Hi, we are Jackie & Sascha!
Jackie (she/her) & Sascha (he/him)
If you are here, you are probably not just looking for someone to take photos or show up with a script.
You are looking for real people you actually feel good around.
Well…you found them. We are Jackie & Sascha, your New York City elopement team.
A little obsessive when it comes to the details, very calm when things get chaotic, and occasionally…a bit ridiculous.
We are Disney-level excited about love stories, celebrate Christmas like it is a personality trait, and yes…we are absolutely those people who will ask to see photos of your dog.
But more importantly, we care. Like, really care.
We have helped more than 1,200 couples get married in New York City, and every single one of them showed up with a different story, different priorities, and a different idea of what this day should feel like. Our job is to help you figure out yours and make it actually happen.
So what does that look like?
It means knowing where to go and when, without turning your day into a checklist.
It means having a plan that feels natural, not forced.
It means being able to just be present, because someone else is quietly taking care of everything in the background.
And yes…probably laughing a lot more than you expected.
From the moment you decide New York is your place, we are in it with you.
Helping, guiding, fixing things behind the scenes, handing you snacks when needed, and making sure you can actually enjoy what you came here for.
There is no one right way to do this.
But there is your way.
And we will make sure it feels exactly like that.
Just a really good day in New York City.
We are in your corner. We got you.

We’ve organized 1,200+ weddings in NYC. But don’t let that fool you into thinking all elopements in New York are the same. Each and every elopement has been different because ... drum roll please… so are you!

So let us take the pressure off and answer the burning questions up front. Start with our page about "How to get married in New York City" and let the adventure begin.
For many couples choosing to elope in NYC, it may be their first time in the city.

"Sascha was super helpful during the arrangements of our day. He made us feel relaxed and at ease instantly. Jackie's attention to the details of our day was second to none. She took the time to get an idea of who we are as a couple, to help shape our wedding into something that fit us perfectly.

20 years!!
7,305 days.
175,320 hours.
10,519,200 minutes.
And around 631 million seconds of putting up with each other.
Today, exactly 20 years ago, I married my best friend. And I had no idea what the next 20 years would bring.
I love Jackie more today than ever. Which says a lot, because I already liked her quite a bit before. She is my best friend, my business partner, my favorite person to do absolutely nothing with, and somehow the only human alive who can handle my grumpy moods. No really, that alone should win her an award or something.
When we met, I was still an architect and Jackie was a musical theater actor. Neither of us could have imagined that 20 years later we would be running our own wedding business together, celebrating love for a living, and helping over 1,200 couples create their own love stories.
We literally spend all our time together. Business, travel, life...and I still wake up every day wanting more of it. That is either true love or early signs of insanity. Probably both.
And to think it all started when I walked down the stairs at Bethesda Terrace and saw her sitting by the fountain…in those ugly pink pants. (Yes, they were that bad. Whole nother story. Ask me about it sometime.)
Twenty years later, we have built this wild, beautiful, unpredictable life together. There have been plot twists, bad haircuts, flight delays, lost luggage, and a whole lot of laughter. And I would not trade a single second of it.
Here is to the next 20 years of chaos, love, and whatever else we get ourselves into. ❤️
If you made it to the end of this post, tell us how we know and met you. Because guess what…you are part of our story too. And we want to hear about it. Thank you for being an integral part of Team Reinking.

Couples always ask me what happens if it rains on their wedding day. And my answer always is: “Then we will have fun in the rain!!”. 🥰

Sarah and Felix flew in from Germany, eloped in Central Park, and timed it perfectly with peak cherry blossoms. We started at the Ladies Pavilion with Jackie doing her thing, then wandered through the park like it was all theirs. Bethesda Terrace gave us drama, flowers gave us softness, and New York did what New York does best. Pure elopement gold.

From LIC to the Connecticut coast. We go way back with Artemis from our former life in Long Island City, so it meant the world when she asked us to be part of her and Mike’s commitment ceremony. Their celebration took us out of New York and onto a beautiful beach in Connecticut. Just the right place for a day filled with love, laughter, and a whole lot of joy. 🥰

Josie & Roman didn’t just elope - they made it a full-on adventure! 🎉✨ From saying “I do” at the iconic Ladies Pavilion to exploring Central Park and hitting the Brooklyn waterfront for more epic photos, these two did their wedding THEIR way.

A magazine wrote an article about ‘Team Reinking’ and picked some photos they wanted to publish. Fun to see these photos. Some are quite a bust from the past. :) Do you have a favorite?
