## Your Guests May Ask How Long We’ve Known You That is one of the compliments we hear most often after a ceremony. The answer is usually surprising: we met during the wedding-planning process. But by taking the time to understand your relationship, personalities and vision, NY Marriages creates and delivers a ceremony that sounds as though it came from someone who has known your story for years. Since 2006, NY Marriages has performed more than 13,000 wedding ceremonies throughout Long Island and New York City. Our experience includes everything from intimate gatherings to large formal weddings at many of the region’s most recognized venues. With 199 WeddingWire reviews and nine Couples’ Choice Awards, NY Marriages has built its reputation by creating ceremonies that feel personal, polished and unmistakably connected to the two people standing at the altar. ## A Ceremony Built Around Your Relationship Your ceremony should never sound like a generic script with your names inserted into it. Our detailed couples questionnaire helps us understand how you met, what brought you together, what you appreciate about one another and how you want the ceremony to feel. We use those details to create a meaningful narrative that can be romantic, sincere, lighthearted, humorous or a combination that feels natural to you. The result is a ceremony that keeps your guests engaged—and gives them something genuine to remember. ## Ceremony Options NY Marriages creates personalized: * Civil and non-religious ceremonies * Spiritual and interfaith ceremonies * Same-sex wedding ceremonies * Vow renewals and recommitment ceremonies * Traditional and contemporary ceremonies Readings, unity candles, sand ceremonies, wine-box and love-letter ceremonies, family participation and other meaningful traditions can be incorporated when they reflect your relationship. We also provide guidance with personal vows, ceremony structure and New York marriage-license requirements. ## Experience You Can Feel on the Wedding Day Thirteen thousand ceremonies have taught us when to guide, when to reassure, when to bring some humor into the moment—and when to step back and let the couple’s story speak for itself. Our officiants arrive prepared, communicate clearly and deliver each ceremony with warmth, confidence and respect for the occasion. If you want a Long Island wedding ceremony that sounds like the two of you—not everyone else—contact NY Marriages to discuss your date and the experience you want to create.
