NEW YORK – With Valentine’s Day just a month away, many LGBT couples will celebrate their love by forming a legal union. A City Hall wedding has always had a certain element of grit and hipness, but can it be fabulous? At Duane Street Hotel in Downtown New York, that answer is a resounding yes, thanks to the “I Do NYC” Package and the recently renovated Manhattan Marriage Bureau.
Duane Street Hotel is just five blocks away from the Manhattan Marriage Bureau, one of the closest hotels. Renovated in 2009, the bureau is adorned with chandeliers, modern furnishings, and marble pillars.
“Whether the couple lives in NY and wants to get married locally or is traveling to celebrate DOMA’s declaration as unconstitutional, the ‘I Do NYC’ Package has all the elements to make the big day ‘City Hall-chic’,” said Nicolas Daeppen, general manager of the Tribeca lifestyle hotel. “Getting married at City Hall has a whole different feel in New York, especially when you stay at Duane Street Hotel.”
With the “I Do NYC” package couples receive:
• Overnight accommodations in our newly renovated guestrooms
• American Breakfast for two
• Sparkling Champagne upon arrival
• Gift box of 12 pastel heart almond pound cake petits fours from Duane Park Patisserie with the couple’s initials and choice of apricot or raspberry jam filling.
• Two “I Got Married in New York City” T-shirts
• Limousine Sedan to take you to and from Manhattan Marriage Bureau
• Complimentary access to Equinox Gym and Spa
