedestrians. You must use the north entrance at 1561 Asylum Ave, West Hartford, CT 06117.

You will get your license to get married in Elizabeth Park Rose Garden at the West Hartford Town Clerk’s Office in West Hartford Town Hall at 50 South Main Street, Room 313, West Hartford, CT 06107. Please call the Town Clerk’s Office at 860-561-7430 to make an appointment; you can also visit West Hartford’s website at WWW.WestHartfordCT.Gov.

You should get a permit to get married in Elizabeth Park; there are two reasons: First, if you have the relatively inexpensive permit, nobody can take your reserved space, and if somebody without a permit for your time is already there, you can ask them politely to leave, and if they don’t comply then the authorities will force them to let you have the area which you reserved. The second reason you will want an official permit is that the fee that you and other couples pay gives you and your guests access to the new (in 2022) parking spaces and genuinely nice ladies’ and gentlemen’s rooms (far nicer than the Porta Potties). To get a permit, you can visit HartfordCT.Gov/Government/Departments/DDS/DDS-Services/Elizabeth-Park-Wedding-Ceremony-or-Pictures, or you can call 860-757-9526.
