He can apply for ESTA and then immigrate.

But if I was him I'd tell the officer about your plans and he should take proof with him like a copy of his work contract and a copy of his leasing contact for his flat or house.

There is nothing wrong in telling CBP you plan to get married. I did when I entered in 2016 and I had no issues. I wasn't asked for any proof. After a couple weeks I returned home. I have made 5 trips since then and is now waiting for my spousal visa to be issued.

I am engaged to a UK citizen and will be moving to England. I currently live in New York state and my fiance will  be coming over in the spring and we would like to have a small court house wedding. Obviously he will be returning to England for work and also to find a bigger place for us while I tidy up here and get ready to apply for immigration to England.
What I know is, can we get married in New York on a Visitor's Visa? If so, what are some things I should know first? Will this hinder future possibilities of moving back the U.S.?

I tried contacting USCIS, State Department, and immigration lawyers but they didn't really answer my questions. All three mention three separate places to go through (online application, consulate, and embassies.) 
All I want to do is get married to my fiance.
Any and all advice is appreciated.

Hi OK I got married on visitor visa. I was asked purpose of my trip to which I responded to get married. The officer congratulated me and stamped my passport authorizing me to stay 6 months i spent only 3 weeks. I was never asked for any proof of my return home. I did travel with a letter from my job just in case. I have made several trips back to the US and have no issues. On my last trip the officer asked when I intended to move to the US permanently to which I replied by summer 2018. 

 

I did my interview at the embassy on January 5th 2018 and I am currently awaiting my immigration visa.

 

Best of luck on your upcoming nuptials.

Well some officers ask for proof so he would better have some documents with him just in case.
