About Fairmount Water Works (Eagle Pavilion gazebo)

A wedding at the Fairmount Water Works centers on the Eagle Pavilion, a round gazebo with an eagle on top, on the east bank of the Schuylkill between Boathouse Row and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It is one of the City's named spots for a wedding ceremony or wedding photos, and the historic Water Works buildings and the river behind them make lovely wedding photos and video in any season.

What you can do here is hold a short wedding ceremony at the gazebo, booked in a two-hour window, or book wedding photos by the hour. Gazebo permits run only until 3 p.m., so this is a morning or early-afternoon plan. The permit does not allow amplified sound or seating, so plan a standing ceremony. For the wedding video, a lapel microphone on the officiant helps the vows carry over the sound of the river and passing visitors. An outdoor reception, chairs or amplified sound need a separate Parks and Recreation special events application.

Apply at least 14 days before your date through the Parks and Recreation Special Events Office, paying by check or money order made out to Fairmount Park; later applications need a cashier's check. Walk the paths with your photographer beforehand to choose spots by the gazebo, along the river and with the Art Museum above. Most couples head to a wedding reception elsewhere afterward, so plan the timing of your wedding day around the 3 p.m. cutoff and travel time.

  • Download the City's ceremony and photo permit and apply at least 14 days ahead.
  • Plan your ceremony and pictures to finish by 3 p.m.
  • Ask the Special Events Office about any other gazebo conditions.
