How to Plan Your Colorado Adventure Elopement | Step-by-Step Guide
Planning an adventure elopement in Colorado can feel overwhelming at first, but it doesn’t have to. When couples reach out to us, we focus on a process that makes your day intentional, intimate, and completely you. Here’s how we do it:
Step 1: Schedule a Call and Get to Know Each Other
The first step (and most important!) is simple: fill out our contact form and schedule a call. This is where we learn about your story, your love, and your vision for the day. We will ask questions about your preferred locations, any activities you’d like to do (snowshoe, hike, swim in a high alpine lake!), and what kind of experience you want to create. It’s all about understanding you, not just your wedding.
Step 2: Discuss Your Plan and Vision
Once we get to know each other, we will talk through your overall plan. Do you want a sunrise hike to your ceremony spot? Maybe you want to exchange vows on top of a peak in the San Jauns? Or maybe hike up a sand dune at sunset and frolic down together? Together, we will create a plan that balances adventure, intimacy, and photography, so you can fully enjoy the day without feeling rushed.
Step 3: Choose Your Location
Colorado is chock-full of epic landscapes, and choosing the right one is probably the most important task. Since we are both locals, we have quite a few spots up our sleeves, and we would love for you to pick our brains about them! Based on your vision, we help you pick a location that fits your style, level of adventure, and desired level of privacy. From the San Juan Mountains near Durango to remote Southwest trails, the right location sets the tone for your entire elopement.
Step 4: Finalize the Details
Once your location is set, we dive into the nitty-gritty. For example, we recently helped a couple plan their Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad elopement. We found a better pickup and dropoff location based on the requested timeline, found the perfect ceremony spot, and then took them to the top of Molas Pass to celebrate the occasion. By planning with intention, your day will feel seamless, natural, and stress-free.
Step 5: Your Adventure Elopement Day
TODAY IS YOUR DAY! After the planning, we go out and do the damn thing. And we have a really great time doing it. Your day will be easy, adventurous, and a story you can tell for the rest of your life. :)
Why Planning Matters for Your Colorado Elopement
Adventure elopements are about more than epic backdrops; they’re about focusing on you, your partner, and what you actually want to do to celebrate your wedding day. When you choose to elope, you choose to leave the stress of a traditional wedding behind.
