Hotel Weddings
A heartfelt ceremony in the West Village
I’ve married lots and lots of ladies lately! I’ve also married lots of guys, but very few opted for professional photographers at all. J+G originally planned to marry on the High Line. They changed course, though. Instead, after taking some photos on and around the High Line, they exchanged very personal vows before a few […]
MoreTiny marriage ceremony in a hotel suite
Small ceremonies in hotel suites are great alternatives for those who prefer a private service away from prying eyes. They are also fantastic during cold or steamy hot temperatures, as well as when rain cascades. A+S married in the New York Palace. The Waldorf-Astoria and Roosevelt Hotels also offer lovely suites and beautiful niches throughout […]
MoreA Brit and Long Islander travel from the New York Palace to Grand Central to exchange wedding vows
Most of my couples who marry in Grand Central invite a few guests at most. Until T+D’s marriage ceremony there, I think my “largest wedding” in this beautiful terminal included just twenty guests or so. With a forewarning to thirty of their nearest and dearest about noise and chaos, though, T+D bravely married on a […]
MoreRenaissance Hotel 57 Wedding Ceremony
Curiously, despite officiating 500 weddings or so at this point, I had yet to be one of those celebrants who presided over a ceremony with an enormous wedding party with lots and lots of attendants. My very sweet and warm gay couple last night, though, forever altered that record. Nineteen of their closest family and […]
MoreTo upstate NY’s Mount Merino does this NYC celebrant go
Y+D, Match.com linked you in time and space. But you connected in the same way as long, lost friends do and fell in love in the same way as teen-agers do. You did not think it possible to suffer from “bouts of love arrhythmia and insomia” as adults, but you did—and continue to do so. […]
MoreTwo very cute guys and a waterfall ceremony (+Lincoln Center & Empire Hotel)
Segment from their ceremony: Caleb and Dennis, you are urban transplants. Having grown up in Michigan, you attended college at Lake Superior State University, where you met in 1987. It was a bit of a fateful meeting, as your connection became quickly apparent. You soon became the best of friends. Then this friendship transformed into […]
MoreFrom the New York Palace to Central Park: Classy Destination Wedding
This is the reading they selected: “I Will Be Here” by Steven Curtis Chapman: If in the morning when you wake, if the sun does not appear–I will be here. If in the dark we lose sight of love, hold my hand and have no fear–I will be here. I will be here when you […]
More“W” Hotel Wedding Ceremony (Union Square)
I adore officiating weddings in the “W” Hotel (Westin Hotel) at Union Square. John, the banquet manager, is a great guy. The staff is both friendly and perfectly able to orchestrate a wedding. And, most of all, I love the acoustics in the classically designed ballroom. I find that a microphone acts as an invisible […]
MoreRoosevelt Hotel Wedding
I met Ann and Joe of Nova Scotia for the first time on their wedding day. Having spoken to Ann on the phone, I knew we would get along easily. Together for years, they decided to exchange wedding vows and secure the public record (the marriage license) to make their union “official.” Given the prospect […]
