FAQs.
Do we need witnesses for our New York elopement?
Ensuring your New York elopement is legally recognized involves obtaining a marriage license from any city or town clerk's office in the state. You will need to bring valid identification for both partners and pay the required fee, which typically ranges from $40 to $60. New York law mandates that at least one witness be present during the ceremony. Our team will guide you through the process and assist with any additional steps to ensure your union is official and valid.
What if we decide that we want more guests?
In that case, you'll contact your dedicated planner as soon as possible and let them know. If you just want to bring 1-2 additional guests, most venues will be able to accommodate that. If you're interested in a significantly larger wedding, you may have to change venues.
