“Karla was caring, attentive, responsive, and facilitated a beautiful wedding ceremony for our elopement. As a queer couple, it was so important to have someone who would understand and celebrate queer love and joy, and Karla brought that energy more than we could have hoped for.”
— Daniella + Nick, 2025, Ladies Pavilion, Central Park
Once You Book Your City Hall Love Ceremony Experience
Ceremony Vision + Love Story Questionnaire
1.
We’ll send you a ceremony vision and love story questionnaire to complete together. We recommend you intentionally plan a date night to complete this questionnaire since you’ll get nostalgic reminiscing over your journey and feel even more connected to one another as you share your love and commitment with us. The more you share, the more we can include in your wedding ceremony.
Logistics + Follow-Up Questions
2.
Prior to your wedding day, we will confirm logistics and if we have additional questions based on your responses, we’ll email you for clarity or additional details.
Inspiration Strikes
3.
Once we review your responses, we’ll infuse your wedding ceremony with the stories, details, and ceremonial elements you’ve chosen. You’ll say “I DO”, exchange rings, share your own personal vows or your chosen repeat-after-me vows to round out your semi-personalized elopement ceremony.
Marriage License Guidance
4.
We’ll guide you in obtaining your NYC marriage license through New York City’s Project Cupid portal, remind you when it’s time to complete the application, and schedule your City Hall appointment. In fact, review our blog about it HERE.
Wedding Day
5.
We arrive at your elopement site or pre-determined meet-up location early, with your wedding permit (if applicable), and guide you towards your first day of married life!
Completion of Legalities
6.
We will accurately complete and promptly submit your marriage license to the correct City Clerk’s Office. We will send a scanned copy of your marriage license via email for our shared records. From there, the City Clerk will mail you your marriage certificate within 4-8 weeks, depending on the time of year your wedding took place.
“After just meeting and chatting a few times, she made us feel right at home day-of; she has an energy that made us feel more like friends than clients :')
We had no idea what we wanted going in, and Dani had so many fantastic suggestions for the ceremony that were so cute and intimate and heartfelt. Literally could not have asked for a better person to marry us.”
— Hayden + Juniper, 2025, Brooklyn Grange Sunset
