Anywhere your heart desires! We have married people on The Brooklyn Bridge, Grand Central Station, The Williamsburg Waterfront, The Highline, NYC Rooftops , The Roosevelt Island tram.

Something totally secluded and serene like a private garden or right smack on the Brooklyn bridge with loud cheers from dozens of well wishers.

Each ceremony is about 15 minutes and we send you your customized ceremony afterwards as a keepsake
