Cupid Coming To Hempstead Town For Valentine's Day

The Town of Hempstead is giving couples, both those who've only recently proposed and those who've been together for years, to share their love at Hemsptead Town Hall on Valentine's Day. The town will be officiating marriage ceremonies and vow renewals at the historic courthouse all 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.

“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.”

The couples who come will be treated to free refreshment's, courtesy of Stop & Shop.

“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.
