WELCOMING WEDDING CEREMONIES FOR EVERY COUPLE
Your Love Story Belongs at the Center
Every couple deserves a wedding ceremony that feels natural, respectful and unmistakably their own. Since 2006, NY Marriages has had the privilege of standing beside couples throughout Long Island and New York City as they make a lifelong commitment to one another.
Your ceremony can be intimate or formal, traditional or modern, religious, spiritual or entirely non-religious. What matters most is that the words sound like you and honor the relationship you share.
A Ceremony That Sounds Like the Two of You
Some couples want a short ceremony with familiar wording. Others want their personalities, memories and hopes for the future woven throughout the moment. We begin with the style and feeling you want, then shape the ceremony around you.
Personal vows, readings, family participation, cultural traditions and meaningful rituals can all be incorporated without making the ceremony feel forced or overly scripted.
Experienced, Inclusive and Fully Present
Marriage equality is part of New York’s history, but your wedding day is about far more than a legal milestone. It is about the two people standing together, the promises being made and the people who have gathered to support them.
Having officiated many same-sex weddings, we understand the importance of language that feels comfortable, inclusive and true to your relationship. We bring preparation, professionalism and a calm presence to every ceremony.
From Simple Ceremonies to Fully Personalized Weddings
Whether you are planning an intimate Central Park ceremony, a celebration at a Long Island venue or a New York City wedding surrounded by family and friends, the ceremony can be adapted to your setting, guest count and preferred tone.
Couples who want a deeply personal ceremony may use our Couples Questionnaire to share the moments and qualities that define their relationship.
