Las Vegas – The #1 Romantic Place to Elope

While it may be considered a cliché, a Las Vegas wedding can be a genuine romantic option for you – especially if you have a highly developed sense of fun. There are eons of choices: a traditional chapel, a theme ceremony, or even a drive-through chapel. A Las Vegas elopement can cost as little as $300 or as much as several thousand dollars.

One of the most romantic places to elope in Las Vegas is Mandalay Bay, where you can choose from a simple, elegant ceremony, or a slightly larger marriage package. The latter includes a pianist, champagne, dinner for two and a night in a fabulous honeymoon suite. Even the chapels in Mandalay Bay exude romance: several chapels grace the shores of a tropical lagoon and feature chandeliers and classical French décor.

Hawaii – Elopement on Paradise Shores

Hawaii is an incredibly romantic choice for couples wishing to elope. Because no matter where you go on the islands, you're surrounded by sun, sand and breathtaking scenery. A romantic beach wedding in Hawaii creates a sense of eloping to paradise, and because Hawaii is a popular wedding destination, there are many beach wedding options to choose from.

You might consider a beach wedding on the shores of Hawaii's Kauai Island, where couples can participate in traditional Hawaiian marriage rites, honoring and blessing both those who are present and family or friends who are with you in spirit. You'll enjoy a sunset dinner on the beach and a night in a seaside condo. Or you might choose a quiet ceremony at Waikiki beach, making your vows under swaying palms, and celebrating with champagne and two nights accommodation on the gorgeous Hawaiian shores.

Niagara Falls, Canada – Get Married in the Honeymoon Capital

One of the most romantic places to elope is also one of the most popular honeymoon destinations. The incredible Niagara Falls is a gorgeous setting in which to profess your love for each other. The Grand Lady Cruise offers wedding ceremonies against the backdrop of a clear blue sky and glistening waters.

If you choose this option, the Grand Lady Cruise shop can be yours for two hours, along with a champagne toast for 50 guests and a civil ceremony performed by the captain. This way, you can elope and invite friends and family as well. Niagara Falls also has several smaller chapel options for a more private romantic event.
