Our fearless leader in New York State, Governor Andrew Cuomo, recently signed an executive order giving couples permission to have a virtual wedding. Tying the knot will now be doable over the computer. And while some of you might be asking yourselves why anyone would ever consider a virtual wedding, I’m so excited about this...
It felt like a good day to offer my best wedding day advice to ‘Take in the Moments’ because today is the third wedding anniversary of my brother, Jamie and my now brother-in-law, Darren. During the actual wedding ceremony but before announcing them married, I remind all couples to take a moment and truly take...
As a NYC officiant, I have seen all types of complicated advice on how to write your own vows but in my world, I want to help you make it fun and as easy as possible. Jackie, where do we start? Most couples feel too much pressure to make their vows perfect! You want the impact of...
Are you wondering if you should elope in New York or continuing planning your big wedding at home? So many of our couples come to us after struggling with the same question. Somewhere along the way couples realize they want the focus for their wedding day to be an intimate, special moment that’s just about...
Ashley & Joshua’s Cop Cot Elopement in Central Park. It was a chilly, gray and rainy morning on April 9, 2016 as I made my way up the hill to the Cop Cot to greet the groom Josh and the couple’s families. However, I knew the moment I was greeted by Josh’s smile this wedding...
Rainy NYC Weddings are perfect! What does a homeless man sleeping on a bench in Central Park, an NYPD police escort and rainy NYC weddings have in common? Oh, just setting the stage for Nicky and Craig’s Summer ceremony. The morning started slightly uncertain because the sideways rain kept forcing us to push the start...
Here’s the thing, most weddings are about the words and the tears but others are about the love within the details. When approaching the Cop Cot in Central Park for their ceremony, arm in arm with her Dad, Laura was one of my quiet brides but every inch of her shined with detail and thought for Robert....
A New York City Winter wedding has a special place in my heart. I remember it being cold, no F-R-E-E-Z-I-N-G, the morning of Thursday, February 26th as Sascha and I approached the High Line Park stairs at 23rd street. The sharp wind blew through my hat and scarf as we searched for our newlyweds to...
I met Marie Antoinette today. Actually I performed a New York City elopement between my own personal Marie Antoinette, as announced, and her professional motorcycle driver. I can’t make this story up. It was a cold day in NYC but this wedding was going to take place in the front room of a suite at...

POV: You elope at your favorite NYC wine bar 🍷✨"
For local cool cats Dede and Rachel, their day was a love letter to the LES!
We started with some intimate portraits in their own stomping grounds, capturing the vibrant spirit of the Lower East Side neighborhood they call home. Then, we headed to Convive Wine Shop, their absolute favorite local wine bar, to meet their family and friends. After they shared their vows surrounded by rows of beautiful vintages, they ended the ceremony with a kiss and a champagne toast.
Honestly, the emotion was palpable; Rachel was teary and bouncing with joy through the whole ceremony because she just could not wait to be married to her best friend. Dede even surprised Rachel with a brand new wedding ring right in the middle of the ceremony, which was such an incredibly special moment to witness!
As a husband and wife team, we handle every detail of your perfect New York elopement. From expert NYC wedding officiating and professional elopement photography to complete all-in-one packages, we ensure your day is entirely stress-free.
Congratulations, Dede & Rachel! Thank you for letting us be part of your beautiful NYC adventure.

Jasmin & Mauritz 🇩🇪 → Married at a private hidden waterfront spot in Central Park by Team Reinking. Welcome to our selfie family album 📸✨
Traveling from Germany to New York City, they chose a quiet corner of Central Park where the water, the trees, and the city seemed to disappear for a moment. It was intimate, peaceful, and perfectly them 🖤

This is literally what happens every single time I officiate a wedding and I am NOT sorry about it. 😂
We sign the license, someone pops the champagne, and before you know it we’re all screaming by the water like we just won the Super Bowl.
This is my job. This is my LIFE. And I would not change a single thing. 🙌💍
If you want someone who’s going to hype you up just as hard on your wedding day — my DMs are wide open, babe. Let’s make magic.
👇 Drop some LOVE if you think ALL weddings should end like this!

A beautiful NYC love story right in their own neighborhood. A private little corner of Central Park, just steps from their Upper West Side home, made the perfect place to say “I do” 🖤
Every selfie is a little reminder of the amazing people we meet and the moments we get to share along the way.
No two NYC weddings are the same, and that’s the magic of creating a day that feels completely yours. 💍
