  • Yes, we are primarily registered in NYC and Boston. Our ordination also allows us to legally officiate ceremonies in states like New Jersey that don’t require state registration.

  • Yes, we received our ordination from American Marriage Ministries and United Life Church.

  • You’ll want to contact us as soon as you secure your wedding date. Fridays and Saturdays tend to be the first weekend dates we fill each year so definitely reach out to us sooner rather than later.

  • Definitely! Our fave part of wedding ceremonies are your VOWS and we will absolutely hold space for this sentimental moment in your ceremony. We are 100% down to support you in writing and editing your vows.

  • Of course you can and there are many high-touch and low-touch ways to include your loved ones depending on their comfort level and your ceremony vision. From collective vows and readings to ring warmings and community sing-a-longs, we can discuss what fits best for your ceremony vision! CLICK HERE to get an idea.

  • 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.

  • Yes, we love vow renewals! It’s so meaningful to us when couples choose to reaffirm their love and commitment to one another. ALL THE AWWS!! Our rates remain the same as our labor of love is centered on preparing and writing your ceremony.

  • What may seem like a simple 20-minute ceremony includes hours of getting to know you, taking notes, thoughtfully writing and editing your ceremony, traveling to your chosen ceremony space, and communicating with vendors and/or loved ones. 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.
