Every kind of wedding vendor

A few vendors to start with

Manhattan

Marrying at the Clerk's office? You may need only a photographer and a place to eat afterward. If a friend or officiant will marry you somewhere else in the city, that person must register with the City Clerk before the ceremony, and you can check that they have.

Brooklyn

Choosing a garden or park building? Ask the venue about caterers before you hire one: the Prospect Park Picnic House works with 10 approved caterers (Prospect Park), and Brooklyn Botanic Garden has one culinary partner (BBG).

Queens

Planning a museum or garden wedding? The venue can decide the caterer for you: the Queens Museum uses an exclusive caterer for its events (Queens Museum). Settle the venue first, then book the vendors it allows.

The Bronx

Wanting a garden? The New York Botanical Garden and Wave Hill each book weddings through their own events team, so start there. Then ask a photographer, florist or hair and makeup artist whether they travel to your venue and what the price includes.

Staten Island

Banquet halls, restaurants and waterfront spaces host weddings here. For a DJ, a photographer or a car, ask about your date, the hours and the total; a limousine needs Taxi and Limousine Commission licensing, so ask for the vehicle and license details.

Marrying in Westchester, the Hudson Valley, Long Island or North Jersey? Ask each vendor whether your venue is inside their usual area and whether travel costs extra. City Clerk registration covers ceremonies inside New York City; in New Jersey, ask your officiant which New Jersey rules apply.

What to ask before you book

Start with your date: ask whether the vendor is free, how long they will hold it, and what deposit secures it. Then get a written contract with no blanks: the hours, who will actually show up, what you receive, the total with travel and overtime, and what happens if either side cancels or needs to change the date (NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, checked September 2026). Pay in a way you can trace, never by gift card, cryptocurrency or wire transfer (FTC).
