Permit required
If you are planning to elope in Rocky Mountain National Park you will need to obtain a permit. The permit is $200 and can be purchased up to a year in advance of the wedding. You will need to know ahead of time how many people are in your party, including the officiant and photographer. Specify your location of choice and understand not all permits are approved.

Attend the Estes Park Wedding Association Bridal Show
Every year the Estes Park Wedding Association hosts its annual Bridal Show. This year the show will be held on January 24th, 2019 at The Stanley Hotel. It is a great opportunity to scout out vendors, photographers, officiants, and so much more under one roof. General admission is $10 for the first attendee and $5 for each additional guest.
Timing is everything
Most likely if you are planning an Estes Park Elopement you are preparing to have the ceremony outside. Knowing when the lighting will be at its best will allow for some of the best opportunities for photos. Your photographer will most likely tell you when the best time of the day is for photographs but knowing beforehand is helpful for planning purposes. Depending on the season you choose, knowing when sunset will be is key.
