The State Division of Consumer Protection warns couples to be alert to scams when planning a wedding.
Valentine’s Day has become a popular day for marriage proposals. The New York Department of State’s Division of Consumer Protection says the next steps on the way to a wedding can be challenging. The department says coordinating vendors, paying deposits, handling legal documents and managing busy schedules can make wedding planning an overwhelming process, and the emotional and financial pressures can make couples more vulnerable to fraud. Scammers are always looking for opportunities to steal money from consumers. The Department of State website has wedding tips for newly engaged couples, and the Department of Health website has specific requirements for getting married in New York.
