Vail Elopement Planners
A planner earns the fee in Vail when the day involves more than a ceremony site and a photographer. The resorts and mountain wedding decks here, at Vail and at Beaver Creek, have their own booking rules, minimums and timelines, and a local planner already knows the people who run them. They can also handle the Eagle County marriage license appointment, transport up and down the mountain, a dinner for twelve on a festival weekend and a backup plan when afternoon storms roll through.
Planners who work Vail usually also cover Beaver Creek, Edwards and the Aspen side of the region, so the list below includes planners based in Vail and planners elsewhere in the Vail and Aspen region. Ask each one whether they offer a day of coordination package for elopements, which is smaller and cheaper than full planning, and how far ahead they need you for a peak summer or September date. Featured listings come first and are labeled.
