We allow weddings in Central Park at the gazebo or fountain and the gazebo behind Deaconess Hospital. There is no charge to use any of these sites. We do ask that you call our office at (270) 831-1274 and reserve them to avoid schedule conflicts with other events. Decorations are permitted, but we ask that you use string or tape, not nails. And please, clean up before you leave. We require the completion of a free reservation form. We will date stamp it and give you a copy. On the day of your wedding/event you have proof that you reserved the facility in case someone else is there using the facility during your designated time.
