The elopement options are endless and it can be overwhelming to pick a place that will give you the most adventurous experience.
Below are 5 (of many) of the best cities to elope in the United States. Every location has something unique and memorable to offer. Here are my picks for some of the 5 most romantic spots to elope in the U.S!
New Orleans
New Orleans is known to be one of the most popular elopement destinations in the world. This city offers you unique and romantic elopement venues for your special day, which is reason enough to elope in NOLA. And if you’re into ghosts…let’s make it a spooky adventure :)
The most beautiful architecture, horse-drawn carriages, centuries-old oak trees, and European atmosphere create romantic feelings no matter where you are in NOLA.
Moab **Bucket list
Moab elopements are producing some of the most gorgeous galleries I’ve seen, because of the wide-open spaces, epic scenery, mountain-scapes, and waterfalls.
It’s a stunning southwest setting full of adventure and color. The bright blue sky, dramatic red rocks, winding desert river and dirt roads, and distant mountains sitting on the horizon (and capped with snow on the winter!). Moab really is a magical place for elopement adventures!
Tybee Island
Tybee Island is one of the most beautiful cities to elope in the U.S. This place is absolutely perfect for a relaxed and stress-free intimate celebration. There’s always something enchanting about the open, natural beauty of the ocean. Imagine lounging in the breeze, bright blue skies, the sound of waves crashing gently, driftwood washing ashore, and warm sunshine on the most romantic day of your life.
Kauai, Hawaii**Bucket list
Kauai is one of the most romantic islands that would make anyone’s list of the best places to elope! Unmatched in lush green beauty and covered with forest and mountain ranges, Kauai is one of the more adventurous of all the Hawaiian islands.
There are so many amazing reasons to elope in Kauai! Whether it’s the spectacular cliffs with epic views, crystal clear beaches, beautiful waterfalls, you can’t make a wrong choice.
Las Vegas, Nevada
The city of love and the wedding capital of the world, Las Vegas, is an ideal place to elope! With a range of locations to choose from — scenic mountains, unique natural landscapes, iconic chapels, ghost towns, opulent resorts — the destination is hands down the easiest place to say “I Do”.

I'm Laramie (she/her) and no matter how you plan to celebrate, I've got your back. I often work with couples who scale down their wedding plans in an effort to escape the pressure and tradition pushed upon them by society / family. I've even been trusted with secret ceremonies that to this day I haven't ever shared.
I am an advocate for your peace, your ideas, and YOUR day. That's a promise.
