Both Las Vegas and Hawaii are popular elopement locations, but they are not right for everyone. The glitz and glamour (or should we say, clamor?) of Vegas does not always mesh with a couple's idea of romance and the cost of flying to Hawaii's shores is becoming increasingly prohibitive.

A recent industry survey from The Wedding Report indicates that "destination weddings have gotten closer to home." It's no wonder, with air fares (and everything else) skyrocketing. Why not elope to beautiful Colorado for a breathtaking intimate wedding? Whether you chose to elope to the glistening shores of Grand Lake or Lake Dillon, a majestic mountain backdrop in Aspen, Breckenridge, Winter Park or Vail, or an out of the way romantic woodsy retreat (don't worry, we know where they are!) in a smaller Colorado mountain town, we'll make sure your Colorado elopement will be a treasured memory for a lifetime.

Or perhaps you're a Colorado resident and want to be married right here. Why not? If you need a reason or two (or a hundred) to forego getting married at the courthouse, click here.
