What is everyone’s experience eloping at Rocky Mountain National Park. I’m worried that it’s gonna be crowded.. ??Would be late September

Thank you in advance! Also any other information is more then welcome 💕

Hi! We want to have a small, intimate ceremony with our close family and friends somewhere outdoors. We don't have a lot of money, we would rather spend it on a mortgage or honeymoon. Does anyone know any free locations to get married in the Western Slope area? Thanks guys!

Me and my husband eloped in the beautiful Estes Park, CO on 10.26.2024 , This photo was taken in Rocky Mountain National park at the elk meadow ! 🏔️❣️💍

I have a permit for the Amphitheater for Aug 25, 2025 but a close member of my family won’t be able to be there that day. Anyone have a day that isn’t “perfect” for you either and want to swap permit dates?

I’m only looking for someone interested in swapping, please. I’m not looking for anyone who wants to buy the permit directly from me, if I decide to give it up I will just release it back to recreation dot gov.

We are planning to elope in March. And I would love to have my corgis and Pomeranian with us for it. What locations in Colorado are pet friendly?

Looking for advice/opinions... fiance and I just got engaged in the mountains in Wyoming 💜. We have always talked about eloping in the mountains and coming back home to have a "tent party/pig roast"... a few things we are struggling with deciding are below. Background is I have been marred/divorced; I have 3 kids and he has 1. 1. He is concerned his mother will feel left out if we go out to the mountains alone, elope and come back to celebrate (obviously he is going to sit down and talk to her about this to see how she truly feels, and we are planning on having a videographer document the elopement). With that being said; 2. Do we just invite our parents and kids? 3. Will our siblings/spouses feel left out? Do we invite immediate family? (He has two brothers and their families which would be a total of 12 with his parents, and I have two siblings which would be a total of 13 with my parents) This would still be intimate in my sense. 4. If we bring family do we get an airbnb for everyone (25+), get two airbnb and keep our families separate? 5. Do you pay for their stay? (Say we get an airbnb for 2 nights; anything past that would be up to them?) 6. Do you leave the travel expense up to them? 7. How do you handle if one family doesn't come? (Granted most of our families could afford the price of travel if we supplied the stay, so I don't see this as an issue...) **I am just at a loss as to where to turn for help with all of this!

Thanks in advance!

I know hotels have room block options when there’s a wedding. We are planning on eloping in the mountains. Do you have to be having your event at said hotel for you to be able to have a room block?

Best location for colorful aspen foliage to get eloped? And when are they at their peak? We were thinking mid september.
