Wedding Entertainment at Tavern on the Green
Bespoke DJs, bilingual MCs and live musicians inside Central Park itself.
A wedding inside Central Park deserves a New York classic
Tavern on the Green is the only major wedding venue inside Central Park — the 1880s Calvert Vaux landmark with its glass-walled Central Park Room, string-lit courtyard, and terraces framed by the park in every direction.
Genesis Events has curated entertainment for luxury New York weddings since 2008. Between garden ceremonies, courtyard cocktails and a glass-box reception, the evening moves through the park itself — and the music moves with it, from golden hour to last call in the Bar Room.

What entertainment costs at Tavern on the Green
Entertainment for a Tavern on the Green wedding is quoted to your celebration, not sold off a shelf. A professional wedding DJ is the foundation, and many couples build from there with a bilingual MC, live cocktail-hour musicians, ceremony sound and custom lighting design.
Because every element is optional, the most useful next step is a tailored quote. Tell us your date, guest count and the moments that matter most.
