Getting Married in New York

Getting married in New York is incredibly romantic. If you’re planning your wedding in New York, there are a number of things to consider. Especially if you intend to elope in NYC. You can celebrate this special day in multiple ways, along with one of the many romantic activities in New York.

Getting Married in NYC

If you want to get married in New York, you need a ‘Marriage License’. This marriage licence is a legal document issued by the State of New York prior to the marriage. With this document, the State of New York authorises the marriage. The marriage itself must be performed by a wedding officiant, a person who has the authorisation to marry people in New York. You can also get married in the Office of the City Clerk.

If you get married in New York, you will receive your Marriage Certificate. You don’t need to register your marriage in Canada, though. Your marriage will be legal and recognised back home if you followed the correct US legal process and your marriage would also be allowed under Canadian law.

Marriage Proposal in New York

There are plenty of romantic spots in New York that are perfect for a proposal. Get down on one knee on the Bow Bridge in Central Park, for example. You also can book a photoshoot in Central Park to capture this special moment. You can message the photographer beforehand to discuss the time and exact location.

Another option is on one of New York’s observation decks. With stunning views of the city as the backdrop, it’s a moment you won’t forget anytime soon. You can also pop the question to your partner on the water. You could enjoy the food and stunning views of the Manhattan skyline on the luxurious Bateaux Dinner Cruise.

A Romantic Day in New York

A romantic day in New York is something you should experience together with your partner. From personal experience, I can recommend the spa on Governors Island. You can enjoy more than 20 wellness experiences along with the views of Manhattan there.

Or go for an unforgettable experience, such as a helicopter flight over New York. Do you want to add a touch of luxury to your day when admiring the views from above? Together with your significant other, you can book a private helicopter tour in New York and soar over the city skyline with your very own pilot. What could be more romantic than that?
