About

Going to the Justice of the Peace to get hitched has come a long way from the days of the “no frills” quickie ceremonies at NYC’s City Hall. The new marriage bureau located at 141 Worth Street is only one block away from the old City Hall and received a major renovation in 2009 making it a much more attractive option for couples who want to elope. The new renovations include marble pillars, floor to ceiling mirrors and electronic boards letting you know when it’s your turn. Our photography elopement packages are the perfect option for couples tying the knot at City Hall. Starting at a much lower rate than the full day package (1 hour of photography starts at $499) add in your marriage license ($35) and civil ceremony ($25) fees and you could elope in NYC for a fraction of the cost of a typical New York wedding!

What you will love about it

Simplicity: Couples love the simplicity and efficiency of getting married at City Hall, which offers a streamlined process that eliminates the need for extensive planning and large budget.

Intimate: The intimate and personal nature of the ceremony allows for a focus on the couple’s commitment, often resulting in a meaningful and heartfelt experience without the typical wedding-day stress.

Insider tips

The ceremony is pretty brief, so consider bringing along personal touches, like a small bouquet or a special reading, to make the experience more memorable and uniquely yours.
