Wedding Planning Guides
wedding Rocky Mountain National Park People create memories in every day, but saying "I do" here proves particularly memorable. Views as expansive as your love extend in every direction, whether you've scaled a cliff and are planning a safe, tethered lover's leap, or you're strolling hand-in-hand through a wildflower-dotted meadow surrounded by snowcapped peaks.
Destination weddings, adventure weddings, elopements-Rocky Mountain National Park welcomes them all. But simple proves best. All are outdoors and primitive; only a few offer picnic table seating or wooden benches. Thus, weddings within the national park are ideal for couples interested in taking advantage of the natural surroundings and sharing its beauty with the closest of family and friends.
Rocky Mountain National Park offers stunning mountain vistas as backdrops to your intimate wedding vows. To check on the current regulations and restrictions, designated wedding sites, download forms for wedding ceremonies in Rocky Mountain National Park please visit the for wedding information
HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED AT MY ROCKY MOUNTAIN ELOPEMENT?
The choice to elope outdoors does come with the risk of inclement weather. But Colorado weather passes quite quickly, there have been times when I’ve had a wedding with torrential rain and hail and in 30 minutes it has completely cleared and been sunny and beautiful. To reduce the risk of afternoon showers (which are incredibly prevalent in RMNP) have a morning ceremony! In the event of rain I have 15+ clear umbrellas for you and your guests. But remember, rain or shine, you’re getting married!!
WHAT IF IT RAINS ON OUR ELOPEMENT DAY?
No, your permit bipasses the timed entrance. Just make sure that all your guests and wedding vendors come in with you the rangers know to let you in.
WHAT IS THE TIMED ENTRANCE? DO I NEED TO RESERVE THAT TOO?
Absolutely you can go elsewhere in the park! And I so encourage it! There are so many gorgeous spots at RMNP, exploring is one of my favorite things to do on wedding day.
CAN WE GO ELSEWHERE IN THE PARK? OR JUST OUR CEREMONY LOCATION?
The town of Estes Park is right outside of RMNP. Estes is a super cute mountain town with lots of breweries, restaurants and activities. RMNP is about an hour from Boulder and 1.5 hours from Denver, but sometimes there can be traffic on the one lane highway taking you to the park and there is usually some traffic at the ticket booth.
WHAT CITY IS CLOSEST TO RMNP?
As Rocky Mountain wedding photographers we love to explore and find new locations in Estes park to take the that we work with. There is nothing quite like a mountain wedding for kicking off your marriage.
