“Jessica was our wedding officiant, and she was just amazing! As all couples know, before the wedding there are a lot of planning and questions; we did too, and Jessica was there to put us at ease with our decisions.”

“Simple Marriages was exactly as the name suggests….extremely easy for the customer. Ryan was our officiant and helped us pick out a wonderful spot for the ceremony and suggested numerous options for the day. He made the ceremony memorable and unforgettable. He put us at ease with our decisions. I highly recommend this company, especially Ryan!”

Simply Legal. Simply Done.
Getting married in Brooklyn, Queens, or across the NYC boroughs should be a breathtaking experience, completely free of bureaucratic stress. Unlike New Jersey, the State of New York enforces a mandatory 24-hour waiting period from the moment you obtain your marriage license at the City Clerk’s office.
Whether you choose a streamlined Simply Legal signing or a fully personalized Signature Elopement in a historic city park, our family-led team ensures your paperwork is flawlessly executed according to specific City of New York guidelines. We serve as your local Brooklyn & Queens Wedding Officiant team, mapping out the best New York City Elopement Packages to ensure your wedding day is easy, memorable, and official.
⚠️ Local Expert Note: Most intimate elopements (under 20 guests) in public spaces like Brooklyn Bridge Park, Astoria Park, or Flushing Meadows do not require a special events permit. However, for larger gatherings or specific permitted zones, an application must be filed with the NYC Parks Department at least 21 to 30 days in advance. Our team will help you navigate these local guidelines seamlessly.
