Alexandra & Joan
Alexandra Runs Your Day.
A Trusted Team Delivers It.
Alexandra Paez is a bilingual wedding officiant registered with New York City — and your point of contact from the first message to the final photo. Warm, organized and unflappable, she crafts ceremonies that feel like they were written only for you, in English, Spanish, or beautifully both. She answers every inquiry herself, guides you through the license and the logistics, personally oversees your day, and files your marriage license after the ceremony.
Joan leads our photography. His style is photojournalism with a splash of classic portraiture: real moments, real light, the park at its most romantic. Couples joke that he's part photographer, part Central Park tour guide — he'll have you laughing between portraits at Ladies Pavilion, Bow Bridge and Bethesda Terrace. Depending on the day, your photos are taken by Joan or by one of our trusted associate photographers, all held to the same standard.
On some dates your ceremony is officiated by one of our trusted bilingual officiants — Alexandra matches you with the right person and oversees every detail. Together since 2011, we've married hundreds of couples from every corner of the world: travelers eloping for a weekend, families of twenty, New Yorkers keeping it simple.

Personal, Never Factory
Alexandra personally answers every inquiry and vets every date. If we're not the right fit, she'll tell you honestly.
