The New York City Elopement Team
For couples who want a beautifully guided New York City elopement with photography, officiating, planning help, legal guidance, flowers, beauty support, and a local team who knows how this all works.
We are Jackie & Sascha, a married NYC elopement team helping couples create personal, legal, joy-filled wedding days in New York City.
Some couples want the full All-In-One Collection. Others prefer to build a custom package with only the individual services they need.
Either way, we will help you find the right amount of support for your day.
Eloping in New York City can be beautifully simple.
Some couples come to us knowing exactly what they need: photography, an officiant, a witness, help with the marriage license, flowers, beauty, or guidance on where to go after the ceremony.
Others want one team to help shape the whole experience from beginning to end.
Both are completely valid.
Our All-In-One Elopement Collection is for couples who want the most guided version of the experience. It brings photography, officiating, planning help, legal guidance, flowers, beauty support, vendor coordination, and wedding day logistics into one connected package.
If you do not need the full collection, we can also help you build something more custom from our individual services.
There is no wrong version here. There is only the version that fits your day, your plans, and how much support you want from us.
Every elopement is a little different, so we will walk you through the full collection details after we know more about your date, guest count, location ideas, travel plans, and what kind of experience you are imagining.
Sascha photographs your wedding day in a relaxed, candid, and elegant way, from the ceremony and portraits to the real in-between moments that make the day feel like yours.
Jackie creates and performs a personal ceremony that feels like you. Not stiff. Not generic. Not a copy-and-paste script with your names dropped into the blanks.
We help shape the flow of the day so you know what happens, when it happens, and where you need to be.
We help you understand the New York marriage license process and what needs to happen before your ceremony and afterward.
Depending on your collection, we can help with flowers, hair and makeup, permit guidance, location recommendations, vendor coordination, transportation planning, and the small details that make the day feel smoother.
You can absolutely hire every vendor separately. That can work perfectly well for some couples.
But many couples choose our All-In-One Collection because they like the idea of one connected experience.
Your ceremony timing works with your photos. Your locations make sense with your timeline. Your officiant and photographer are already working together. Your vendor team is coordinated before the wedding day.
It is not about making your elopement bigger or more complicated.
It is about making it feel more connected.
Many couples start by searching for a “NYC City Hall wedding.” Totally normal.
But in New York City, civil ceremonies happen at the City Clerk’s Office, also known as the Marriage Bureau.
That can be the right choice for some couples. But it is not your only legal option.
With a valid New York marriage license and a registered officiant, you can have a legal ceremony in a location that feels more personal.
If the City Clerk’s Office is truly what you want, wonderful. But if you are choosing it only because you think it is the only simple way to get married in NYC, we can help you understand your options.
Send us your date, where you are traveling from, and any location ideas you already have.
We will talk through whether the All-In-One Collection makes sense, or whether a custom package with individual services would be a better fit.
We help think through the ceremony, photos, legal steps, timing, vendor needs, transportation, and the flow of the day.
Your ceremony is personal, legal, warm, and built around the two of you.
Sascha photographs the ceremony, portraits, movement through the city, candid moments, details, and the feeling of being newly married in New York.
A real wedding day. A legal ceremony. Beautiful photos. A city you love. And the right amount of help around you.
We are not a booking platform. We are not a vendor directory. We are not sending whoever happens to be available that morning.
We are Jackie & Sascha: a married photography and officiant team helping couples get legally married in New York City with more ease, personality, and joy.
Your elopement does not need to feel like a production to be beautiful.
Some of the best moments happen while walking down the street, fixing a boutonniere, laughing while having a slice of pizza, holding hands before the ceremony, or realizing that yes, you really did just get married in New York City.
This is where the city becomes part of the story.
Our All-In-One Collection is not meant to be a one-size-fits-all checkout button.
Every elopement has its own mix of date, location, guest count, legal needs, timing, travel plans, and wedding day priorities.
Once we know what you are imagining, we will walk you through the full collection details and help you figure out whether the All-In-One Collection or a custom package is the right fit.
An all-inclusive NYC elopement package can include photography, officiating, planning help, timeline guidance, marriage license support, ceremony design, flowers, hair and makeup, permit guidance, vendor coordination, and support before, during, and after the wedding day.
No. The All-In-One Collection is our most guided experience, but couples can also build a custom package with individual services.
Yes. If you have a valid New York marriage license and your ceremony is performed by a registered officiant, you can legally get married outside the City Clerk’s Office in New York City.
They can, yes. Jackie and Sascha work together as an officiant and photographer team, but if you only need one of those services, we can talk about that too.
Yes. We help couples understand the New York marriage license process, what needs to happen before the ceremony, and what needs to happen afterward.
Yes. International couples can legally marry in New York City. Depending on your home country, you may need additional documents after the wedding, and we can guide you through what to expect.
Popular elopement locations include Central Park, DUMBO, Brooklyn Bridge Park, hotel suites, rooftops, restaurants, waterfront parks, and meaningful neighborhood locations around the city.
It depends on the location. Some parks and venues require or recommend permits, especially for ceremonies, larger groups, or specific locations.
As soon as you have a date or a general timeframe. You do not need to have every detail figured out before reaching out.

Congrats to Meryl & John, who found the perfect way to make their NYC elopement completely their own. 💍
They chose The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the very place where they had their first date, as the backdrop for their wedding day.
Photos at The Met? Absolutely. A wedding ceremony? Let’s just say that’s a little more under the radar. 😉
So we found a quiet spot, tied the knot, and then spent the rest of the day wandering through the museum, taking photos, taking in the art, and revisiting the place where their story first began.
A little bit of adventure, a little bit of sneaking around, and a whole lot of love. 🖤
Your elopement doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. If you’re dreaming of an NYC wedding that feels a little different, a little personal, and completely your own, make it fun, make it yours, and let #TeamReinking come along for the adventure. 💍

Christin & Sebastian 🇩🇪 → Married at Cop Cot in Central Park by Team Reinking. Welcome to our selfie family album 📸✨
From Germany to New York City, Christin & Sebastian found a beautiful little corner of Central Park for their “I do.” Cop Cot has that tucked-away, woodland feel that makes you forget you’re right in the middle of Manhattan. Such a beautiful spot for a NYC wedding day. 🖤
And of course, we had to get the selfie. 📸
It’s our little tradition with every couple, and we love having these snapshots of the people and memories that become part of the Team Reinking story.
Planning your own NYC “I do”? We’d love to help you find the right spot and make the whole experience fun from start to finish. 💍

POV: You elope at your favorite NYC wine bar 🍷✨”
For local cool cats Dede and Rachel, their day was a love letter to the LES!
We started with some intimate portraits in their own stomping grounds, capturing the vibrant spirit of the Lower East Side neighborhood they call home. Then, we headed to Convive Wine Shop, their absolute favorite local wine bar, to meet their family and friends. After they shared their vows surrounded by rows of beautiful vintages, they ended the ceremony with a kiss and a champagne toast.
Honestly, the emotion was palpable; Rachel was teary and bouncing with joy through the whole ceremony because she just could not wait to be married to her best friend. Dede even surprised Rachel with a brand new wedding ring right in the middle of the ceremony, which was such an incredibly special moment to witness!
As a husband and wife team, we handle every detail of your perfect New York elopement. From expert NYC wedding officiating and professional elopement photography to complete all-in-one packages, we ensure your day is entirely stress-free.
Congratulations, Dede & Rachel! Thank you for letting us be part of your beautiful NYC adventure.

From Germany to the heart of New York City! ✈️🗽 We had the absolute best time bringing Danica and Philip’s dream destination elopement to life.
Their day was the perfect NYC love story! We started with an intimate ceremony at Central Park’s Hernshead Rock. Surrounded by their favorite people, they popped champagne by the water while Jackie officiated their “I dos” and Sascha captured every joyful tear.
Then, it was time to hit the streets! 🚕 From rocking sunglasses and stealing kisses among iconic yellow cabs, to an artistic, quiet moment inside the terminal, he flawlessly captured their vibrant energy in the concrete jungle. Honestly, their confidence in those crosswalks was iconic; they treated the city like their own personal runway!
As a husband and wife wedding duo, Team Reinking, we specialize in making these destination elopements entirely stress-free. You get one seamless experience through every single milestone.
Congratulations, Danica & Philip! Thank you for trusting us with your beautiful NYC adventure. ❤️

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. 🥰
