About cakewalk weddings

Is it an elopement? A micro-wedding? A city hall civil ceremony thing?

What We Mean When We Say "For Couples Who Can't Be Bothered"

Whether you're visiting from overseas or you’ve been in the same West Village apartment since 1998, a Cakewalk wedding lets you get married in New York without stress, hassle, or financial burden.

It’s not that you don’t care—it’s that you care about the right things. The marriage, the moment, the person standing across from you.

What You Can’t Be Bothered With:

• A year of planning for one day

• Endless logistics and vendor negotiations

• A wedding that feels like a performance instead of a celebration

Why elope?

We believe an intimate ceremony—whether it’s just the two of you or a small circle of people—should be simple, well-run, and free of unnecessary noise. Cakewalk is run by locals who know this city inside and out. We know the best spots, how to navigate the chaos, and what makes a New York wedding feel effortless and real.

Getting married should be easy, low-key, and unique to your love story.

Getting married should be easy. No hidden fees, no surprises—just a straightforward, beautiful experience.

• Price transparency matters. What we offer is what it costs.

• New York is unpredictable. We embrace it, plan for it, and roll with it.

• Good service is everything. You deserve a team who shows up fully and knows what they’re doing.

What is a Cakewalk elopement?

Cakewalk ceremonies are small, intentional, and tailored to your vibe. We handle the moving parts—officiants, photographers, location guidance—so you can focus on what actually matters: getting married.

No performances. No overcomplicated nonsense. Just a beautiful moment in a city that never stops moving.

If that sounds right for you, we’d love to talk.
