About FDR Park Boathouse

A wedding at the FDR Park Boathouse is a simple, outdoor kind of wedding in South Philadelphia's FDR Park. The boathouse is one of the City's named spots for a wedding ceremony or wedding photos on Parks and Recreation land, so your photographer and videographer can plan pictures by the boathouse and the park around it, with a permit from the City.

What you can do here is hold a ceremony in a two-hour window or book pictures by the hour. The permit for the boathouse does not allow amplified sound or seating, so plan a short, standing ceremony with a natural voice, and keep that in mind for the video: your videographer will want a small microphone on the officiant or one of you so the vows come through clearly outdoors. An outdoor reception, chairs, amplified sound or any park services need a separate Parks and Recreation special events application.

Plan ahead with the paperwork. The application goes to the Parks and Recreation Special Events Office at least 14 days before your date, with payment by check or money order; later applications need a cashier's check. Have your photographer join you on a visit to choose where the light falls best at the time of day you'll be there, and bring a plan for rain. Many couples use a park ceremony like this before a reception somewhere else in the city, so leave time to travel on your wedding day.

  • Download the City's wedding ceremony and photo permit and apply at least 14 days ahead.
  • Plan for no chairs or amplified sound, or file the special events application.
  • Ask the Special Events Office about any other conditions for the boathouse.
