New York City Marriage Bureau

Such a happy place!

The staff are like any staff working at a government agency. Make sure you make it on time and be prepared to wait.

Person at Station 14 (there to get a copy of my marriage certificate) is very rude. Doesn't explain anything and throws things when she is supposed to hand them back to you. She dropped my license and said "there goes your license"

We went on a Friday. They didn't open the building doors until 8, so our 7:55 arrival meant waiting 5 minutes outside. Once they let us in, we were formed into a queue. There were about 6 couples there all together. By 8:10 there were about 30 couples there! We were very happy we got there early. We had filled out the online form, so at 8:30 when we were getting our ticket, we were able to by-pass the computer screen kiosk. We were number 004, so we had to wait a very short amount of time before our number was called. We spent the time there looking at the little shop. After our number was called the time with the teller was about 10 minutes. We were out before 8:45, a painless process!

What a great place to get married. We did on September 30, 2011. Beautiful space. Awesome officiant.
