NYC Wedding Officiant & elopement expert
Hi, I’m Lauren
Consider me your go-to person for intimate, heartfelt wedding ceremonies bursting with character - think whimsical elopements, cozy micro-weddings, and spontaneous pop-up weddings against the breathtaking sceneries of NYC, Long Island, and South Florida. Picture me as your wedding fairy godmother, minus the sparkly gown, plus a knack for crafting memories that last a lifetime.
I've always been drawn to the charm of small gatherings and intimate elopements that scream "let's run away together!" This passion sparked the inception of Pop Up Vows - a platform where I bring to life visions of intentional, tear-jerking ceremonies. It's like your personal fairy-tale machine!
Enter the uninvited wedding crasher, COVID-19. Amidst the turmoil, I heard heart-wrenching tales of couples having to put their grand wedding plans on hold. But, like a knight in shining armor, I saw a chance to step in and save the day! I'm here for all you lovebirds adamant about saying "I do," come hell or high water.
Now, I'm all about orchestrating and officiating cozy, intimate elopements and ceremonies. I sprinkle a dash of love, a shot of joy, and a whole lot of fun in creating these magical moments. And for those who want the full experience, I offer my private elopement suite as a venue. It's like having your fairy tale and living it too!
The pure joy and love I've witnessed in the couples I've had the privilege to work with is the best testament that I'm living my dream. It's like receiving a standing ovation every single day! And yes, I'm head over heels in love with it.

How do I apply for a marriage license in NYC?
Complete the online marriage license application process. This part of the application process hasn’t changed so if your marriage license has expired then this will feel very familiar. If you haven’t completed this application process before, this is where you fill in all of your identifying information.
Once you submit your application process, you’ll receive a confirmation number that you need to hold onto in order to submit your Project Cupid application.
Create a NYC.ID account if you don’t already have one in order to log into Project Cupid.
Log into NYC’s Project Cupid and enter the Confirmation number you received in step one of this whole process.
From there, you’ll need to upload photo identification like a driver’s license or passport. CLICK HERE to review all the acceptable forms of ID.
You’ll pay the $35 fee online and schedule a date/time to meet with the City Clerk virtually to review the accuracy of the information you input during step one, to verify that you really do match your photo IDs, and that you’re both currently in New York State.
The City Clerk will send your marriage license online.
