Secret Wedding Locations in New York City

The city that never sleeps, right? New York is always alive, always on the move, and always at a breakneck pace. But, as New York's hustle and bustle goes whizzing by, if you slow down, you might see some small, secret spaces. These are places where you can breathe, and enjoy nature. Of course, there are many spots in public parks where you can experience this calm, but Rev Shari has a few secret locations up the billowing sleeve of her minister's robe.

Kayaking dock in Brooklyn In this location, you have lovely wild gardens, expansive green lawns, and the opportunity to kayak. I can't say too much about it...it's a secret! This location is not free, but it is affordable. You provide your own catering, or you head off to any of a number of wonderful nearby restaurants. Appropriate for small groups or elopements.

Yacht club on City Island (Bronx) You may have seen the movie shot on City Island recently--if not, I strongly recommend it. My secret location is not shown in the movie, but it offers remarkable views of the city, the Throgs Neck Bridge, and beautiful sailboats. Catering is on premises, and delicious. The chef will work with you on a menu. This venue is offbeat and shabby chic, in a nautical way. The dining room seats about 75 but would be perfect for a smaller wedding. There is even an outdoor balcony for bouquet tossing. If you want to go really nautical, you can be married ON a sailboat!

Do you want to get married on the Cyclone? On the Brooklyn Bridge? In a subway tunnel? In a hansom cab? A yellow cab? Rev Shari will work with you on any of these...but these are not-so-secret! Let's cook up a wedding that suits you, and Rev Shari will marry you up good.
