About River Common

River Common is Wilkes-Barre's riverfront park on the east bank of the Susquehanna, and a wedding at River Common gives your photos and video a backdrop of water, gardens and old trees right downtown. The park spans both sides of the Market Street Bridge, with a quarter mile of paved paths lined with gardens and ornamental trees, two grand gateways linking the city to the river, and a 300-foot fishing pier reaching out over the water. Your photographer will find plenty to work with in a short walk.

The county says its riverfront parks can be reserved for weddings, and River Common has spaces of every size: the 750-seat amphitheater, the small Sordoni Circle for about 100 standing guests, and the Grand Landing for a very large crowd. A small wedding ceremony at Sordoni Circle or a portrait session along the paths both suit the place. The park's path leads straight to the Luzerne County Courthouse and its gardens, so couples getting married in the courthouse rotunda can step outside for wedding pictures by the river.

Open dawn to dusk year-round, the park has portable restrooms only, which is worth planning around. For your wedding video, think about wind off the river and traffic on the bridge; a small microphone for the officiant helps. Reservations go through the City of Wilkes-Barre's Office of Special Events, which can explain what's allowed on your wedding day.

  • Call the city's Office of Special Events to reserve a space.
  • Walk the paths and the pier with your photographer at your ceremony hour.
  • Ask about photo and video guidelines, power and restrooms.

A little about River Common

Settlers set aside the commons in 1769 for grazing livestock, and soldiers camped here during the Revolutionary War. The park was rebuilt between 2007 and 2010.
