The Best Places to Elope in Colorado
Colorado Elopement Guide
If you’re thinking about eloping, it can be overwhelming to decide on a location. I mean, there’s a whole world out there - literally! Elope Telluride specializes in elopements in western Colorado, so of course we think this area is pretty spectacular! But we have good reason… Western Colorado has something to check just about everyone’s boxes. Within an area of about 100 miles, there are 14,000-foot peaks, meadows of wildflowers, raging waterfalls, desert red rock formations, alpine lakes, winter ski slopes, forests of pine & aspen trees, and a national park with the third deepest canyon in America. (Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park)
Our rankings for the top places to elope in Colorado are Telluride, Ouray, and Ridgway. Taking into consideration 1) variety of elopement ceremony locations, 2) lodging options, 3) honeymoon activities, and 4) scenic views. These towns have the best locations for adventure elopements in the whole state. They may not be household names like Breckenridge, Denver or Rocky Mountain National Park, but they are more laid back and have MUCH better mountain views for eloping.
We have created helpful Elopement Guides for all three of these towns, explaining how to elope there, best months to elope, and photos of each town’s ceremony locations! Click below to link to each town’s Elopement Guide:
