I would recommend Simply Eloped to family and friends who want to have a simple ceremony. My husband and I had an amazing day thanks to this service who helped us so much!
Thank you to everyone at Simply Eloped for giving us a wedding day that we have dreamed about for eleven years.
We had an amazing experience and amazing day. Communication was excellent.
It was a pleasure to use SE. The communication was on point, the services were excellent and I enjoyed not being a stressed out bride in the weeks leading up to our big day! We enjoyed our morning on the day of. We really had a wonderful experience!
I really like how easy it was – we were assigned a photographer and officiant, told to pick a bouquet, etc. Just what I wanted! Nice and easy. 🙂
You all are amazing. Couldn’t be more thankful for you all for making our day so amazing!
I just want to say our experience was more than what was expected. The officiant was as if she knew us for years. Both Sarah and Marta showed great professionalism experience and patience. I am very grateful to have worked with them. Thank you Simply Eloped!!!
The Simply Eloped team was fantastic. From Megan & Olivia who onboarded us, to Kimberli who guided us through all the details and kept us informed and calm, to Ashley, Debbie and Sarah on our big day! If I had to do it all over again, I would have hired simply eloped way sooner. Our day was perfect and that is because we hired Simply Eloped!

New York has so much variety and character! No two streets or neighborhoods ever look the same. There are lush green parks, brownstones and cobblestone streets, unique coffee shops, and eclectic street art depending on your preference and style.
I love being able to capture such a special moment for couples. It’s truly an honor that they entrust me to document this time of their lives. It’s so nice knowing that the photos I take of them will be treasured for a lifetime.
Sarah, Officiant
NYC is one of the world’s most exciting cities! There are innumerable options for eloping, from Central Park to the Brooklyn Bridge to an elegant hotel in midtown. Photo opportunities are epic!
I can’t pick one! A sunrise ceremony in Central Park, the Top of the Rock, in front of the Rockefeller Christmas tree, Coney Island, the steps of the NY Public Library or Grand Central Station… all are outstanding!
Marta, Photographer
As an elopement photographer I’m often a guest, a witness, and a friend couples share one of the most special days of their lives with. That’s incredibly cool and I feel very privileged and thankful for that.
It’s so hard to choose just one! Coney Island, the New York Public Library (we normally get to visit some epic spots nearby!), Brooklyn Bridge Park,… Whenever the spot is special to my couple for whatever reason, the experience is amazing.
Read the real stories of couples who eloped in New York City!
Ever wonder what a classic New York City wedding in Central Park would look like? Look no further! After dating and quickly falling in love, Patrycja and Marc knew that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. But they both felt like a traditional wedding wasn’t “them,” and neither was going to a courthouse to tie the knot. Researching their options, they realized that an elopement with their closest loved ones was the perfect idea. Patrycja and Marc were married September 21, 2019 at Summit Rock in New York City’s Central Park – you’ll want to scroll through and check out all of the photos from their beautiful day!
How did you find Simply Eloped?
I started out by looking at City Hall, but I didn’t want to just go to City Hall because it didn’t feel special enough. I started to look for something that wasn’t City Hall but wasn’t a catering hall, either. I stumbled onto the Simply Eloped website and fell in love with the whole experience.
What attracted you to the venue you eloped at?
We loved the idea of getting married outside. We first wanted to get married at Fort Tryon but unfortunately another wedding was booked there for that day. I started to try to find other places and came across Summit Rock. The more I read about Summit Rock the more I loved about it. It is the highest point in Central Park – Central Park is one of our favorite places. We would always go to Time Square to walk around, and then walk through Central Park. It was almost like it was meant to be.
Tell us about your experience with Simply Eloped leading up to and on your big day!
Simply Eloped help us so much! They were able to connect us with so many great people. At our wedding we had a guitarist playing our wedding song, “Beyond,” by Leon Bridges, a photographer, videographer, and officiant. They were all such amazing people. Everything that we wanted they were able to help us with and more.
We bought out a restaurant on the Upper West Side by Saint John the Baptist Church. The name of the restaurant is Marlow Bistro. It is a cute corner restaurant that serves farm to table food – the food is absolutely delicious. The restaurant had the vibe that we wanted for our guests. The owner was so accommodating … Everything from the decor of the restaurant to the cake. When we first starting planning we thought that we would have about 20 guests. Well, the list kept growing and we ended up with about 70 people attending!
Moments after their introduction, Michael confided in a friend that he had just met the woman he was going to marry. Jenn and Michael first encountered each other at a wedding—the perfect place to spark the beginning of their Central Park elopement story.
During the six years following this fateful day, they built a full life together—purchasing a fixer-upper, transforming it into a beautiful home, and welcoming several dogs into their family. One afternoon, when Jenn was arriving home from work, Michael sat waiting to pop the question—with a musician playing their favorite song, a chef cooking her favorite meal, and a journey of rose petals.
Before they were engaged, the two envisioned an elaborate destination wedding in Cabo. But as planning got underway, the stress of the process overshadowed the intimate ceremony they longed to experience. So they contacted Simply Eloped in NYC and decided to combine their upcoming trip to the Big Apple with an unforgettable adventure of a wedding. They envisioned exchanging vows tucked in the verdant sanctuary of Central Park, inspiring Janessa from Simply Eloped to recommend The Treehouse of Dreaming for their perfect New York elopement. Soon enough, the swift arrangements fell into place.
Their big day developed into nothing short of an iconic NYC wedding—incorporating the city’s beautiful fall foliage, the excitement of the NYC marathon, and one of the area’s most well-known romantic restaurants. But one of the biggest adventures occurred before Jenn even made it to the wedding. As she approached her awaiting groom—wedding dress and all—her cab became trapped in a bumper-to-bumper traffic. So in movie-like fashion, she leapt out of the car and hustled across the city to her Central Park wedding. As she ran, New Yorkers and tourists cheered her on, yelling congratulations as she wove through the crowds. But since Central Park is quite the expansive labyrinth, she jumped back into a cab, making it to her awaiting fiancé in time.
The site of him waiting on the hill of the park—violinist and officiant standing by—is an image she’ll never forget. At last, surrounded by the stunning autumn sights of NYC in the fall, Michael and Jenn said their “I Do’s” beneath the vines of the rustic treehouse, serenaded by the music of a New York violinist. A nearby trumpet player added music to the park’s afternoon, and welcomed Jenn and Michael to dance an impromptu first dance to his melody.
It’s become pretty apparent that not even the coronavirus can stop love, and Claudia and Issac’s story is no exception! The couple had their big, traditional wedding perfectly planned in Northern California – where Claudia is from – until the pandemic stopped them completely in their tracks. Rather than call the whole thing off, Claudia and Isaac decided to elope somewhere fun, recognizable, and exciting: New York City’s Central Park. On August 15th, the couple shared their vows amongst a handful of loved ones, and had an incredible day celebrating! Read all about their love story and their New York elopement experience below!
We met on a dating app when we were both living in the San Francisco Bay Area. We both assumed this would just be another app date and not much would come of it, but we were both pleasantly surprised by how much we got along and liked each other.
Why did you decide to elope in Central Park?
We actually had a big wedding planned for the same date in Northern California, where I’m from, but COVID forced us to postpone to next year (at least). We still wanted to get married, so we decided to have a small elopement ceremony in Central Park with just our close family and two local friends. It felt very New York!
Central Park is iconic New York. If we were going to elope in New York City, it needed to be somewhere recognizable and exciting. (The dress was also very Carrie Bradshaw!) I liked that it was public and people could watch, too! In fact, everyone around us was watching!
It’s a very special experience. It’s intimate and low-key. I always wanted a big, elaborate wedding, and an elopement wasn’t something I had considered. But given the circumstances, an elopement in central park was so special and fun. Now we’ll just have two weddings!
Danielle & Oliver chose to elope in one of the most romantic spots in all of New York’s Central Park. The two of them had already planned to visit NYC and decided to make it the trip of a lifetime! The couple was a vision of sophistication with Danielle wearing a stunning, off the shoulder, lace gown. They stood beneath the rustic, wooden shelter at Wagner Cove and exchanged their promises to one another. On Central Park’s lake, the secluded spot was just the vision that Danielle & Oliver had in mind for their New York wedding. Read more to find out how Oliver’s proposal brought the two of them together for a Simply Eloped experience.
Danielle: Oliver dragged me out in the middle of the wind, cold and rain, through the mud, to get to a tree. I was really upset Oliver was dragging me through such awful weather and we were not in the proper shoes. Then he got down on one knee and everything melted away. He cried. I cried. It was beautiful. He asked me if I would be his forever and, of course, I said ‘Yes!’.
Danielle: We chose to elope in NYC. We had a trip planned to go to New York City anyway, and we thought, ‘why not just elope!’. We did not know what was going to happen with Covid-19, so we might as well just do it. We thought it would be really romantic. Just the two of us.
Danielle: Wagner Cove is a private little place in Central Park, where you are transported out of the city and into nature. Wagner Cove is right on The Lake. It is just beautiful and quiet.
Danielle: On the day of our wedding, we went to the Brooklyn Bridge. I thought, ‘I am so glad we are not getting married on the Brooklyn Bridge!’. It’s a beautiful bridge, but there were so many people there! So we went back to our hotel, ate lunch, got ready, and then took a cab to our ceremony. We were both really excited.
Sara & Siggy are quintessential New Yorkers with tons in common. The question is, how did they NOT meet while attending the same university? Fate intervened, and the two of them connected through a meet-cute involving work and music. After a wonderful party proposal, the couple knew they wanted to elope in their favorite place in New York City – Central Park. They were excited to find that Wagner Cove, a peaceful and serene spot in the middle of the Park, had a chuppah-like wooden arch for their ceremony. Sara & Siggy tied the knot while family and friends stood by them, and fellow New Yorkers waved from their boats on the water. A truly picturesque Simply Eloped wedding!
Sara & Siggy: We chose to elope in Wagner Cove in Central Park. We are both Jewish and love how the structure resembles a chuppah! It seemed totally destined. We also both love animals and nature and appreciated how this spot felt a bit rugged and off the beaten path.
Sara & Siggy: We love that it was accessible and in our favorite park in NYC, Central Park. However, it still felt a bit like a hidden gem at the same time. We also loved the pond where ducks (and even turtles!) swam by. It was particularly fun when, during our vows, people waved at us while paddling in canoes! So sweet, and so undeniably New York.
Sara & Siggy: We kept things simple and enjoyed an intimate dinner at an Italian restaurant, Il Piccolo Ristoro, in Chelsea. We shared stories, enjoyed great food and wine, and celebrated the day!
