Eloping in Vail & Aspen

Vail and Aspen give you two very different days. Aspen means the Maroon Bells, Independence Pass and a historic town; Vail means lift served ceremony decks, resort coordinators and a quieter valley of ranches behind it.

The Maroon Bells Amphitheater is booked on Recreation.gov with weekend blackouts in summer and early fall, and Maroon Creek Road is closed to private cars during the day in season, so the date you love may not be available. Start with the reservation calendar, then pick vendors. Photographers, planners and venues in this valley handle resort logistics, shuttles and permit timing as a matter of routine.

Based in Vail & Aspen: 38 elopement photographers, 63 micro-wedding venues, 9 florists, 1 officiant and 10 elopement planners. Every listing links to the vendor's own site, and you can save any of them to your free planner to compare quotes.
