MOAB ELOPEMENT FAQ

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

Yes. Zion National Park requires permits for wedding ceremonies inside the park. Permit rules can depend on your ceremony location, guest count, and setup. We help guide couples through what may be needed.

DO YOU NEED A PERMIT TO ELOPE IN ZION?

Spring and fall are usually the most comfortable and popular seasons. Winter can be quieter and beautiful, while summer can be very hot and crowded.

Sunrise is usually best for privacy, cooler temperatures, and softer light. Sunset can be beautiful too, especially for portraits, but some areas may be busier.

IS SUNRISE OR SUNSET BETTER FOR A ZION ELOPEMENT?

Yes. Some Zion locations are better for guests than others. We help recommend ceremony options based on accessibility, guest count, and the overall experience you want.

CAN WE BRING FAMILY OR GUESTS?

Yes, but ceremonies inside the park must follow park rules and approved locations. Some couples also choose private venues or nearby public lands for more flexibility.
