A Micro Wedding in NYC. No Venue. No Stress. No 200-Person Guest List.
Cakewalk plans micro weddings for up to 20 guests across New York City — just the ceremony, done right. Officiant, photographer, permits, marriage license — all handled. You just show up and get married.
What Even Is a Micro Wedding?
A micro wedding is a small, intentional wedding — typically 20 guests or fewer. No ballroom. No seating chart. No six-figure budget. Just the people who matter most, a ceremony that actually feels like you, and none of the filler. At Cakewalk, we handle the planning so you can skip the stress and go straight to the good part.

Why New York City?
You don’t need a venue when you have New York City. Central Park. Brooklyn Bridge Park. A rooftop in DUMBO. The steps of a courthouse with actual architecture. NYC gives you more interesting ceremony locations than most wedding venues could dream of — and none of them require a $15K rental fee. A micro wedding here also means your guests can actually enjoy the city. No driving to a remote estate. People fly in, walk to the ceremony, and go to dinner afterward like adults.
How it Works
You reach out. Fill out our inquiry form or take our quick quiz. We'll be in touch shortly to set up a call.
We get to know you. We dig into what you're going for — the vibe, the setting, the feel. From there, we handle everything: finding the right location, pulling permits, booking your photographer, bringing in an officiant, and taking care of all the marriage license paperwork.
You show up and get married. We map out the day so everything flows naturally. Your officiant runs the show on-site — they're not just leading the ceremony, they're making sure the whole thing goes off without a hitch.

Add what you want. Skip what you don’t.
No packages. No tiers. No “platinum upgrade.” Every Cakewalk micro wedding starts with the same base — officiant, photographer, license, permits. We don’t upsell. The base has absolutely everything you need.
If you want more, you add only what you actually want if you want it: Super 8 videography, more photography time, live musicians, a vintage taxi, all built into your Cakewalk timeline.
Who’s this for?
Cakewalk micro weddings tend to be a good fit if:
You want to get married in NYC without planning a full wedding
You're eloping but want a few people there
You've been engaged for a while and just want to do the thing already
You hate the idea of spending $40K+ on one day
You want it to feel intentional, not improvised — but also not overdone
You live in NYC or you're traveling here specifically to get married
We work with couples flying in from out of state, New Yorkers who've lived here for 30 years, and everyone in between.
