FAQ's
Anywhere your heart desires! NYC is your venue, and we are here to guide you through the ins and outs and ups and downs of finding the perfect ceremony location for your wedding.
Three things: a license (USD 35), an officiant, and a witness. To receive your New York marriage license, you and your fiance must appear together at the City Clerk's office to file the application and present proof of age and identity. Acceptable ID is usually government-issued and includes a photograph; the most common forms of proof are a driver's license or passport. Please check out our comprehensive Guide to Marriage Liscences in NYC for more details.
Absolutely. You can add extra photography hours or any of our add-ons at any point in your planning process. We recommend that you book your package and secure your date. Planning is a process and a journey. You may think you only need a few hours of photos, and then down the road, realize that you want to do MORE cool shit on your wedding day. No problem, we got you. Once we start planning, absolutely anything is possible.
Every ceremony is unique and personal. Your officiant will send each of you a questionnaire with questions about you, how you met, your future plans, and your funny relationship stories. We weave that into an engaging, poetic, entertaining script. You can also choose any readings or cultural/spiritual traditions you want to include. Each ceremony is about 15 minutes and we'll send you a copy of your ceremony as an heirloom and a keepsake.
Yes. About 60% of our couples will have a micro-wedding. It's the best of both worlds: an intimate wedding with only your nearest and dearest. At Eloping is Fun, we work with couples with up to 40 guests. After 10 guests, we work with you more hands-on through one of our additional micro-wedding planning packages.
We offer a "simple" and a "deluxe" package. Our simple micro wedding planning package includes a specialized guest itinerary, an on-site producer, permits, and coordination for any other needs your group might have.
Our "deluxe" micro-wedding planning package is akin to working with a wedding planner (which does not exist for small weddings). We will spec out venues for you, get COIs, manage contracts, and book transportation and activities for your guests! Our deluxe micro planning service is a truly white glove service and one that will guarantee an impeccable day for both you and your guests.
You'll get a gorgeous online web gallery with all your edited images. You can order prints and download all the photographs from your wedding day in high resolution. Your photo gallery is ready within six weeks, with a sneak peek sent out within a week of your wedding.
