New York City & New Jersey
Central Park is our home turf — but we travel. Alexandra officiates weddings in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island, and in New Jersey: parks, rooftops, backyards, restaurants — wherever your story takes you.
Need just an officiant? Officiant-only services start at $400. Planning the whole elopement? Our packages bundle the officiant with photography, permits and vendor referrals.
Eloping in New Jersey? We come to you.
You don't have to cross the river for the Knot by the Sea experience. Alexandra marries couples all across northern New Jersey — the same stress-free planning, the same heartfelt ceremony, the same photography by Joan.
You pick the spot: the Hoboken piers with the Manhattan skyline behind you, a quiet park in Essex County, or the cliffs of the Palisades. We tailor our elopement packages to New Jersey — officiant, photography, and the paperwork, including your NJ marriage-license logistics.
A few of our favorite New Jersey spots: Pier A Park in Hoboken, Liberty State Park, Eagle Rock Reservation, Verona Park.
Quick Answers Before You Ask
How do we get our marriage license in New York?
Apply together at the City Clerk's office — or start online through Project Cupid — at least 24 hours before the ceremony, then bring the license to your wedding and we'll take care of the rest. Our NYC marriage license FAQ walks you through fees, documents and timing, step by step.
What should we ask our officiant before booking?
Ask about experience with ceremonies like yours, how they personalize the script, and what happens if plans change. We put together the exact questions to ask your officiant — steal the list.
Can our ceremony be bilingual?
Absolutely — most of our ceremonies weave English and Spanish together so every guest feels every word. See the ceremony styles we perform.
Do we need a permit to get married in Central Park?
For a small, simple ceremony — no setup, no chairs — usually not. Our Central Park wedding guide explains exactly when a permit is needed and how we handle it for you.
Can you marry us outside Central Park?
Yes — Alexandra officiates across the five boroughs and in New Jersey: rooftops, restaurants, backyards and venues. And if you'd like photography too, our Central Park elopement packages bundle it all together.
