If you’re dreaming of a wedding ceremony that’s as unique as your love story, a small, quaint and cost efficient elopement in the La Sal Mountains near Moab, Utah might be the perfect fit for you. The dramatic landscapes, serene setting and nearby recreation make the Moab and La Sal Mountains a perfect spot for your wedding party to enjoy an intimate, memorable ceremony. Here are four reasons why our wedding guests choose the area for an unforgettable wedding ceremony.

1. Stunning Natural Backdrop of the La Sal Mountains

Moab is famous for its awe-inspiring scenery, and it’s no wonder why couples are drawn to this picturesque destination. The La Sal Mountains are an off the beaten path gem (20 minutes from Moab!) featuring snow covered peaks and high mountain lakes. Imagine exchanging vows against the backdrop of the beautiful mountain peaks and sweeping valley floors. The high alpine vistas and breathtaking sunsets provide a dramatic and picturesque setting for your wedding photos, ensuring your special day is framed by nature’s grandeur.

2. Intimate and Personal Wedding Ceremony

Eloping allows you to focus on what truly matters: your love and commitment to each other. Without the pressures of a large guest list, you can create a ceremony that reflects your personal style and preferences. The natural beauty offers flexible settings to create the perfect intimate celebration. Whether it’s just the two of you or with a small group of close friends and family your ceremony will be the perfect setting for your wedding party and a peaceful experience free from the stress of a traditional wedding.

3. Moab Area Adventure Awaits

For adventurous couples (and wedding parties), the Moab area is a playground of outdoor activities. After your ceremony, you can embark on a bucket list hike through the rock formations in a nearby national park, enjoy a scenic drive through La Sal Mountain Loop road, or even take a sunset hot air balloon ride. The area’s outdoor offerings allow you to combine your wedding with an adventure-filled honeymoon, making for an extraordinary start to your married life.

4. Affordable and Stress-Free Wedding

Traditional weddings can be ridiculously expensive and stressful, but eloping offers a more affordable and relaxed alternative. With fewer guests and a simpler setup, you can save money on venue fees, catering, and other expenses. Our experienced staff and wedding vendor partners can help you make the wedding planning a breeze. This allows you to allocate your budget to creating unique experiences or splurging on activities that matter most to you.
