Cupid’s arrow will point toward Hempstead Town Hall as local lovebirds tie the knot or renew their vows at Town Hall’s charming and historic courtroom this Valentine’s Day.
The ceremonies, officiated by Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin, Town Clerk Kate Murray, and marriage officers from the Town Clerk’s office, will take place throughout the day on Friday, Feb. 14, in the historic old courtroom at Town Hall – a venue fit for the most romantic time of the year.
“Marriage is such a beautiful expression of love between two people who pledge, through both good and bad times, to stand by each other,” Clavin said. “I invite all couples considering entering into this special bond, or those looking to reaffirm the love they currently share by renewing their vows, to join us at Hempstead Town Hall this Valentine’s Day.”
Loving couples will be treated to refreshments, including a sparkling cider toast, thanks to the event’s generous sponsor, Stop & Shop Supermarkets.
“Joining together two people in love is one of the most enjoyable parts of my role as Town Clerk,” Murray said. “I am very excited to gather with so many loving couples this Valentine’s Day, and I look forward to celebrating this special occasion with them.”
Couples must secure a marriage license at least 24 hours prior to their Valentine’s Day ceremony and make reservations with the Town Clerk’s Office in advance to secure their space. For more information, or to make a reservation, please call the Town Clerk’s Office at (516) 812-3014.
