The New York City Elopement Team
REAL PEOPLE //
SLIGHTLY OBSESSED WITH LOVE STORIES //
YOUR NYC ELOPEMENT TEAM //
My adventure begins in a tiny village in the northwest of Germany. I know what you’re thinking – how on earth did I end up capturing elopements in the Big Apple then? Before I turned 30 the city had stolen my heart, after I arrived for an internship in Soho. In the beginning, I worked in architecture by day and studied photography by night. Now, I blend the best of both to create unrivalled backdrops for my couples eloping in New York City. Emotion, atmosphere, authenticity…that is what I care about. And I have been doing this for over 15 years now.

What if the person who married you, on your most memorable day, in the best city in the world was a mix of your best friend, a shoulder to lean on, a kick-ass professional, and on top of that... plain hilarious? Sounds pretty great, right? Well, congratulations, you found your dream officiant! I was born in in Kansas but grew up in Portland, Oregon. New York City became home when I studied for my Bachelor in Musical Theatre. I have been marrying happy couples for the last 10 years now.

My name is Lucy and not only am I the mastermind behind this entire operation (not really ;)), I am also the only real New Yorker in this bunch.
When I am not in school, you will usually find me spending time with my friends, somewhere between musical theater rehearsals and taking photos (clearly influenced by both of my parents). I still love anything creative, especially when it involves storytelling.
And yes…just like the rest of my family, I am completely obsessed with Christmas and everything Disney.

Dexter was a rock and one of the founding members of Team Reinking. In March of 2022, after a long, wonderful, fulfilled life, Dexter crossed the rainbow bridge at the age of 16. He was our favorite hello and our hardest goodbye.
We are Walter and Pippa, the official chaos coordinators of Team Reinking.
I, Walter, joined the family in 2023 (yes, Dexter sent me), and together with my sister Pippa, a rescue and the newest addition to the team, we make sure things stay interesting around here.
We specialize in sock destruction, snack negotiations, and making sure no one takes life too seriously.
This is not just about getting married in New York City.
It is about how that day feels.
Because let’s be honest…New York can feel like a lot at first.
The options, the logistics, the “where do we even start?”
That is where we come in.
We help you cut through all of that and turn it into something simple, personal, and actually enjoyable.
A day that feels like you, not like something you are supposed to do.
We have guided more than 1,200 couples through this process, and every single one has done it a little differently.Because every couple brings their own story, their own priorities, and their own idea of what this day should be.
What matters to you, matters to us. And we will do everything we can to make sure your experience reflects exactly that.
Uncomplicated. Personal. And a lot more fun than you expected.
And just so we are clear: Everyone is welcome here. Always.
A British born, die-hard New Yorker, by the way of Australia, London & San Francisco. Growing up around a grandma who worked in hair & makeup, she had the bug at an early age. So, after a decade in business, she took the leap and set up her own company in New York, specializing in bridal. Fast forward another 10 years and she has never looked back!

Barbara was born in Argentina, but spent her early childhood growing up in Texas, making her bilingual by the age of one. Pretty impressive, right? She moved to New York City over six years ago, falling in love with every part of the Big Apple. Barbara feels honored to be a part of every couple’s special day as an officiant. She loves to share part of her Spanish roots.

Married at Wagner Cove in Central Park by #TeamReinking. Welcome to our selfie family album 📸✨
Wagner Cove is such a sweet little spot to say “I do,” tucked away by the water right in the middle of Central Park. A little bit of nature, a little bit of NYC, and two people starting their next chapter together. 🖤
A selfie with every couple we marry, our way of holding onto the moment and the story we got to share.

There’s something about New York that makes an intimate wedding feel anything but small. ❤️
No ballroom. No 200 person guest list. Just the two of you, one of the most iconic cities in the world, and a day designed completely around what actually matters to you.
From the ceremony and photography to flowers, hair and makeup, marriage license support, transportation and all the little logistics in between, we take care of the details so you can actually enjoy the damn thing.
Timeless. Intimate. New York.
The goal is not a perfect wedding. The goal is a day you would choose again.

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. 💍
