Option 5

This is a high alpine environment with volatile weather conditions, and can be very windy. Additionally the location requires a 5min walk on a dirt trail, and may require stepping over a small “stream”. While this location is also popular, it is big enough that we are able to hike in a bit and get away from people.
Option 6
Near Idaho Springs, CO
+$120 travel fee
1 hour from Denver
Supports up to 6 guests
Only accessible June 15 - October 30
No seating, music, or decorations allowed
This is a smaller area than Option 5, and generally doesn’t have a lot of people in the area. I personally like Option 5 because of the alpine lakes, but this option has a nice “Top of the World” vibe.
Option 7
NEAR ESTES PARK, CO
+$240 TRAVEL FEE
1.5 hours from Denver | $120 Travel Fee
Supports up to 6 guests
No seating, music, or decorations allowed
This is generally not a very busy spot, but it is right on the edge of town so some people will be in the area.

FAQs
What is the fastest way to get married in Colorado?
The fastest way to get married in Colorado is to simply go into a County Clerk’s office, and file a marriage license. There is no officiant or witnesses required. However, if you want to make a moment of it, many couples choose to add on an officiant to lead the ceremony, and a photographer to capture the day at a local park our mountaintop.
Is an officiant required?
No, a wedding officiant is not legally required to get married in Colorado. But many people doing mountaintop elopements in the area choose to have an officiant assist with writing and performing the ceremony, and signing the marriage license.
Can my dog sign the marriage license?
Yes! In Colorado (most) counties allow a dog to paw print the marriage license to act as a witness.
What is the best spot to elope in Colorado?
Colorado has a variety of mountains, parks, streams, lakes, and venues for small weddings. For last minute elopements, the quickest and easiest option is to use a park or public land that does not require a permit or reservation. I’ve scouted most of the state and have some of my favorite spots listed above! These small wedding and elopement locations are perfect for Denver, Breckenridge, Colorado Springs (Garden of the Gods area), Estes Park (Rocky Mountain National Park area), and Boulder.
What is the best time of year to elope in Colorado?
People elope all year around in Colorado! Mid-June through Mid-October is the most popular season with generally warm consistent conditions. Mid-October - Mid-June will experience potential winter/snow conditions, with March being the snowiest month of the year.
How much does it cost to elope in Colorado?
Technically you can elope for the cost of the marriage license, which is $35. But if you want to add some more flare to the day, we have elopement packages starting at $1,300 that include the photography, officiant and planning!
What kind of weddings and couples do you work with?
Colorado Micro-Wedding and Elopement services are for anyone—regardless of state residency, culture, age, race, religion, ethnicity, gender identity, and/or sexual orientation. My vendors and I strive to create a comfortable space for all couples, and are proud to serve the LGBTQ+ community.
