Getting Married at Brooklyn City Hall

Brooklyn City Hall (officially known as the Municipal Building) is a hidden gem for elopements in NYC. With its beautiful neoclassical architecture and shorter wait times compared to Manhattan’s City Clerk’s Office, it’s an ideal choice for couples looking for an intimate ceremony.
