NYC City Clerk Marriage Services

The City Clerk handles New York City marriage licenses and appointment-only civil ceremonies, with ceremony service available at offices in all five boroughs. Couples schedule through Project Cupid, and no walk-ins are permitted.

License appointments can be in person or virtual, but City Clerk ceremonies must happen in person with a valid New York State license. That split matters if one person expected a fully remote legal wedding.

Book the license appointment first, then reserve the borough ceremony office that fits your travel plan.
