About The Plaza

The 1907 landmark hotel at Fifth Avenue and Central Park South, with Central Park, Grand Army Plaza and the Pulitzer Fountain just outside.

Photographing a wedding here

Historic buildings often have rules about where you can go and when, so we confirm access with the venue before the day.

With getting ready, ceremony and reception under one roof, the day flows easily, and we can scout the hotel for quiet portrait corners.

This guide is independent. RF Studios is not affiliated with The Plaza, and being listed here is not an endorsement either way. Details change, so confirm dates, capacity and house rules directly with the venue.
