Mary Beaty and Beth Lamont, are Civil Marriage Officiants, licensed by the Cityclerknyc.com, Bureau of Marriages, to perform weddings in New York City and in the State of New York. We specialize in romantic elopements, informal ceremonies, and family weddings, though we frequently officiate at large weddings. Our civil wedding services are similar to a Justice of the Peace or Judge, but we also offer the opportunity to design your ceremony to suit your own needs and wishes. We have married (hundreds of) couples looking for a simple, unique, civil ceremony that is more personalized than a City Hall wedding. We will perform the ceremony at a location of your choosing, including your home or hotel, a garden, park, restaurant, or in a loft, event space or at the site of your reception - or even unusual venues such as the Brooklyn Bridge, City Hall Park, the top of Rockefeller Center, Central Park or Coney Island. What kind of Marriage Ceremonies do you offer? We provide traditional or
modern civil marriage ceremonies,
both formal and informal. Our
goal is meaningful simplicity. The most
important principle is to design a wedding which is meaningful and memorable to the wedding couple.
We have included
some sample marriage ceremonies
and readings as examples planned by other couples, and will be pleased to send you other examples to suit your needs.
Cultural Traditions We correspond with couples to discuss your ideas, wishes and plans, and then meet to design a personal ceremony that meets your needs.
