The Details That Make the Ceremony Yours

NY Marriages Couples Questionnaire

Friends and family often tell us that the ceremony sounds as though we have known the couple for years. The questionnaire helps make that possible by giving us each partner’s perspective, the details behind the relationship and the tone that should guide the final ceremony.

N/A Is Completely FineIf a question does not apply to your relationship, enter “N/A” rather than forcing an answer.
Honesty HelpsThe questions are designed to help us understand the real people behind the couple.
Different Answers Are UsefulYour perspectives do not need to match. The differences often reveal what makes the relationship work.

Why the Couples Questionnaire Matters

A personalized ceremony is not created by dropping names into a template. Your answers help us understand how you met, what you value in one another, the experiences that shaped the relationship and the balance between humor, warmth and formality that feels right for you.

Couples Questionnaire FAQs

Do we need to answer every question?

No. If something does not apply, enter “N/A” and continue. A forced answer is less useful than an honest one.

What if our answers are different?

That is completely fine. Different perspectives often reveal the balance, humor and personality within the relationship.

How detailed should our responses be?

Specific memories and examples are more helpful than trying to write perfectly. Give us the details that sound like you.

How are our responses used?

They help NY Marriages understand your story, preferred tone and ceremony priorities before the wording is prepared.
