Abso-frickin-lutely! If you’re planning an elopement ceremony with fewer than 20 guests, you do not technically need a permit to get married in an NYC park. However, we recommend you obtain one if you’d like to get married in a popular location.
If you plan on having more than 20 guests, you must file for a special event permit, which requires at least 30 days for processing and a $25 non-refundable processing fee.

Not to mention accurately completing the legal bits. Before you ask us for a reduced rate, please take into consideration the loving effort our small business puts into every wedding ceremony.

Yes, we most definitely do. We typically split the total into 2-4 payments depending on the chosen ceremony experience and your financial needs. Feel free to let us know if you’d like to split the payments further.
