Free outdoor wedding site reopens on Namsan

An outdoor wedding site reopened on Mar. 1 in the fountain square in front of the botanical garden in Seoul`s Namsan Park. It will remain open for free public use until Nov. 15.

Namsan Park authorities have been making the site available to local residents and foreign tourists since 1996.

The site provides newlyweds with broadcast facilities, chairs, platform and floral arch for no charge. The fountain is turned on when the bride and groom enter the site. If it rains, the auditorium at the Seoul Education and Science Research Institute next to the outdoor wedding site is offered instead.

Applications to use the site must be made no later than one month before the wedding day. Booking is on a first come, first served basis. For more information, call 753-5576, 2593.
