Jackie Reinking New York Wedding Officiant

The Bethesda Fountain Elopement of Elizabeth & Derek | A Central Park Ceremony

Elizabeth and Derek chose to have their elopement at the Bethesda Fountain in Central Park, creating an unforgettable, intimate ceremony. This day will forever remain etched in their memories. Furthermore, despite the typically bustling tourist presence, on this particular day, it seemed as though the fountain had reserved itself exclusively for the two of them. With no crowds around, the couple savored each other’s love, fully immersing themselves in the moment without any distractions.

In my role as an officiant, I always stress the importance of cherishing and embracing this special day. It is, after all, all about them. Elizabeth and Derek took this to heart, keeping their eyes locked onto each other throughout the entire ceremony. Witnessing such pure and undiluted love was truly heartwarming.

Both the bride and groom exuded a stunning presence, but it was Elizabeth who left everyone in awe. Her classic look and striking blue eyes added an elegant touch to the winter day in New York City. While the flowers did bring a perfect pop of color, they couldn’t quite match the radiance of Elizabeth’s eyes.

Following their Bethesda Fountain elopement, Elizabeth and Derek headed out for a photo shoot with Sascha Reinking Photography. They traversed the city in a vintage cab, making stops at iconic locations such as Grand Central Station and the NYC Subway. Inevitably, the resulting photographs expertly captured the essence of their wedding day, brimming with love, joy, and intimacy.

We are thrilled to have been a part of Elizabeth and Derek’s special day, and we wish them a lifetime of love and happiness together. Furthermore, please enjoy the photos that follow, and join us in congratulating this #TeamReinking couple.

✨ Happily Ever After Notes ✨

There’s nothing quite like receiving a note that warms the heart—and this one had us smiling from ear to ear! 💛 It’s such a joy to officiate weddings and sprinkle a little magic into each ceremony, making sure every moment feels personal, heartfelt, and completely unforgettable. ✨

"We were lucky enough to have Jackie Reinking as our celebrant for our elopement in Shakespeare Garden, Central Park, and she was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The ceremony she created for us was beautiful, heartfelt, and full of personal touches that truly meant something to us. We were both so emotional, and Jackie’s words made the moment unforgettable.

Her communication was excellent throughout – she was easy to work with, warm, and reassuring, which instantly put us at ease on the day. Her help with the legalities and paperwork was invaluable and took any of the stresses and strains away. Jackie made our wedding feel deeply meaningful and special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant. Thank you, Jackie, for giving us a ceremony we will treasure forever."

From heartfelt vows under the trees of Central Park 🌳 to tiny personal touches that make your day uniquely yours, creating unforgettable NYC elopements is my favorite kind of magic. 💍💫

📆 Weekly Series: “Elopement Myth Monday”

💥 Week 5: Elopements Are Just Budget Options
MYTH: Elopements are just the “cheap” wedding option.

Yes, eloping can be budget-friendly if you want it to be. But we’ve also seen elopements with designer gowns, luxe florals, a vintage car, and a stay at The Beekman Hotel.

🎯 The beauty of eloping? You choose where to spend your money.
No venue you don’t love. No 150 meals. Just the stuff that matters to you.

✨ Elopement = freedom, not limitations.
