“WE LOVE THE IDEA OF ELOPING TO NEW YORK… BUT CAN WE HONEYMOON SOMEWHERE ELSE AFTER?” 👀💍🗽
This is one of the questions landing in my inbox.
And my answer is…
YES. Absolutely. And this is where it gets REALLY exciting. ❤️
🍾 I've had lots of enquiries about New York elopements recently, but couples aren't necessarily looking at New York as the whole trip.
They're asking me:
“Could we get married in New York… and then go somewhere completely different for our honeymoon?”
Of course you can. 🥰 Also thank you for asking as if you are thinking this. Others will be too! Ask questions! I genuinely want to help and give you the answers!
🌃I LOVE the idea.
Just pause for a second and Imagine…
🗽 NEW YORK
🚕Arrive a few days before the wedding.
Settle in.
🗽Enjoy the city.
💍Then get married in New York, with one of the most iconic cities in the world as your backdrop.
🤵♂️Maybe you're dressed to the nines with a photographer, flowers and a limousine.
🍜Maybe you're in your everyday clothes, you say your vows, grab something incredible to eat in Chinatown and spend the afternoon wandering through the city.
🥰Neither is more of a wedding than the other.
Then…
Instead of packing your bags and flying home…
you carry on. ✈️❤️
How about:
🗽💍 New York → Maldives 🏝️
City energy, wedding day excitement and incredible photographs… followed by white sand, clear water and absolutely nothing to do except enjoy being newly married.
🗽💍 New York → Caribbean 🌴
Get married in Manhattan, then swap skyscrapers for palm trees.
🗽💍 New York → California 🌊
NYC wedding followed by Los Angeles, the California coast, perhaps a road trip and a completely different side of America.
🗽💍 New York → Florida ☀️
City wedding followed by beaches, resorts or even some Disney magic if that's your thing.
🗽💍 New York → Mexico 🇲🇽
A few exhilarating days in the city followed by a beautiful resort and time to properly slow down.
🗽💍 New York → another US city 🇺🇸
Perhaps New York is simply chapter one. Boston? New Orleans? Miami? Las Vegas? San Francisco?
Or go BIG…
New York wedding → somewhere completely different on the other side of the world. 🌍
❤️This is why I don't want you to come to me thinking you need to choose a package from a list.
💭Tell me the dream.
“Lynn, we want to get married in New York, then disappear to the Maldives.”
Great!
Now we've got something exciting to work with. 😍
And New York is where I have an advantage that I'm particularly proud of.
I'm not simply a travel professional who has visited New York.
🗽 I'm a native New Yorker.
I can help you think through where to stay, where to celebrate, the neighbourhoods I'd consider, your wedding day route, fabulous photo opportunities and how to actually experience the city rather than simply tick off attractions.
📸Need ideas for a photographer?
💐Flowers?
🎩A witness?
🚕Wedding day transport?
🍴A beautiful dinner?
🍜Something relaxed in Chinatown?
🚕A yellow cab photograph?
🚇 Subway downtown in your wedding clothes?
Or perhaps we're going full movie scene with a limousine and a gorgeous Manhattan hotel. ❤️
Tell me the vibe.
Then once you're married…
I'll help you piece the honeymoon together too.
✈️Flights.
🏩Hotels.
🔂Connections.
🚖Transfers.
🌎Different destinations.
✅One journey.
✅One person helping you bring it all together.
Your wedding doesn't need to be one day.
It could be the beginning of the greatest trip you've ever taken together. 💍🌍
So I'm curious…
You get married in New York on Monday. On Tuesday you're heading to the airport for your honeymoon. ❓Where are you flying? 👇
My vote for the contrast?
