What to know

Know the license timeline

New York requires a 24-hour waiting period after the marriage license is issued before you can marry, and the license is valid for 60 days. You apply in person at a Town or City Clerk, such as Southampton or East Hampton. Plan the timing into your trip.

Sort out any permits

A ceremony on a town or public beach usually needs a permit. An officiant or planner can point you to the right spot and handle it.

Keep the team small

An officiant, a photographer, and maybe a florist are often all you need. Note your plans and the right vendors will respond.
