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 NYC. 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 set up a call.
We learn what you're going for and handle everything from there — location, permits, photographer, officiant, and marriage license paperwork.
You show up and get married. Your officiant runs the show on-site, 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 are a good fit if you want more than City Hall but less than a full wedding. You've been putting it off, you don't want to spend $80K, or you just want something intentional without the production. We work with couples from everywhere — out of state, lifelong New Yorkers, and everyone in between.
