Let’s run away

Maybe you have already heard the term Elopement Wedding, especially more recently when it has gained some popularity; but do you know where this word comes from?

The term Elopement (without the wedding part) originates around 1338 and was used to describe a woman who left her husband to run away with her lover. Yes, exactly as we are telling it.

A few centuries later, the word lost this specific connotation and started to be used to describe couples getting married in secret.

In 1753, the concept evolved close to the meaning it has now as a consequence of the Marriage Act of 1753— in England. According to that law, people under 21 years old needed their parent’s permission to get married. By then, it was a common practice that parents wanted their daughters to marry what they considered a “good candidate”— mainly for economic reasons. The young girl had no say and basically couldn’t do anything to avoid it. Picture something like The Bridgerton, but a century earlier and a lot less glamorous.

If the poor thing was already in love with someone else is normal to think that the best way to be with her real love was running away with him to another place where the law wasn’t that rigid. At that moment, that place was Scotland, so the first Elopement weddings were celebrated in that country.

Even now, Gretna Green, a southern Scottish town on the border with England, is famous as an Elopement Weddings destination, as well as popular and coveted, and it hosts more than 5,000 weddings each year; the town even has a waiting list.

Now in the present, an Elopement Wedding is basically a wedding with just the couple or a small group.

Think about Las Vegas— the couple decided to tie the knot more fluidly in a micro-wedding or a minimalist wedding with all the essentials but without complications.

 

So, if you and your couple want to “run away” from conventionalism, focus on what is important and beautiful, and wish your wedding to be a very special one— we are here for you!

How to apply for a marriage license in New York [step by step]

One of the most stressful points generated when planning a getaway wedding in New York is getting a marriage license.

In the city that never sleeps, you need to have an official document that the state grants in order to get married.

Many people think that getting a marriage license in New York is somewhat complicated, but in reality, it is much simpler than it seems, you just need to know what the requirements are and follow a few simple steps.

If you have the requirements that the state of New York asks from you to get a marriage license, then getting it truly becomes a walk in the park.

What is a Marriage License?

Every couple who wants to have a wedding in New York needs a marriage license.

It’s basically the New York government’s way of making sure that people getting married know each other, and no one is forcing them to do so.

Likewise, the certificate allows you to identify that both people are of legal age, and can be considered some sort of marriage tax since it has a cost that you have to pay to the town hall.

After you get your marriage license in New York, you have 60 days to have your wedding.

It does not have to be a conventional wedding, it can be a Pop Up wedding or a micro wedding, the only requirement that is completely necessary is that the wedding must be in New York.

Marriage licenses you get in the state of New York can only be used within the state.

What Do I Need to Get a Marriage License in New York?

The Marriage license in New York has a cost of 35$ and has to be paid before a public city clerk.

You can pay in cash or online. In order to obtain it you have to follow these steps:

  • You have to make an appointment online through this following link.
  • Once you have completed the online Scheduling process, you and your partner must show up  (either virtually or in person) before a City Hall representative. For this appointment, both have to show up at the same time.
  • When the process before the town hall is finished, your marriage license application will be processed.
  • You have to review all the information that the marriage license includes just to make sure that everything is correct.
  • At the time the license is in your hands, you have to wait 24 hours before being able to carry out the wedding.

What Information is Needed to Obtain a Marriage License in New York?

At the time of signing the marriage license in New York, they will also be offered the option to change their maiden name, in case they want to change their current last name to a new one to celebrate their union.

Pop Up weddings in New York allow you to focus only on the little details, at the end of the day those little details are the ones that matter the most.

But… What exactly is a Pop Up wedding?

A Pop Up wedding is a new trend in wedding celebrations.

It basically takes the intimate wedding concept and transforms it into something even more immediate but totally unique and memorable.

The term originated in Portugal but has moved to other places around the world.

How to plan your wedding on a budget in New York City

Having a limited budget for your wedding doesn’t mean you can’t have a big day with everything you’ve always dreamed of.

A trend that is becoming more and more present in our culture is the one of having micro weddings, especially in New York City.

We understand nobody has time to waste on endless planning and spending. These intimate elopement ceremonies are attended only by the couple’s closest family and friends.

An intimate wedding allows you to save costs on unnecessary things, while it still remains the fairytale experience you deserve.

A micro wedding in New York City doesn’t mean having to give up enjoying an all-inclusive wedding. You can still have a professional wedding photographer, a pre-designed and decorated space with fragrant flower arrangements, the most innovative locations, and the best professionals in the market. The only difference between this unconventional wedding style is that the guest list is much smaller in comparison to the big wedding banquets you may see on other occasions, and all the planning and designing is left in the hands of professionals. 

If you think about it for a second, one of the biggest expenses when it comes to wedding planning is the guests. If you have many guests on your special day, the cost of catering and venue can increase exponentially with each guest. This is something many people think is unavoidable, that you must invite everyone who has been a part of both couple’s lives to celebrate this special moment in your life.

However, the trend of pop up weddings ceremonies on the east coast has shown us that the reality is far from it, you don’t need months of planning or hundreds of guests to have a dream wedding.

Special Moments Require Special People

Do you really want to have more than 300 people at your wedding?

This question might seem a little strange, but consider the most important moments in your life. Who was there with you? The fact is that your wedding day is one of the most important and special moments you will ever experience, so you should only share it with those who you really want to have by your side in the long run, and not with a large number of people you will probably never see again after your wedding day.

Micro weddings in New York City give you the freedom to invite only those you really care about, and on top of that, it makes the whole celebration a much more exclusive and intimate event. By not having so many guests, you can spend a lot more of your budget on things you wouldn’t probably have considered.

Having an intimate wedding ceremony allows that money that you won’t spend on feeding your guests to be invested in things like a DJ and master of ceremonies, or renting a photo booth to create a cozier and more private atmosphere that will stick on your memory and your guests.

We believe your wedding should be memorable. This is undeniably one of the best qualities of a Pop Up Wedding.

When you look back on those special moments, you will always have in your thoughts those people you love with you, you will have closer memories, longer lasting conversations, for instance. Instead of remembering your high school classmates making inappropriate jokes about how marriage was a prison, you will remember that now you make your own rules and decide to focus on what really matters.

At the end of the day, the decision is yours, but remember that even if it’s an unconventional wedding, pop up weddings in New York give you the freedom to live one of the most special moments in your life, next to the people you really love, without worrying about anything else.

Let our expert team of photographers, florists, caterers & officiants wow you with world class service so you can have a memorable and non-stressful wedding day.
