NYC City Clerk Wedding

New York City Courthouse Wedding

Joe + Marie

Marie and Joe decided to get married at the New York City City Clerk's Office located at 141 Worth St. They began by obtaining a marriage license from the City Clerk's Office, filling out the application online, and presenting their valid identifications in person. Once they had their marriage license, they scheduled an appointment at the office, either online or by phone.

On the day of their appointment, they arrived at the City Clerk's Office early, ensuring they had all necessary documentation in hand. With their marriage license, identifications, and other required paperwork ready, they proceeded to the designated area for the marriage ceremony, accompanied by their beloved dog.

During the ceremony, officiated by a city clerk, Marie and Joe exchanged vows and rings. They had the option to personalize their vows or choose from standard options provided by the city clerk. After the exchange, they, along with their witnesses if required, signed the marriage license, with the city clerk also signing to finalize the marriage legally.

Following the ceremony, Marie and Joe received their marriage certificate from the City Clerk's Office, which served as legal proof of their union. With the formalities completed, they celebrated their marriage in whatever way they saw fit, whether it was with a small gathering, a dinner with family and friends, or a special outing with their dog.

Throughout the process, Marie and Joe ensured they followed the specific requirements and procedures of the New York City City Clerk's Office to ensure everything went smoothly.

City hall weddings will always have a place in my heart for their simplicity. Some of the couples who choose this option still host a larger celebration, while others are just happy to get a couple handfuls of friends and family together to enjoy a night on the town. It doesn’t even have to be New York City to enjoy that kind of intimate celebration. It’s the same kind of vibe of hosting a dinner party at your home.

When Heather and I lived in New York we didn’t tap into our love of hosting yet. I guess we were too busy taking care of people at our respective bars while pursuing our college degrees. It wasn’t until we moved to Colorado that we started putting together curated dinners where we would invite people who didn’t know each other to meet and share a meal. There was something wonderfully simple about it. I know a lot of people who get anxious at the idea of company, but I remember one particular dinner of ours when we didn’t have enough silverware for everyone! Instead of feeling ashamed we just asked the couples at the table to share. That has since become the dinner our friends talk about the most often.

And that’s the beautiful thing about focusing on the people rather than the things—whether we’re talking about a wedding or a dinner party. The right people can make anything work, but the right things might not meet expectations. It takes a good partnership to arrive at good decisions, big and small, the first of which is commonly either a big move or planning a wedding. It’s kind of like the “take a road trip” test with someone you’ve been dating except times 1000. Ever since we hosted that first dinner party we’ve never looked back at any of our decisions—instead—we pass the fork back to one another when we share a meal. It brings us back to that party and always brings us closer together.
