Your sign to elope in Colorado & bring your dog along to sign your marriage license 🌼🐾
Part one of W+A’s multi day elopement! They opted to elope among the wildflowers in Crested Butte, then a couple months later go on a sailboat tour and have a micro wedding celebration with their family and friends in Breckenridge. Best of both worlds 🥂

I know what I would do 🤷🏼♀️ National parks are the best wedding venues! And if you’re keeping it super intimate with no guests, you can even elope on national forest land without permits, fees and less crowds🌲
Plus you can splurge on things you truly value - like your experience, activities and epic photos and videos to document every moment. 🥂

J+A married in Crested Butte 🥂
They wanted to elope, but also wanted their family there. They decided to spend the morning just the two of them exploring the mountains, and had a micro wedding ceremony and reception in the evening with their guests. Best of both worlds!
Our multi day packages are perfect for elopement and micro weddings ✨

Yep it’s true! Colorado doesn’t require a witness to sign your marriage license… which means your dog can! 🐾 And honestly, it makes for the cutest photos.
A few quick tips if you’re planning to have your pup sign:
✔️ Double-check with the county clerk where you get your license- some offices don’t allow pets (Denver, Arapahoe & El Paso included). The good news: you can get your license from any county, as long as you marry in Colorado.
✔️ Grab an inkless paw print pad (Amazon has them!) so it’s safe for your dog and mess-free.
✔️ Do a little practice run before the real thing.
Would you elope in Colorado for your dog “sign” your marriage license? 🥹

Did you know you can get married at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs? Here’s what you need to know!
✔️It’s a first come first serve wedding venue. No reservation, permit or fee is required - you can just show up to one of their designated ceremony sites and get married!
✔️The maximum group size allowed depends on the ceremony site and ranges from 25-50 people, but honestly I can’t imagine having that many people in these public spaces. I’d highly suggest eloping, or limiting your guest count to less than 15.
✔️It can get busy! Choose sunrise on a weekday for the most privacy. The good news is Garden of the Gods is stunning year round, so you can get married in any season. I personally love November to June.
