National Park Elopement

Can you elope in a National Park?

YES!

National Parks and State Parks are very elopement-friendly, especially since elopements usually have fewer guests, which makes it easier to accommodate guest count limits. Most of my couples choose to elope in a National Park or elope in a State Park!
