ELOPEMENTS IN THE RED ROCK DESERT

A wedding day that feels adventurous, intimate, and fully your own.

Moab is more than just a beautiful backdrop. It is a place for couples who want their wedding day to feel intentional, emotional, and experience driven. From quiet sunrise vows above the desert to off roading through red rock trails and hiking beneath towering canyon walls, every part of your day can feel deeply personal and unforgettable.

EXPLORE THE EXPERIENCE

REAL MOAB ELOPEMENT

A full day adventure across Moab with sunrise vows, Arches National Park, off roading, and BASE jumping.

Traveling from out of state, Haley and Josh wanted a wedding day that felt completely true to who they are. Their Moab elopement began with sunrise vows high above the desert before exploring Arches National Park, off roading through red rock trails in their Jeep, and ending the day with an unforgettable BASE jump above the canyon landscapes.

Every part of their experience was built around adventure, connection, and creating memories that felt deeply personal to them instead of following a traditional wedding timeline.

MOAB ELOPEMENT FAQ

Everything you need to know before planning your Moab wedding day.

Yes, many Moab locations require some type of permit depending on where you plan to have your ceremony, how many guests you are bringing, and whether you are using national park, state park, or public land. We help guide you through what may be needed based on your location.

Do you need a permit to elope in Moab?

Spring and fall are usually the best seasons for Moab elopements because the weather is more comfortable and the desert light is beautiful. March through May and September through November are especially popular.

What is the best time of year to elope in Moab?

Both can be beautiful, but sunrise is often better for privacy, cooler temperatures, and softer light in popular locations. Sunset is incredible for golden portraits and canyon views, but some locations may be busier.

Is sunrise or sunset better for a Moab elopement?

Yes. You can absolutely include guests, but some locations are better for small groups than others. We help you choose ceremony spots based on accessibility, guest count, privacy, and the overall experience you want.

Can we bring family or guests?

Yes, couples can elope in Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park, but both locations have rules, permit requirements, and approved ceremony areas. We help you understand your options and plan around the best lighting, timing, and logistics.

Can we elope in Arches or Canyonlands?

Yes. Off roading can be an incredible part of a Moab elopement day. Whether you want Jeep trails, desert backroads, or a more rugged adventure experience, we can help build that into your timeline in a way that still feels relaxed.

Can we off road during our elopement?

Yes. Location guidance and timeline planning are a huge part of what we do. We help you choose locations based on scenery, lighting, privacy, accessibility, permits, guest count, and the kind of experience you want your day to have.

Do you help with locations and timelines?
