Where is a good place to elope? ?

Question

And I know that most you want to say Vegas.. Please don't, to me, Vegas is a little over rated. Anyways, any ideas would be helpful. Thanks

Answer 1

We got married in Maui last month.  The hotel we stayed at does weddings.  Ours was just on the sand & it was simple but gorgeous!  I wouldn't have changed a thing.

Answer 2

I think San Diego would be nice the weather is pretty steady and calm. The beaches provide great back drops. The night life can be what ever you want it to be. San Diego is absolutely  beautiful.San Diego



See San Diego from the sparkling waters of the Bay. Hop aboard a state-of-the-art Hydra Terra amphibious vehicle and learn about the city's maritime history while viewing its top sights, including Shelter Island, Point Loma, and the Maritime Museum.

Answer 3

The thing with eloping is you've got to find somewhere that you will be long enough to get the license as many states have a waiting period, although some don't.  Another thing to watch for is required blood tests (i believe connecticut requires this).

SO, if you wanted to elope to Minnesota, you've got to apply for license, then wait 5 days, pick it up then you can get married.

I would suggest Virginia!  They don't have a waiting period.  You could go towards the mountains, toward historic arlington/alexandria or hit virginia beach.

www.usmarriagelaws.com is a great help for the rules from state to state.

Answer 7

Well....what do you like?  

Do you like beautiful scenery?  You can be married in just about all the National Parks....the Grand Canyon....Acadia National Park....Yellowstone, Mt. Rainier, etc.

Something beautiful and romantic?  How about the wine country in California?  

Are you wanting to see blue water and hear crashing waves?  Well, head to Florida or California.

Do you like snow and skiing?  Head to the slopes in Vail, Telluride, etc. this winter.

Big city interest you?  Head off to New York.

There are loads of Bed and Breakfast Inns all throughout the country that specialize in elopement packages too.  Here is a link:

Answer 12

I'm not sure where you are, but fun places to elope  that come to mind are "small town" places like Vermont or the Berkshires in Mass. Get married, and then nestle away in a cute B&B for a week. Very secluded, very romantic and nothing at all like Vegas (I agree, by the way ... totally over-rated). picture baths together, picnics, hiking, long walks, fireside dinner, etc.

I'm kind of partial to this idea, though, because we're honeymooning in Vermont :)
