It goes without saying that the best New York City weddings in Vogue share the common thread of the metropolis: every event took place in the boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens. But other than that? There’s a rich diversity of couples, their fashion, and their design aesthetics—which is true of the Big Apple itself.
Some opted for grand affairs at Gilded Age mansions; others, at City Hall. Some couples wed on steps of landmark institutions—“We both envisioned an old-school New York City, Great Gatbsy-inspired, black and white ball for the big day,” model Kate Bock said of her wedding to Kevin Love at the New York Public Library—others, on the steps of their own stoop. (Or, in the case of one couple, in the middle of a city street.) There were receptions at avant-garde artist studios or classic restaurants like The Grill and Balthazar.
In 2023, 121,935 weddings took place within the urban limits. For those who are planning their own affair in the Big Apple, we rounded up our best New York City weddings.
